    It's so obvious what has happened. There is a massive amount the op isn't telling us.
    The few lines I've quoted above say it all. There is a lot more to this than what we've been told.

    But:

    a) How do you know?

    b) what does it matter?

    Surely the point was to answer the question not judge/point the finger?

    The OP will know whether or not they are telling us the whole truth, but at the end of the day they asked for advice on the situation as it was told, not on how we may or may not guess it to have been.

    Therefore they are gonna get advice on the situation as it was told and if the situation was anything other than the way they described it, the advice will be useless to them anyway so they have not gained anything! At the end of the day it's up to them! C'est la vie!

    I've gotbetter things to do than scour the floor for a few pence worth of clubcard vouchers.

    When I used Tesco online, I did used to search on here for online voucher codes (or free delivery codes) to use as I traded my vouchers in for a holiday. Is that the same thing in your eyes?
    No

    I just can't understand why people search bins for said receipts or search around for them :S

    But then why did you write that reply? You wanted to get your point of view across right?

    So did I.

    I bought some A4 paper, and a drink, using the Mitchum Deodarant and Heinz coupons, which is allowed.

    Isn't the idea that you buy whats on the coupons with the coupons??

    lol I didn't know people did that. I can see how that can be deemed as abuse of a clubcard though.

    Yeah but thats what this is about. It can work if people don't take the !!!!. There will be some that go too far and risk the store not getting any money for said coupon.

    Sometimes suppliers will refuse to pay. Say they sell a store 200 of an item a week but the store is sending 300 coupons for that item back a week, they'll stop paying!
