Could I assume the first coupon for Waitrose could be used at Tesco's?

:T :j

Yes, sounds like it! But wouldn't assume until we've seen it on Saturday TBH.

It looks as if it's a 'conditional spend' voucher which T do accept from rival Supermarkets (NOT just geographical rivals, it doesn't matter if there is no Waitys in your County!). As long as it doesn't state £10 off a £60 spend on a particular range it is fine in Tesco (assuming it also has a 99 barcode of course).

Conditional Spends are the ONLY type of rival voucher that Tesco do officially accept (never mind whether other vouchers scan). So we need to be sure before trying to use it.

I'm willing to bet some peeps will report problems at Tesco though, unfortunately so many stores don't know that they should accept spend & save coupons from ALL other major Supermarkets.

It's not just Sainsburys ones so don't be fobbed off if you are spending the £60 in Tesco and get a cashier who says no...ask them to check with the Supervisor...then a Manager if need be. It's unfair to say the least to get a customer in knowing Tesco corporate policy, then to wrongly refuse them a valid £10 off at the till - but be aware and prepared - in a calm, polite frame of mind - just in case they try to refuse it!

Tesco policy on spend saves IS clear. It says 'any other major Supermarket'. In fact, in one coupon policy Update to stores ages ago, Tesco used Waitrose as the example which could prove useful now.

If need be state this wording as a fact even if you are holding up a queue, and even if they try to intimidate you by marching you off to the CS desk. Say you 'have friend who works in Tesco' so you know the policy and are surprised that their store doesn't (BTW it applies in all Tesco stores). Even if using the voucher on a Sunday your store can check with Dundee (sadly they are a mixed bunch who don't all know either...but it's one option...).

HTH, hope it's the type of voucher we are hoping for!

The London Paper often does a free or MOC deal with Crush Juice bar where you take in you copy of the paper and they give away various diso!!!!s and or free drinks/smoothies.

It had a coupn in it today explaining it all- but don't have the paper anymore! It was stuck where all the TV info was, kniw its too late now, but worth checking every day if you like smoothies/crush/..etc
