just to confirm that morrisons coupons were accepted and scanned at tescos without any problem this afternoon.

Grrrr! :mad:

Why oh why do some people post such a load of unhelpful twaddle sometimes. No apologies, it really hacks me off that people try to wreck the coupon policy with their own stupidity to save a few pence.

YES a coupon with a barcode starting with 99 will usually scan at T, but that's not the point.

NO Tesco won't get the money back on it. The coupon will 'bounce' back from the clearing house soon, along with any other pieces of rubbish people have sneaked past the cashier or stuffed in the self scan. Get too many worthless coupons coming back to the cash office in your store and as far as using coupons is concerned it will be GAME OVER!

Rant over!

Here. Here. :T :T

And who will be the first to moan when they can't use their coupons at Tescos? All those idiots that use coupons which say for use only Morrisons/Asda that Mr T can't get the money back on. What's the point of saving 50p by using a dud coupon at Tesco when you can print off one for the same value from the printable coupon forum.

And to all those using the "Morrison only" coupons at Tescos - here' s a couple of short, sweet, smallish words for you - the first I can't mention but the second one is OFF.

Hello, sorry if I have missed the answer to this, I have looked but can't find any info - is the Daily Mail Book Token finished now? - usually printed at the beginning of each month. Been able to use this in Waitrose if they have stocked the book...thanks in advance if anyone knows the answer.

It used to be printed in the Daily Mail on the first Saturday of the month with a repeat in the following Friday's edition.

However if I remember correctly December's first Saturday's (6th) DM didn't have it but it was in the following Monday (8th). Can't remember if it was repeated on the Friday.

This month's (January) does exist online

Book of the Month BOOK TOKEN
It is for "INSIDE THE WHALE" by JENNIE ROONEY - worth £4.00 and valid until 31st January 2009

Barcode is 9914000544000

Just wanted to say thanks so much to quoia for responding to my query, i looked on the Daily mail site but could not find the link - sadly the book is not in Waitrose at the moment, although their books change a couple of times a week - if I see any of the DM book token ones in there I will try and post it. Thanks everyone for all your fab help! ss
