Just so as people know I have already reported this thread to the abuse team so they can decide whether to delete it or not

Maybe. However how does this differ from using Boots vouchers to obtain free goods, or using cachback sites and depositing money in online gaming to achieve cash / nectar points. Or juggling credit cards to obtain free interest well beyond the intended period. Or taking out policies / services /magazine subscriptions to obtain free gifts with the view of cancelling. Or buying overpriced goods from Tescos to obtain them free or.....

None of these scenarios is what the retailer / company want or expect from their customers, but we do it to buck the system, and make something for ourselves.

IMHO it is not fraudulant. Cheeky, playing the system, morally questionable, but not fraudulant.

when companies ask customers to try their products with a free gift or a cheap offer they don't expect 10 out of 10 customer keeping the product or subscription!!!!


don't remember reading in ANY TESCO where the say buy things and then take it back to keep club card points!!!

or any other shop!

on the other hand I've never read in Tesco's any signs saying please use any vouchers for money off items even if you haven't bought them. Both that and buying goods and returning them I would say are utilising Tesco's own policies to gain an advantage. They could stop either practice if they really wanted

Although I personally couldnt be bothered to do it for the few extra points it would give you, dont forget that the people who run Tescos are some of the sharpest businessmen in the country who have made tescos one of the biggest supermarket chains in the world, if they saw this as a problem it would soon end!

why anyone would be STUPID enough to give them vouchers for the items not bought?

do you mean stupid or dishonest?

If you want we can go back though the Tesco threads and provide usernames from these boards, though it will take some time?
