Years ago ASDA would acept any money off vouchers without the need to buy the actual products:j -are there any supermarkets who openly accept money off vouchers ?(yes i am aware this is aginst the ToC of vouchers)

Depending on the SA tesco do but waitrose have never said no. Of course the supermarket has to stock the item though.

Waitrose will accept the vouchers as long as they sell the product, and it's not store identified. i.e. only use at Tesco. But you can't use them on WaitroseDeliver unless you buy the product, I'm not sure why, I think the system refuses them for some reason.

asda takes them i asked the girl on till last night if they were stopping taking coupons if u didnt buy the product and she said as far as she was aware asda was contiuing to take them

My asda stopped taking them about a month ago, said they had been told about it in a meeting. I don't know if it is a store by store policy or national.

Tried a couple of Asda'a recently each on more than 1 occasion but they say they now only take them if you buy the product. Looks like I am going to have to bin my stash of MOC's.

When i first started at Sainsburys I always told to only accept coupons if a customer has bought the item and when i explained i couldnt accept the coupon the customers got a bit shirty with me,

I worked at Sainsbury's as a temp over Christmas and we were told it's only if they buy the item, but it was so busy and people were buying so much I couldn't be bothered to check so I just scanned them anyway. And sometimes when items wouldn't scan I just pretended they had and passed them through because the supervisors were such a-holes. I hated working there.

There was one time I gave an old lady £50 cashback without putting it through the till. That was an accident, a supervisor was messing about putting change in my till at the time and I got flustered. Still, nice Christmas present for her.

Blimey! my ASDA stopped many many moons ago - i kept trying hoping it was just individual members of staff - but no luck
So Tesco seems best bet

My local Tesco will now only accept coupons for products that you have actually purchased.

To be perfectly honest it's always been that way, they just werent enforcing it properly before. They should get their computer systems sorted so they cant take off irrelevant coupons
