where did the e mail come from was it head office or from the store, cos if it wasn't head office I'd get them involved. I too only shop at mr T's cos of coupon policy. I think if it was me would think about getting local paper involved (I'm sure we could come up with some great headlines :rolleyes: :rotfl: ) Best headline could get a free coupon to use at Mr T in St Austell :rotfl:

The email came from head office who apparently had spoken to the store manager. My brother did suggest going to the papers but I wouldn't want to ruin it for anyone else to be honest. xxx

I have just checked my emails and had this email from Tesco's cs. I thought I would post it on here as it may help other people. Like I said we only used to use maybe 10-15 vouchers in a transaction if we had that many so just be warned everyone it looks like some stores are clamping down lol!!!!!

Thank you for this update.I can appreciate that our policy does not state a maximum number of coupons that can be used. However, our store did find that the amount being used was in excess of acceptable, regardless of how long for. I can advise however, that the petrol station and the store are run separately and the ban is for the store only. I hope this information is of help to you and thank you again for your enquiry.

Do they do food in the Petrol Station and can you use moc's if you don't buy petrol?? Bit worrying, I used 24 in my shop last week, luckily I bought 25 items (pure fluke) I though you were safe as long as you had no more moc's than items and the total was less so that you actually gave them some money?

Yep know about that, looks like its replaced the 30p one:j but they are saying they are getting an email with a link for a 50% off voucher

Yes I got that e mail too.It prints off 2 copies of 50% off home roasts but works as £1.01 voucher.I signed up to the mc cain club so I presume thats why i got it.

Oh isn't it kind of Tesco to let you spend your hard earned money buying petrol from them (NOT!!):rolleyes: I think that more people are using coupons cos Martin is letting more people know, with all the interviews etc he does and he also posted it in his weekly newsletter. Don't know if it's just me, but I wish he would now go onto some other money saving tip (selfish I know but I don't care:p )

I have never known a Tesco petrol station accept coupons even though their tills are the same as instore.

I suppose if you were just buying food you could insist they check with the store but in pinkprincedss1980's case I think it could cause more trouble than it's worth.

Sounds to me as if St Austell store have made an OTT decision, and - as has often been the case as reported on forums - Dundee (who are not HO they are only a Call centre and have very little clout) have sided with the Store. They don't know the coupon policy as they didn't issue it, Head Office (Cheshunt) did - but they don't deal with customer queries!

pinkprincedss1980 I think you are stuck between a rock and a hard place and it may be better to walk away and continue to shop elsewhere. Their decision about 'excess coupons' is unfair because the policy is clear that you can use any amount - but I am not sure I would take it further if treated as you have been. It's their loss, I just hope you can find another store who will accept some coupons, or a cheaper store?
