The Mystery Shopping thread - VII

Anyone doing the wine shops for RE? I have a couple this evening and was wondering about the 40% off voucher that is going around, it doesn't say in the assignment notes anything about using a voucher, RE usually state if you can't.
What shall I do? Anyone done this without any issues?
Really want to go for the 3 for £10 deal and with the voucher it will bring me in bang on the reimbursement.
On closer inspection, the T&C on the voucher state that it cannot be used in conjunction with any 3 for 2, discount, voucher or offer. But I could just buy 2 bottles and then use the voucher which will cost me £1.

Hmmm, I'd like to know the answer too. In my book as long as it doesn't say not to then I always believe I can. It should be fair, as long as the voucher is handed over after the MOS has had a chance to upsell.

If you have 3 bottle and use the voucher, it works out better than the offer in the first place.

I'm going to give it a try tonight. Here's a link to a post on here with the voucher, to save anyone else searching: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1584903&highlight=wine+voucher

So, we could have one bottle + extra required purchase at below the reimbursement, or two bottles + extra req'd purchase at just over the reimbursement, or three bottles + extra at well over the reimbursement, but still a good deal. Hmmmmm

Speaking of the wine shops, I am doing 2 tonight and slightly confused by question 11, are they just wanting to know what offer stood out?

Don't think the voucher is valid on the 3 for £10 deal though so either:

one bottle for reimb

2 bottles + voucher for 60p more (ish)

3 bottles (probably can't use voucher) for £4 more, so you're paying over the odds for the third bottle.

Plus the other small item to purchase...

Think I'm going to give it a go. Wish me luck!

Just whatever promo was most prominant I guess. If there are a number of offers on display, which one grabbed your attention/was best displayed?

I did two of these last night. I couldn't see any purchase that would bring me in at just over the reimbursement with two bottles (but then I didn't realise about the voucher).

On the other hand, I'm pretty sure I was overcharged at the second shop, but of course since they haven't given me a proper itemised receipt, I can't tell without going back in to have another look!
