    My £3 Airwick was refused today as it did not have my name on it...has 'Personalised Coupon' printed on it..had loads of these like this in the past ,and used no probs, but she stood her ground ...I asked for someone else to check and they said it was more than their job was worth to let me use it ...cashiers instructed to check all names now and they have to match the one on the credit card...I asked what if I wasn't using my credit card , they wouldn't know my name then...but still refused...got a months date on it, so will use it next time on selfscan....she took every other coupon, no probs , even having to type the barcode in on 4 of them....old-trouts...don't you just love 'em for trying hard to ruin your day...(don't mean you 'Old_ Trout')
    But now for the good bit...woman offering samples of Maxwell House Coffee and giving away competition entry forms if you buy the product, and there is a 30p moc on it....I told her I had just bought a jar last week , so she gave me a form...she was guarding them closely , but look out for them in your Tescos in case she slips off for a comfort break and leaves them unattented....not that you lot would take any ,would I suggest you do a thing like that...just thought you would like to go and look at them !!!

    Hi,

    After reading on here, I got today Nestle pic A pac and found so many coupons on them.

    Many of them are "for ROI use only".....hope its fine to use them in my local tesco ( England one )......;)

    Thanks to OP for finding out the "DEAL" As the pack is only £1.19 and almost got the coupons worth £5 in them.....

    Thanks,
    idlesaver
    Any clues on the outside of the pack to say if they contain the coupons?

    Hi Katie1991, The 99 start shows it is a "discount" or "MoneyOffCoupon" (MOC). These work the same in all the stores that accept them, which means they are NonStoreSpecific (NSS).
    This is completely seperate from the pricing structure of goods for sale, although it IS held on the same in-store database;).

    (also, rather than copy/pasting from posts, if you use the "quote" box on the bottom right of the post, it brings the quote up in a box, as above;))



    I take it you work for Tescos. Can I ask which one, and what your understanding of the "coupon policy" is?
    d'oh they never tought us that.
    if it scans I take it, but only one of each one, but if they are all diffrent, i'll take them all ,some of the older ones, trouts is it, only take a few, but we were tought to take them all

    The only clue is to push up the boxes a little bit, and you should see the black dotted line about 1/8 inch up from the bottom of the coupon behind it. All the 8 packs seem to have them (except the honey roast shreddies or something similar).
    There are several different coupons on them, so you should be able to use 3 or 4 in the same shop, IYKWIM:beer:
    It's nice to be nice .....:beer:
    You HAVE checked google before asking, haven't you?;)

    This Old_Trout was taught proper as well. BUT, (there's always a but) BUT, I won't let obvious fakes/photo copies through. Honesty is the best policy!!!! :p:p:p:p
