Could anyone help me out and point me in the direction of evidence to prove we can use 3 petrol vouchers in one transaction. I was sure someone said we could use 3 but I know if I don't have the evidence the trout in there won't let me. And when you're filling a 9 seater bus then 15p off is a LOT of money

Thanks

Just look at number 18 on the terms and conditions. It's up to a maximum of 100 litres too. hth

Have been getting the "Yali Winemakers Selection Sauv/ Blanc 75Cl" as it has an extra 150 points. it was £4.99 a bottle but has gone upto £6.99 over night.

The SEL this morning still stated £4.99 but was charged £6.99. got the last two bottles so £8.00 DTD

.... oh and 300 points :j

sorry, can i clarify something please, if the offer is out of date on the sel, they are only giving the difference now is that right? i only ask because myself and my mum need new house phones and i saw on here that cs have given the difference. my mum didnt know this and she genuinely bought us 2 sets of phones half price last night but they scanned at full, she was only given the difference. it is not her local store and the sign was taken down in anycase. she was actively told before asking that there is no dtd anymore. she is aware of dtd but due to the blue sign missing didnt push it. has she been trouted or is that right? sorry for war and peace ! thank you

Thing is with these is that it's pretty pointless posting pics of stuff as the probability of an item having the same incorrect SEL at another store is close to nil. It's down to individual staff tardiness and I prefer it this way - it takes work, whereas penny items/glitches are just leeched by the masses of lurkers.

Phew, rant over. I wasn't having a go at you, just saying that pictures are useless as you're unlikely to find the same incorrect SEL in your store. For the sake of it though, it's a 'Kids' Throw' in a light blue. Blue was the only one with a yellow outdated SEL. There was four there, I got two - this illustrates my point now - even if I told you the store, the SEL has been removed so you wouldn't be able to get them anyway! Nevertheless, if you REALLY want a pic, you'll have to PM me a mobile number so I can send you one as my attempts at uploading here have been pretty dire of late.

On to the kettles and toasters: both are stainless steel, I think Russell Hobbs, although don't quote me on that. They'll be easy to find as they only stock a maximum of three solely stainless steel toasters/kettles. Both are scanning at £39.97, yet the SEL (dated 12/07/11) states £19.97, so work out being paid 3p to take each away. If you want to know which store, feel free to PM me, unless you've worked it out from previous posts of mine!

Oh, and as for the 'getting a fix' thing - that's what I felt like today. I was two scans away from buying a kettle and toaster just to satisfy my craving! Then on the penultimate scan, the throws came good.

Oh, adam! If we didn't post any dtd finds due to it being unlikely to find in other stores why do we have this thread?
I know there isn't a big chance but there is one! If I didn't post about the phones others who actually found them wouldn't look in the first place... The thing is, if you found it others know that the price actually went up and T didn't extend the offer which they do sometimes... And with all the toys/kids stuff in store it's hard to know what to look for and we don't have a whole day to spend in T scanning the sels :eek: we have to get back home and report all the finds here :rotfl:
I'd actually even love to have a list on here with recent dtd finds not a website or post on the first page but maybe someone posting all the finds together every 4-5 pages? So the "lurkers" actually don't have it all on a plate but the regulars can have an easy access to the recent finds? just an idea though...
especially with the phones it's hard to remember all the models... and also some stores get normal white sels for offers(probably error), like the one for the GR dinner set I've found... it wasn't an yellow expired sel just a normal white one and if it wasn't posted on here I had no idea it works!
I'd like to know what you folk think of it? :A
Also what is it with the store dtd atm? Anyone knows the OFFICIAL statement from HO? is it just the difference if sel expired?!

off I go on my mission today however I don't hold my breath as I checked the stores already on Wednesday and don't think any ood sels would magically reappear... but maybe some megablocks? LOL

Have a nice day everyone!(the weather is sh*t here so the T trip is gonna be the highlight of the day :eek: :rotfl:)
:beer:

adrenalin

no dtds for me i thought id get the glasses as always there there was at least 30 with sticker haha, see what there like haha. not bad for 4 glasses under a quid. I tried the toaster, and that mega blocks police thing but right price.

Has mega blocks gone in anyone else store? no space for it last few times or any in sight.

The toaster is RH, i seen it in my local store last night noticed SEL said 12th July scanned it & it came up £19.97 so i think it might vary store to store

I saw the canon printers mentioned here the other day, and the SEL was 10/7/11. I didn't have the guts to take one with me to price check, as it's quite a big box. Not sure if that could be a DTD jobbie. HTH.

if it was the black one for nearly 40 quid on half price I actually had the guts to take it to the scanner :rotfl:but scanned correctly

Just been my local T. Sel 59.99. Sel was dated offer ends 14/07. Went through checkout and charged 129.97! They have honoured the DTD giving me 140.00. Yippee! There was even a trout in the background chunnering 'you would have realised the price was wrong when going through the till'. Manager and other Cs were lovely tho!!
