Tesco stopping voucher redemption for non-purchased items?

WELSH-DRAGON_2

I was just sorting out my FREE item vouchers for my next tesco shop - I'm going to get free chips, free cider, free butter and free youghurts !!! plus going to use my clubcard vouchers to clock up the points. My family say I'm Tesco obssessed ..... not really I just shop wisely. I know which store will take my vouchers and which ones to avoid, shame they cannot all be consistent though.

Does that mean that you're using your clubcard vouchers for your shopping (which only buys you £1 of goods for £1 of clubcard vouchers) instead of using them for deals, which would buy you £4 of deals for each £1 of clubcard vouchers? :eek:

I've used both ASDA and Tesco self serve this week with somerfield vouchers and gone through no problem.

I work at Tesco and I've been told only to accept one voucher if they haven't bought the item, so i ask the customer if they'd like the one put through with the most value.

I was also told this yesterday I could choose one coupon as hadn't brought the product. Fair enough I used the £2 pampers one I had brought tesco nappies.

Tesco petrol is expensive anyway, You pay for the points. Look on https://www.petrolprices.com and follow the instructions and you get an e-mail every day if you like with the 5 cheapest petrol stations in your area.

Tesco is the cheapest petrol in my town so your theory is incorrect

Maybe I didn't explain myself very well, what I meant is that if it's a Tesco coupon it won't go through the tills unless you have actually bought the product in question

Yes, Tesco were joint cheapest in my area, too

I was told in Sidcup Tesco yesterday they NOW only take 3 coupons and as one of those one of their own (money off total shop and using clubcard) they would only take 2 others.

I've spent ages looking through magazines and papers and cutting them out and now can't use them unless I go more often to Tesco, then there's the price of petrol and my impulse buys so I will be worse off.

Does it really matter to them!

:mad:

Why don't you go through the till more than once one shop can be your mums/grans etc.

I used a voucher in the self service till today (Tesco Swansea) and had not bought the product.

I am still under the impression that you can use 1 voucher to a value of 10% of your shopping.

Have done this for ages and the self service till always seems to accept them no prob.

I've been with my mum when she had a voucher for an airfreshner refill, it was still valid and she bought the correct product and the voucher wasnt accepted which was very strange I thought even CS didnt know why it wasnt working.

Where do you get Sainsburys and Somerfield vouchers from please? I hardly ever go to supermarkets so I'm a bit out of touch. I go about once a month and try to use two or three coupons.
