    Thank you. :) I always forget to check their stuff, but they've always got usb sticks and things which are handy (I know they aren't cheap for that size but they are different form the plain ones) I'd just like to point out that if anyone is wanting to go for a particular usb then they have a lot of them in packs of 5 for £2.99 rather than one for £2.99 if you scroll to the bottom
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine

    These are being given away free but I have just emailed Daily Mail to complain as they say they are for EVERY reader at ALL Tescos and all you need to do is take your voucher. We get our papers on a regualr order and when I took token to Tescos yesterday for the dvd preview, they told me they are only able to give them out if you actually buy the paper at Tescos.

    Are these Harry potter things being given away by the daily mail? :-)

    Yes Cherry apparently. Tho from the looks of things I won't be able to get them.. Am a HUGE HP fan tho.. :(

    All you need is a willing stockist and a token from the paper. Tescos apparently will only give you them if you buy a paper instore. This has been confirmed by the Daily Mail themselves which doesnt seem fair as a website seems to be making money from them. It doesnt cost £1.49 to send a paperthin light dvd.for example..Perhaps they should give more stock to the outlets meant to be giving them away. The other ones RSMccoll and Martins are as rare as hens teeth in all my trips all over the country I only ever saw these in Scotland.

    :-( ive had a problem with getting things like this before! The papers never want to help and the shops dont seem to like having to deal with these promotions!

    your right Reverbe it doesnt cost so much to post a dvd. :-(

    I wouldnt be surprised if this company producing the items deliberately limited the stock to Tescos etc to give away free so that they can sell them online for astronomical profit margins.

    This is the website supplying the newspaper & you can get them directly from the website for free & just pay P&P....that's why I listed it here...especially as it would cost me a good £5 of diesel to get to my nearest Tesco. So if you want to get them you can get them through this website. I hope this clears up the misunderstanding. This offer was emailed to me.
    :rolleyes:

    What nonsense, they aren't selling them online you are paying for postage and its hardly an astronomical profit when you factor in the costs of staff dealing with this promotion. Equally why would Tesco give them out if people bought the paper elsewhere although they were available to pick up at the CS desk in my local Tesco yesterday.

    Have to say, that this company takes months to post anything out when you have orderd from a newspaper and even then doesn't always get it right. With regard to not makin a profit. I disagree, take a look at the free micro sd card (£3.99p&p) and the free micro sd card reder (£2.49p&p). How can a card reader, heavier and larger than a mico sd card cost nearly half to post than the micro sd card. This is because the company are making a profit and a large one at that. Along with getting paid by the papers for the promos, they also con the public into thinking they are getting something for free and just paying postage when in fact your actually paying for the item within the p&p costs. 99% of the time the content that you find on these usb devices can be gained for free by downloading from the movies website direct or searching on the internet as all they are are an advertisment to the movie. Don't know if all this is legal but if not then trading standards should do something about it.

    I had the startrek and doctorwho promo ordered from 2 different newspapers paid 2 lots of p&p and then was sent out together in the same envelope. So was conned out of 1 lot of p&p!
    if i had known then what i know now
