    Yes thats right. I bought 10 of the Oxygene for what I thought was a price of £10.00 each but was charged £14.50. So I got total DTD of £90.00 plus 5000 clubcard points.

    You were lucky to get away with that....£14.50 is the price for ladies and I believe £10 is the usual price for mens! :D

    In all stores i have visited benetton hot is correctly labelled at £13 - never seen it for £8, just the Cold at that price...

    Would love it to be £8!! :D
    Maybe try and get it scanned and see if it comes up as £8?

    Why don’t we put and end to all this squabbling and morality debate, and whether Martin should have advertised it or not.

    The fact is we are all on this MSE forum, and for that fact this ‘Quick, Grab it While You Can’ section for the same reason – to grab a bargain. We all subscribe to his e-mail to be notified of such things. We trawl the threads to find those elusive bargains and if we find one, we try to take advantage of it. That’s what this whole section and Martin’s e-mail is about.

    It’s a case of ‘you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours’ – by sharing the corporate knowledge of us all, we all find more bargains and ‘loopholes’ between us than if we operate alone.

    With over 16500 views on this particular thread, it was fairly evident that this was a very hot deal and was going to go quickly. If there were loads of the items around and everyone got a share, I don’t think anyone would have complained. But when people don’t get a share and see others arguably taking more than a fair share – well, would they have done the same given half the chance? Sour grapes perhaps?

    This same thing happens and the same moans and griping occur every time there is a ‘loophole’ exposed and people miss out. Let’s just be thankful for the website and the shared knowledge of the members and readership and fingers crossed that we can get in on the next deal.

    The Benetton Hot IS £13, the Benetton Cold IS £8. There is an SEL that says Hot or Cold £8 if you find Hot behind this label then it will scan at £13 and you will get DTD.

    Thanks to the regular MSE user who's posted on this perfume deal who was a Big help to me at the Tesco Edgbaston perfume section today! Sorry forgot your user name....
    There's loads of Lanvin Oxygene for men, Benetton Hot (£13) and Cold, both £8 on the shelves there.
    I converted £10 Clubcard vouchers to £20 fragrance voucher and got 2 Benetton Cold and 3 Brut deodorants. Paid £1.40 and got 1000 points back :)))))))) I'm so happy and thank you so much to all who posted info on this thread.

    this loophole wasnt really a loophole it was mr t giving points genrously we aint seen so many for a long while.

    In all honesty it was open to everyone for a week or so.... before martin posted it, alot of the time these 'martin' emails only have an effect of cloing said deal/loophole within half a day when its posted.

    I lioke his things on bank accounts but these point boosting is a tad annoying. I got a few of these perfumes so stashed up some points ;)

    This might be cheeky, but i am yet to have a tesco clubcard, but will sign up if it means i make profit. So what do i actually have to do to benefit from all of this?

    I have - everytime, thats my point, they are all £13 the hot ones... With just the cold @ £8.

    No probs though as this is one i would rather buy - the homme one.
