    And one you of super fast fiends emptied my local before I got there...:cool:

    So am I right in thinking that you can only claim DD if you are overcharged.

    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. I then went to another store to return them as they did not mark the receipt. However I was told that I had been sold the Ladies fragrance and not the mens. She said we have the mens at £8.00 so I exchanged them and got £65.00 refund and kept the points. So 10 aftershaves worth £80.00 for free, £10.00 cashback and 5000 clubcard points. Good day!!

    Please tell me you also did Double the difference on these...

    You'd have got £100 back on the cold and £56 back on Oxygene as the SELs were so wrong


    No - DtD only works if you are charged more than the SEL, not less ;)

    Do you get 400 or 500 points on all these perfumes & aftershaves?:confused:

    The sels were very confusing in my Big T's

    Most of shelves were empty to start with, but those that were left either were reduced in price, OR had extra points. Not both.
    NONE of the self scanners working in store at all which didn't help a bit

    Thanks

    p.s Is Blue Grass any good ? Seemed to be only one left at £8 - again sel didn't say any extra points

    Yep you need to pay more than the sel and then you go to cs and explain their company policy to them.:rotfl:

    D'oh. You have a point! Can I claim 3 year old going crazy to play CBeebies next to me whilst reading the thread?

    None in any of my locals either...oh well.
