I think the coupons don't scan EVEN if the product has been purchased as the barcode doesn't start with a 99... when this happened last time (I had purchased the product) I emailed their Cmr Services which r quite poor on replying back... needless to say no reply or acknowledgement was ever rec'd...:mad:

This happened to me when I first started couponing (although I don't know what the barcode began with). I had bought the product and packed it away but the SA was being difficult about the coupons I had. She tried this particular one (I think it was for a free smoothie) and said it wouldn't scan so she wouldn't take it. I asked if she was able to input it manually but she wouldn't. I said it was ok, unpacked my bag and gave her the bottle back, saying I would leave it:cool:. She then said she'd try it again and ... lo and behold .... it scanned!:rolleyes:

Huggies - casher scan the coupon but were unsuccessful and when the casher also typed in the barcode & it was not recognised.
Not happy bunny, wrote to oink, huggies & smartcoupon!

Got a reply from Oink today :-


Tim Andrews, Aug 11 10:28: Hi xxxxxx,
Thanks for your message. I am sorry you experienced a problem redeeming your SmartCoupon. It is unusual to have difficulties with coupons being accepted and so we're investigating this with the retailers to see if there is a system problem. One other possibility is that the code on the printed coupon could not be read clearly, so I'd also like to check this. Would it be possible to send me your coupon to the FREEPOST address below:
FAO Tim Andrews
FREEPOST RRYK-AKTC-RAJA,
Coinks,
Wymeswold Lodge,
Narrow Lane,
Wymeswold,
Loughborough
LE12 6SD
In the meantime, I will order you a replacement coupon which will be sent to you by post and should arrive in the next 10 days.
Thanks in anticipation of your help.
Kind regards,
Coinks/SmartCoupon Support

So, if your coupon does not scan, write to him & get him to send you a replacement coupon.

[QUOTE=Btw, I read somewhere maybe on here. That somebody bought farmfoods vouchers from ebay & swap it from other users on pts,etc.

Well, you dont have to buy the coupons on ebay. You can get it for free, I have requested & the reply I received is we have pop some vouchers in the post for you.

By Email:
[EMAIL="customerservices@farmfoods.co.uk"]customerservices@farmfoods.co.uk[/EMAIL][/QUOTE]

Just received a new batch of coupons from farmfoods valid until 31/10/09 by post today. If you dont get it via letterbox, why dont you write to the above email add & request a couple from them. They will be happy to send it out to you thinking that you will be spending at their store!:D

sorry im new to the whole coupon thing. where does everyone get theirs from, this list, another website or another section? I feel like im going round in circles and not sure how people find so many coupons relevant to what they are buying. Any advice would be appricated. Sorry if this has been asked before 42 pages is a lot to read through!

'coupons relevant to what they are buying' - what does that mean then?!

We don't generally use coupons that are relevant, we use them as cash against any shopping. That's what this thread is all about, see the first few posts which explain that you can do this in Tesco and Waitrose stores (only)!



Anyhoo, main places I get my mocs:

- Here on this thread - print them all, and the PDFs ad infinitum (until expiry)

- Magazines (see the magazine thread by MBN on this board)

- Newspapers (see the daily newspaper thread started by quoia, usually)

- Products like Nestle pikapaks, Finish Rinse Aid, Alpro Soya milk have mocs at the mo

- Sampling stalls in Supermarkets (Sainsburys is good if the mocs aren't store-specific)

- other roadshows & festivals (Alfresco roadshow is touring at the mo, then GFS in Nov)

- swapping coupons on www.paidtoshop.co.uk once you're an active member

- buying coupons on eBay (pay about a third, check they are in-date NSS originals)


HTH - regular couponers please add more places if I have forgotten any!

Thanks tescoisace...:D

I just remembered, I would also add to the list, registering with food product websites to receive emails - sometimes there's a moc emailed to you which isn't generally available on the website.

I look out for firms doing an advertising campaign at the time (i.e. anyone with an advert in Tesco or Sainsburys or other Supermarket mags, or with a current billboard, TV or newspaper ad, or anyone doing a sampling tour at the moment). Other ad campaigns often coincide with an emailed moc.
