Is the OK coupon still blocked at Tesco?

Yes it is :mad:

I bought the Daily Express because it says "Free £25 to spend at WH Smith this week". Inside the paper (page 26) you realise this means £5 each day if you spend £15. So you'd have to spend at least £75 and go in to the shop every day this week to get £25. I feel swindled. I know it's only 40p but I wouldn't have bought this paper normally.

I also looked at their 2 for 1 spa offer and the only venue near me is a hotel which is only offering 20% off a facial under this offer - not 2 for 1.

Not will they accept the nast traveller, the question is will it scan. Once again just so that the question is clear: will it scan? (My tesco has no problem with taking them if they scan, my store manager uses his discretion and has decided to take anything that scans if they sell it. Hence my question!)

Even if your store manager says its ok.. doesnt mean it actually is :P. Why dont you try it for yourself :P

What it means that he has decided for whatever reason to take the "hit" on behalf of his store to draw in the customers (like a loss leader?) and hence will not report it as abuse to the head office.
