Tesco vouchers (is this a scam?)

jus71_2

I emailed Tesco a few weeks ago and the customer service manager in Dundee rang yesterday to say he had been in touch with my local Tesco and they do take vouchers (even internet ones) if you havent bought the item. They can only be used for a maximum of 15% of the total bil which I think is good enough. He said a nearby store has stopped it altogether as it was getting abused.

Much better if people went in every day and used the odd one rather than getting a full trolley for free

I don't use coupons, just stating facts.

It is not the customer that commits any fraud, they offer the coupons as payment and Tesco accept. If Tesco then go on to redeem them with suppliers against the suppliers t&cs then its Tesco who you claim are committing fraud not the customer.

Suppliers have no idea if the person presenting the coupon is the person who bought the item. A problem will arise if this scheme gets over-abused - say tesco sell 20m of a product, they can only redeem 20m coupons with the supplier even if they have collected in 30m.

It seems MSE backfired this time,

Taken from the sun website, as i cant post links,

HUNDREDS of shoppers used DOG FOOD vouchers to get money off booze, clothes and TVs in a blunder that cost Tesco tens of thousands of pounds.

The makers of Pedigree Chum had offered coupons on the internet worth up to £6.89 each.
But customers at three stores found they could use them over and over again - on ANY items.
Word spread fast and hundreds hit the shops in West Bromwich, Willenhall and Dudley, West Midlands, on Thursday.
Claire Hampson, 40, said: "I heard it from my neighbour and printed off a few vouchers. The stores were rammed with people buying booze, bed linen, TVs, you name it.
"People were laughing and joking. We thought it was a genuine offer."
Tesco has launched an inquiry.

Where does it say that Martin had anything to do with it? I've searched but can't find anything.
