I dont know much about this but the Clubcard double up promotion ends 31st October so I dont think this will help Tescos sales coming up to Xmas!!!

I'm confused - I thought the double up stopped at the end of September (although you still get 3 months to redeem any coupons that you have already doubled up)!

Sorry I think I got hold of the wrong end of the stick whilst reading another thread.

All I've bought in Tesco since Friday afternoon is Domestos bleach - 12 bottles of it with 12 coupons. Cost me 40p a bottle as its on offer at 2 for £1.50 until tomorrow night. I was disappointed that nobody challenged me over the coupons - was looking forward to pointing out that I had the bloomin right stuff!

Off to France tomorrow for 10 days so that puts me halfway through my 4 week boycott.

I didn't mean YOU were odd!!! I just meant your way of 'speaking' sounded a little strange the first time I saw it! My DH is Cornish and I still can't understand half of what he says after 23 years with him - obviously takes me a long time to get my ears tuned in.

250,000 divided by 6.89 = 36, 284 coupons

I find that very very hard to believe!

good point BD but dont forget the other pedigree coupons;)[/QUOTE]
True - which i why I used the worst case scenario of everyone using the highest value coupon.

Dunno how big those 2 stores are, but still can't believe they received at least 36,000 pedigree coupons between them.

Coupon-mad

Someone on PTS posted that at least one of those stores had only recently started allowing the policy again, after previous serious coupon abuse. If they then got scammed again recently to that huge extent then my guess would be:

1. Maybe the guesstimate of 36,000 coupons (£250,000 rumour) covers the scam over a period of recent weeks?

and (as has been suggested already earlier in the thread)

2. If the staff 'didn't notice' or stop it over a period of days or weeks I would agree that there must have been an element of staff involvement (allegedly!).


This is just my opinion and it's the reason why I feel that Martin Lewis' article on GMTV was IMHO not the catalyst for the scam nor for the knee-jerk coupon ban. IMHO the timing was far too tight for such an organised and enormous fraud to have been hatched and carried out. It didn't all happen in one go on Thursday - I believe that evening was just the final straw.

If a footie team lost that much the Manager would be sacked. Even if the staff were not implicated, if I were Sir Terry I would have sacked the Managers in those stores on Friday. It would be interesting to see if the Management in these stores has suddenly changed (if any of the W Midlands posters on here still go in Tesco, that is?).
