Heard a rumour this morning that they have stopped all coupons due to the manic behaviour of the last few days pending a meeting by the powers that be on the future of couponing! Anyone else heard this or know of whats happening?

Apparently there is a briefing flying around Tesco stores called a Team 5 or something. It states that from Monday they will only accept coupons if you buy the product. No ifs or buts. A few people I know across the country have seen signs up at the tills to state this too. Its meant to be a trial but not sure how long the trial will be for. Apparently its indirectly related to MSE Martins appearance on GMTV stating about using coupons without buying the product but Im not sure how much truth is in it.
We shall see what happens come Monday i suppose.

Husband of a friend has just been in and they have told him Sunday is the last date for using MOC's as cash.
Had to happen but still a shame :eek:

I wonder if this is going to be 'regional' rather than every store stopping it asap???

I have a contact who has marked my card over this change of policy. All down to a certain chap you may have heard of publicising the current (but changing) policy on national TV!

If true, we better all go out with a bang this weekend! .

Don't hang on to those Waitrose £5 vouchers this Saturday.
