Just caught up with the `vent` thread, now- cannot believe the sheer viciousness of some of the comments towards us couponners. Why the heck do they go on there? The title makes it obvious as to the content. It`s quite an obscure thread, now, & after all, it`s for airing our thoughts, yet there are some `antis` on there that seem to be taking delight in being very unpleasant- beyond me to understand why, I think. We seem to have been portrayed as at the lower ends of the social scale, who need to get jobs- excuse me????? I have a job, as I suspect most other posters do too- check out this thread, guys, Mad, P.C, DomtheMon, etc, are doing a great job :beer: Thanks all.

I too have a job but thanks to discovering this site can now afford to work part time instead of slogging my guts out,all work and no play ain't any fun was there for years!!
A good bit of careful planning and plenty of leg work,by that I mean go to tesco(until this week of course) for cheapest there,morrisons,aldi etc.

Looks like the change in Tesco policy then is a permanent one! There is no mention of a 4 week review. Bad news indeed. Anyway, I have found that other stores are far cheaper than Tesco's, more friendlier staff than Tesco's, cleaner stores as well, and so I have decided that if Tesco's has changed it's policy against me, then I will change my policy against them by not spending my money in their stores - simple!

If there was a review of policy I'm afraid the CSA @ Dundee would not be in a position to mention this... can you just imagine? It'd be all over the internet...:eek: I personally believe the policy will, in someway, comeback in future (nothing very immediate) and will be at the Store's discretion... also when (and IF) this happens it'll be very, very low profile...

For those of you interested in the recent change to coupon policy at Tesco, please see below, Tesco's response to an email I sent ....

Thank you for your email,

First I would like to apologise for the delay in my response to your email. We usually try to respond within 24 to 48 hours, but at the moment we’re receiving more contacts than anticipated, which is why our replies are later than we would like.

I'm sorry to hear you are disappointed and dismayed that we no longer accept manufacturers coupons. I realise you are a loyal customer of ours and have always adhered to the coupons policy and there is no doubt in my mind that says otherwise. I hear from you that you've been so used to using these coupons as a method of payment for some time now and as a result of this new policy you are left feeling unhappy. In addition, you are now going to have to find additional funds as you are on a limited budget just like us all, due to the current financial climate. I know where you are coming from with this as I have a budget I have to adhere to each week!

I'd like to take this opportunity of giving you some information we have on this policy and this may help you understand why we've taken the decision to change this.

I can confirm that recent media articles informing our customers that internet and supplier coupons can be redeemed in large quantities at Tesco, even if they have not bought the product has led us to make the decision to only accept coupons for products purchased by our customers. This also complies with the Terms and Conditions written on each coupon. I'm pleased to say that we will continue to accept Competitor Conditional Spend Coupons as long as the minimum spend has been met, as well as Healthy Start and Luncheon Vouchers.

To let you know for future, I have copied in our Coupon Policy below:-

We'll happily accept your coupons if you've bought the product.

This includes Tesco and supplier coupons.

Unfortunately if you haven't bought the product we can't accept the coupon.

Customers can only use a coupon as payment if they have bought the product shown on the coupon.

Healthy Start Vouchers and Luncheon Vouchers can still be accepted as usual as well as non scanned coupons such as Saving Stamps, Gift Vouchers and Special Offer Promise Vouchers. Competitor Conditional Spend coupons can also still be accepted as long as the customer has spent the minimum amount shown on the coupon.

Also we do also accept Farmfood Vouchers.

Regrettably, it appears that this policy is permanent and has been in place since Friday 2nd October at 3pm as you've also stated in your email.

My intention is not to upset you any further but to try let you understand and have some additional information about this. I hope I have managed to supply this to you and I hope my reply doesn't bring you any disappointment. Thank you for taking the time and trouble to email me.

If you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact us at [EMAIL="customer.service@tesco.co.uk"]customer.service@tesco.co.uk[/EMAIL] quoting TES******.

Kind Regards


Gillian Adams
Customer Service Manager
Tesco Customer Service

Possibly reading too much into it as it might just be how the CSA @ Dundee writes but why 'it appears that this policy is permanent' and not '...the policy is permanent'...

The other day someone posted Asda Policy if you have been overcharged.. I have been searching the threads but cannot find the post.

I bought something today and think they charged me wrong, Hubby said the item was 4 for £1 and we were charged £1.50 .. so just wanted to know so if we check and we were right we know what to do..

Asda policy on overcharge is they give you the difference of the overcharge back (in your case would be 50p) + a £2 gift card (I suppose it's a way for them to apologise). This £2 gift card is, many times, not given unless one asks for it...;):D the CSA's seem to forget them very easily...:p:rolleyes: so, if you have been overcharged you should receive £2.50 back... HTH

No I'm stuck with my name as well. If you want to change it you have to go through a pile of red tape and contact moderaters, just as easy to live with it.
