Does anyone know if they are still taking other stores' conditional spend £5 off £30 vouchers etc? I have some double up cc wine vouchers to use sometime before xmas and want to use them to best effect

I've just remembered I've also £25 on Tesco giftcards that head office sent me by way of apology for my local 'extra' refusing my spend and save coupons :rotfl:

Evening everyone
Does anyone know if you actually buy the product, can you still use two coupons? Tia

No

A little while back there were a whole load of 'Archant' publishers coupons for specialist magazines that were worth about £2 off each time, but as it was obvious that Tesco didn't sell these mags in large quantities and therefore would not be reimbursed, most people decided not to use them.

Unfortunately not everyone thought the same way and some stores were hit quite badly by loads of these coupons. :eek:

Swannee_D and I suggested they be removed for that reason. But most of us on here knew we were onto a good thing and wouldn't abuse them anyway - i never used one. But for every one of us, there were hundreds of lurkers who wanted to make a fast buck & will have printed hundreds.

I know it won't be popular, but banning all internet coupons without the item, may be the only way to go.

Mind you, how long before 'real' coupons are copied? .

Some genuine non-internet coupons can look fake or printed too though.

I recently complained about a product to a manufacturer's Customer Services dept and they sent me the dodgiest looking coupon you've ever seen - looked completely fake as if knocked up on Word in 5 minutes. But it was still a real coupon.

I think a limit on the number used (say no more than 10 per transaction) may be the way to go. Easily enforced - and large enough so that Joe Public won't be affected when trying to use the odd 50p coupon here and there. (Like we all did before we discovered T's coupon policy)

says the bloke who said .......if it scans in T's I'm happy

techspec

Forgot to mention - my T's refused a coupon from the Tesco mag today, saying if it did not scan and new policy also stated that no non-scan coupons could be accepted. I had bought the item.

He then refused to give me the item back to take to customer service, so i went anyway and let them know what an idiot he was. They went to his till, got the item and took the coupon.

I am writing to T's though, and will threaten to leave unless compensated.

Ok , i'm leaving anyway - but they don't know that

Better cancel my direct debit for clubcard plus. I put £150 a month on.

with regards to the pedigree mocs...I'm sure some people were taking the pee with them but all tesco had to do was block them didn't they and that would have solved that problem. they've blocked other coupons in the past, like the mitchum £1 one last year and the £1.50 OK coupons so why not these ones too?
