Not being funny but do you really think them not accepting coupons will have a big impact on their sales?

I really cant see it. Yeah there may be a vocal amount of people on this site but i just dont think there are that many people always taking vouchers for items they havent bought.

Good luck with what your doing but im afraid i cant see it being succesfull

I don't think it will have a BIG impact - but, even if its small it could still be significant to make them re-assess things.
I did a just over £40 Waitrose 'shop' last night and today, all I bought in Tesco was 4 bottles of Domestos (on offer at 2 for £1.50 and I used 4 x 35p coupons for Domestos so paid 40p per bottle). I even went out of my way to Asda to get my DH's magazine cos I didn't want to give Tesco the business (all of £1.70 - how sad am I?). I would normally go in again tomorrow and possibly Monday or Tuesday for milk, bread, fruit and veg and maybe a couple of goodies to put away for Christmas. It may only be £50/£60 but, by the end of the week Tesco will probably have lost around £90-£100 from me alone - and if 9 other people do the same my local store will be £1000 down. It will all add up if we stick to our boycott.

I'm still praying for Morrisons or Asda to start taking 5 coupons per shop - Tesco won't know whats hit them!

of course not accepting coupons will make a difference,
take me for an example, usual shop £80-£90 a week, coupons used £10-£15, now nothing spent by me at all, so tesco will lose out and I'm one of thousands

its a well known fact that Tesco's are more expensive than other supermarkets, they know this thats why their prices are inflated so much, that inflation is just about covered by the coupons i used, thus making them just about on a par with other supermarkets, now if i cant use coupons why would i shop there,inflated prices, food quality not good, service appalling, need i say more.

i was willing to overlook the downsides to shopping at tesco's but now i will not and so my custom will go to other stores who IMO offer a better service and don't make you feel like a beggar or thief for following their rules.

It was where T's wrongly priced their petrol on the pumps at 40p per litre.

Whoops!!

ouchy, i didn't even know about that!! might have been tempted by some cheap petrol if i did, my bloke spends £300 per month on it getting to and from his job :mad:

They may be more expensive but i make it back with the deals through the clubcard.

As i say, good luck but i cant see it having an impact of any relevance to them.

I do, however, think they will start to accept some coupons, probably just not internet ones.

Does anyone know if the self service tills have been ammended to know if you've bought the product ?

apparently all the coupons will still scan through the tills, but any coupons you use will be checked to make sure you have bought the product as all SAs are aware of the new policy now. tills won't be amended to check if you've bought the product iykwim.
