Which mumplusone vouchers scan?

compmad1

Has anyone worked out which of these will scan? Not very good quality, and hoping to sneak some through at Tescos.

you can request a voucher book from them .... one per family, a pop up gives the details before you view the selected catagory of vouchers

Thanks I'll try that. I'd still like to know which ones that you print yourself will scan so that I can use them more than once.

There are two questions here:
1. Which M+1 vouchers are scannable at all?
2. Which do Tesco/Asda have in stock?

The answer to Q1 depends on all sorts of things- in particular the quality of the printer used. However, I've often made my own barcodes from freely available sites to ensure scannability.
The answer to Q2 again depends on stocking policies and the size of store etc. It would still be useful to know if it was stocked in your store.

Thanks. Can you tell me where you can get sites that allow you to make up your own bar codes? I didn't know you could do that.

To make your own barcodes try the free demo on https://www.barcodesinc.com/generator/barcode/
or any of the ones Google will list.
A word of warning though: do not be tempted to change the value from the original as that would be fraud.

I am not that good on computers to know how to do the barcodes. Thanks anyway.

Somebody put a posting a while back to say which vouchers that you printed off scanned the bar-code. I didn't make a note of it and the posting has disappeared. There were only 2 out of all the Mum Plus One vouchers. Anybody else found which ones will scan as a matter of course?

P.S. By scan I mean register on the scan machine/cash till at the supermarket i.e. Tesco.

All of my M+1 coupons scanned @ Tesco today-using the clearer demo barcodes referred to in my previous post.
