As today tesco will not accept any coupons unless you buy the item

jb66

It has Just been announced from Tesco Head office that Tesco will no longer let you use coupons without buying the product. This is due to some stores getting well over £10,000 per day over the last few days.

To be honest I thought they'd crack down sooner but it was good while it lasted. All stores will be getting briefed as we speak.

I have never done the Tesco vouchers thing myself but i can almost see the backlash of angry msers who are going to blame others .

They still accept, asda, sainsburys, morrisons, boots and waitrose conditional spend coupons (i.e £5 off a £50 spend) but not farmfoods, iceland or any other retailer

A woman had £200 in a store I was in yesterday. Was Martin Lewis not on GMTV informing people about this? If so thats why this has stopped

do you mean £200 of vouchers for things not actually buying?
that's rather taking the mickey.
i didn't see GMTV but do you mean that M.L was informing people not to do it? or that he was suggesting to do it?

thanks for info anyway.
i only ever tried once, and it was a terrible failure. decided not worth it.

Yes, that GMTV has quite a few viewers keen to take moneysaving advice!

Feel free to PM me. My local T's carpark this afternoon was deserted of cars. Wonder if it was just a coincidence?:mad:

Wonder if they'll change their mind when turnover plummets in some stores? IE the stores that didn't have a problem with abuse.

why are they excluding farm foods?
This is disappointing, this is why i bypass my local asda. I've never done the not buying the product vouchers but always the other spend and save vouchers and farm foods.

Someone needs to point Martin Lewis in the direction of this thread, as it looks like his ramblings have contributed to the abuse & demise of the much loved Tesco coupon policy...

I think we`ve heard all this before. (Asda tried stopping it earlier this year)

If this is true it`ll all blow over when their takings are down.

As for someone trying to hand over £200 worth of coupons all at once,I`ll quote Victor Meldrew.
