Today received a few FF coupons through door. These are now changed a bit. Each brochure contains 4 sets of £2.50 and £5 off vouchers and each set is only valid for 1 week....

So the recent brochures has got the coupons valid untill 1st May, 8th May, 15th May and 22nd May......!!!!!!!

May issue of Marie Claire Mag has got 25p off Hovis Bread coupon valid on both white and brown bread.....

If we combine it with 2 for £1 Hovis at Farm Foods, it makes 2 Hovis for 75p OR even for 50p if you have got 2 coupons....;)!!!!!

I had a voucher dispute at the till at T's this morning ! My total spend came to £57 , as I'd bought two of the cds with 500 extra bonus points as well as my usual stuff.
I had been sent a £4 off a £30 spend Tesco voucher and I also had my husband's £6 off a £40 spend Tesco voucher. I had a FF £2-50 off £25 spend coupon also. Today I was told that I couldn't 'overlap' them (as I have done sucessfully in the past ) . I was told by the SA , who then called her till manager ,that officially I needed to spend the total of all the amounts added together , which would have been £95 . All the coupons were in date .
I wonder if this is correct ? Is it a new policy or is this a 'manager's discretion ' one ? Has anyone else come across this ?
Perhaps I've just been fortunate in the past . Back to Morrisons for me !!!

You've just been very fortunate in the past...most stores have always insisted on using 1 Conditional spend against the amount you have spent...so to use in multiples you have to add the amount allowed together...so 1 F/Food @ £5 for £50 spend or 1 @ £5 and 1 @ £2.50 for a £75 spend...
So for your shop today best way of using them was the £4 off £30 aand a £2,50 F/Food of £25...£6.50 off against £55 SPEND..

at any T I have used you cannot overlap the spend and save so you would indeed have had to spend the £95 - if i give a £5 farmfood and a £2.50 spend and save and the total comes to £74.99 I have to spend the extra penny (so to speak :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:) or not use the £2.50 which would be such a waste. I am often seen hurrying to get something small to make up the difference of a few pence or so

still playing catch up but are you saying that you enter the comp/win and then have to give your bank details :eek:

Or Credit Card details.:eek: They don't take any money from your account though because what you won and the p&p is free but I don't like giving details they don't need so I try to keep any damage they could do to me to a minimal and give them details for an account with very little in it. There are a lot of online companies that do that (take your details when they don't need them or store them), I think they try to make you think they are doing you a favour by storing your details so you don't have to enter them again when you go back to their site to buy something, which by the way who says you will go back to buy anything. We have a web hosting business but there is no way I would even dream of storing anyones bank or credit card details in our database, that is asking for trouble, and I certainly would not ask for details unless the person actually bought something!! Bully and others were very smart to check the company out.:T You can't be too careful folks!! Always make sure the page you enter any bank/credit card details on is secure. For those that don't know how to do that, there is a closed padlock in the lower right of the window the page is on and the URL in the address bar starts https (the s means it is secure).;) Stay safe folks!!;);)

This has always been the case in the 2 Tesco's I use conditional spend coupons in. I've never been able to overlap conditional spend coupons.

I have just looked at the ones I received this morning through the door. They are not valid a week, cos there is no valid from on them, so the last one can be used anytime from now until the 22nd May, so 6 weeks on that one and 3 weeks on the first etc.

You sound like me! Making a mad dash usually to the endcap with the candy on it as it is usually the closest with something cheap to bump the total spend just over the required spend to use the coupon!!:rotfl:

I won something worth £9, but it put me off having to put in my credit card details, so thought would wait and enter a few more times and use my card which don't use very often, so easier to notice if anything untoward happened.


I have never been able to use more than the cond spend coupon totalling the amount, so I think you have been lucky before.


Thanks for the coupon, love Greggs stuff. I am signed up to them but never seem to receive emails anymore.

I can now understand why they are asking but i worry enough about identity fraud and never use the internet to buy anything so would not give my c/card details just to win something. Those of you who are savvy about these things know how to check and what to check but i would always worry that I hadn't got it right so it's not worth it for my peace of mind but good luck to any of you who do enter those sort of comps for products or coupons:beer:and thank you for explaining things to me:A
