If you ordered more than 100 resulting in +10000 CC points you would be likely to get you CC points deleted as it wasn't in the spirit of the promotion. Also trade deals aren't allowed so realistically no home user can use 100 ink cartridges making you a trader and out of luck on CC deals.
Next time think before you take the Michael even for self preservation

I would have used that many trust me - i go through 2 - 3 ink carteidges a week now - so it would have been 18 monts supply.

But i'll just chalk this one up to experience instead if risking my current points balance.

I would get a laser printer if I was you. Total up your ink usage and the number of pages you print a year. Cost it out and do the same for a B&W laser or Colour one dependant on usage. You might get a suprise. Yes laser toner is more expensive initially but nearly always works out cheaper long term

Interesting one, just rang them to check i wasn't being charged, they said it was cancelled. To this i asked why and why i wasn't notified and the lady said it would have been a problem with the payment.

To this i responded saying that there shouldn't have been a problem as the money is in my account and no other company has had any issues, and she has rebooked the delivery for tomorrow for me? Wait and see i guess!

I ordered some of each thinking not all would be in stock and it would be cheaper to buy a second hand printer after the fact as this would work out cheap if you had plenty of cartridges.

It is not really taking the Mickie - especially as most people probably would recycle them then sell on; to be honest at 1p it was irrelevant what you did with them as the 200 in points make up for that. And if TESCO do a deal ONLINE (which is a National sales campaign) they should fulfill it. This is not a local special but Multi millionaire Mr T's promotion to get people into store, etc?
