    The Doritos vouchers do scan in on the self-service tills in Tescos, it's easy to do and no sales assistants start scrutinising your integrity!
    2009 Wins = £833
    2010 Wins = £6,597
    2011 Wins = £7,083

    £2,012 in 2012 = £450/£2,012
    20 in 2012 = 4/20

    It must be that particular store. We redeemed two printed vouchers at our local Tesco on Friday night - maybe try a different supermarket?

    Thanks for the advice everyone. It looks like I'll be making a trip to the co-op today.
  • My local co-op doesnt accept the mcvities vouchers or any other internet printed vouchers, they have a copy of one behind the till with 'To All Staff Do Not Accept These' written in black marker pen across it, but as others have said, some co-ops dont seem to have a problem with it so I hope you manage to redeem yours ok x

    My Tescos dont allow so I used mine in Asda and Sainsburys. Rang Coop Head Office and they said they wont allow any internet printed ones.:mad:

    I didnt try in store after that. Shame as I saw the BOGOF offer and thought double Doritos!! Never mind Im on a diet anyway.

    Seems a bit hit and miss.

    Takes the shine off it if you end up having a barney with the staff if they refuse to take it.:p

    loads of vouchers were being put through self scanning tills sometimes just paper also there were loads of glitches leading to abuse also martin went on gmtv (i think) explaining how to get shopping very cheaply
    that day or the next tescos put out a statement saying they would stop vouchers/coupons

    i had a lot of trouble using mine in Morrisons the other day. Think it more to do with the SA though as she hadnt read it right, hadnt scanned it, took off only £1.49 off the bill and had posted it through the slot for coupons. The manager then had to be called to open the coupon thingy under the self scan tills to read it again and take another £1.49 off the bill.

    Used it absolutley fine in Asda though, dip and chips were £1 each but took £2.98 off the bill
