Just for info I contacted Waitrose Head Office today with regard to using these vouchers, this was part of their reply:

Before accepting a coupon the cashier must check that:
it is in date
it contains a notice to the retailer explaining how
redemption is to be made
the coupon is for a general offer and not for one
restricted to specific retailers
if several coupons and/or voucher/s are required for one
offer they are all present
Cashiers may accept any quantity of coupons provided the
coupons are valid however most branches have taken the decision
to only accept 6 coupons per customer due to some mis-abuse .


Basically they cannot accept these vouchers because they are specific to Superdrug. If a cashier accepts them they may be reprimanded because the store cannot claim the money back, therefore they will be in debit on the overall profit.
As mentioned in my previous reply I used these vouchers last week and asked permission first. I was told no problem. The next time I used one the manager pointed out the Superdrug bit and it was refused. This is why I have clarified the point with head office. Hopefully to save any other users embarassment. Although it seems that the oppurtunity to purchase the cream @ Asda for £5.99 and use a single coupon is too good to miss! I still awaiting a reply from Asda to see if they accept store specific vouchers. I have not mentioned Superdrug to them, merely a generic enquiry.
I have noticed that sellers on ebay are even selling on these vouchers! I am all for earning money but not at others peoples exspense (be they retailers or not)or cost. Lets hope the seller is not a MSE member because it is my understanding this site is aimed at saving money, not making money by providing information and ideas to encourage individuals to sell items that are not even acceptable. It is surprising the amount of OLAY products for sale on ebay too!!

It's weird isn't it as I've been declined using them at ASDA. Waitrose accepted 2 about a week ago. AND Boots accepted one today against Olay Facial Wash - the coupon wasn't accepted by the scanner so the supervisor came over and authorised the SA to overide it manually!! :beer:

I managed to use two in Asda during my lucnh break. It scanned through ok but when it came to paying the till said 'Coupon limit exceeded call supervisor' or words like that.
It took forever for a supervisor to come and in the mean time the SA started reading the vouchers so I thought it would be curtains. :eek:
When the supervisor came the SA showed her my two Olay purchases and she overrode the till.
Don't think my heart can take that again:o

That happened to me today in Asda...got the coupon limit exceeded message, supervisor came over, showed her 2 Olay face wipes @ £2.00 each so she just overode it, too...they are cottoning on!

I have heard that Asda tills are programmed to accept a maximum of 10% in vouchers so I think that's why the till beeped. Cos we had purchased the goods the Supervisor let it go through - me thinks
