New Tesco double up promo-what did you buy?

mandragora_2

I don't shop at Tesco's that much, and don't really have much of a use for the rewards offered in the 'normal' scheme, howvere, since they ran the last 'double-up' promo, I've been hoarding all my vouchers. We came back from a month away to find it was running again, but about to expire - so it was a dash down to the shop yesterday to exchange £55-worth of coupons for vouchers, and then a hour on-line last night buying enough t-shirts, pants and socks to see us all through till 2020, thanks to some great bargains in 'clearance!' ....

Annoyingly, I hadn't realised that there was a £100-limit on orders made this way till I tried to enter the last coupon, which was bounced back as 'not accepted'. As it'd taken me an hour to make the order up to that point, I lost the will to live and paid the final tenner with plastic, but I'll take it up with customer services when they open later - I'll try to reconfigure it so that I transfer £10-worth of spend onto a new order, so that I only need to shell out for the delivery charge, round about £3, rather than the tenner and be left with a voucher I can't use. It's a technical point that I certainly hadn't picked up in the t's and c's before I started.

EDIT; Have now spoken to lovely girl at customer services... nothing to do with £100-limit on voucher spend, I think - but a total nightmare now, because I completed the order using plastic, it is now 'completed' and can't be undone; if I cancel the order I only get £55-worth of value back, I can't add or remove anything from the order, a 'technical issue' stops them from sorting anything out. She has suggested creating a new order for at least £13.95 of goods, buying a second version of an item bought under my first order, then when it comes, returning the item as coming from the first order, and then the 'system' will reimburse me the £10.:question::question::question: I'm off for a lie down in a darkened room.

Afternoon all, quick q regarding these double up vouchers.
I'm intending to change mine tomorrow to buy some things instore, but the other day I received some money off coupons in the post; 10 pounds off when you spend 30 pounds or more.

So the question is, can I use this 10 pound off in addition to my double up vouchers?

Any help appreciated.

Hi, Yes you can use both. I did it on Sat with no problems - have to spend over £30 in total though

Does anyone know if you can use these vouchers on Ekectronics??

I'm after a netbook - and have £75 in vouchers, meaning £150 if doubled - near enough to buy a netbook whole!

No, it does not include items from the 'Electrical Department' - whether that's a TV, laptop, Iphone, etc.
The only electrical items, are those covered in the Home, Household goods section - e.g. toasters, kettles, microwaves, shavers and hairdryers etc.

I had a nightmare with this scheme. What a phaff. I will never shop at Tesco again because of this time-wasting, disorganised promotion.
