Sent OH over to tesco extra more than 20mins drive away to change points for home deals so we could order a divan online saving us £90. He's had a wasted journey as he was told because half of the vouchers are in my name i have to be bloody present to change them! Not happy we are married have the same surname and didn't think at all there would be a problem after all either of us can change them online for deals. Bloomin mad :mad: as not only has he been gone more than an hour. I've now got to get myself and the baby dressed (who doesn't 'do' car travel) to waste another hour of my time! :mad:
I didn't think that there was any problem as long as it was the same surname? Before i go back and have a rant at the smug jobsworth is this right?

This is my first post so be gentle with me. Yesterday discovered tesco doubleup deal. I called reward center to check that TV were included and after checking with line manager I was told they were included in deal. I arrived at our extra store and tried to purchase said TV and was told by sales assistant and stock manager that they were excluded items and not in deal. I was livid and I later rang rewards again only to be told that I was given correct info and to get store manager to ring up the store support center. well this went down like a lead balloon, still not allowed to purchase TV. well 11 phone calls and 2 visits later still no joy. HAS ANYONE GOT ANY IDEAS OF WHAT ELSE I CAN DO:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

No consistency! Both my husband and myself names were on ours and I didn't have any problem exchanging them. Suggest you ask to see the manager, request to see it in writing where it states both partners must be present, and also ask if you were just cashing them in at any other time for normal shopping would you both need to be present. Then complain in writing.

Please post what you were able to buy with your vouchers and whether instore or online.

A separate thread will be started for those unable to get what they wanted.

I thought I should post up what I used mine for!

£85 in CC vouchers doubled to £170 almost got me two pairs of Sienna dining chairs which are half price in the clearance at £92.50 a pair. Total cost to me including delivery was a princely £20, for chairs which would have cost £370 not many weeks ago.

Vouchers changed in store and the instore Tesco Direct desk put all the codes etc. in for me:T.

A word of caution; if you do this make sure the CSA gives you online vouchers, not instore ones that don't have the codes on. Also the CSA doing the double up can only input and exchange up to 6 Clubcard vouchers at each attempt, with the total of those adding up to an amount higher than £5 and ending with a 5 or 0 (£5, £10, £15 etc.). So a bit of thought needed on both sides.
