    Tried to use mine in Warrington Tesco today, the till operator asked the supervisor and he rather offhandedly said they did not accept internet coupons and asked if they were photocopies!! The till operator said they kept changing their minds about internet coupons. Will try Morrisons later.
    try self service checkouts usually the person supervising will accept the coupon, most of the time they never check the small print because they're that busy sorting out the problems of the other tills :D

    I've printed about 10 of these vouchers & they've accepted them every time! I'm about to print some more off as the voucher is still logged in the print queue! Expires Sept 3rd cheers everyone :beer::D
    You do realise it is idiotic cheapskates like you that ruin this type of promotion for everyone else?

    ooh hark at her, listen it's the fault of diageo for not making the free can promotion watertight! I'm merely being enterprising & using initiative it's not my fault that they keep accepting my coupons is it?

    they need a price prompt but usually the person on the self service just asks for a price & hey presto it's accepted! I just got 2 more today 1 from Asda 1 from Tesco :beer:

    Very true, especially as the vouchers still scan even if you register once and choose to print 10+ or however many you want the first time (as i said in an earlier post what works). Therefore its not causing multiple registrations and gives someone else a chance.

    I wouldnt say your a cheapskate, id say your making the most of the loophole for a somewhat expensive product at its retail price for what it is. After all, these big companies can afford to cushion the blow as it will cost them next to nothing to make. I'm sure they wont lose any sleep about it.

    I really do think some people need to lighten up on here and come down off their high horse as i dont think they are 'squeaky clean' of doing everything by the book all their lives. Nothing illegal was done and it wasnt hurting anybody. Nuff said.
    4 years of entering competitions daily and not a thing won. What a fix.
  • Exactly right J-Man, I hate these posters who come on with this Houlier then though attitude you'd think I'd commited the worse crime in the world. I just think it was a little of the green eyed monster came out in that post & she was just gutted that she didn't have the foresight of doing the same! Oh well that's just the way the cookie crumbles eh?:D:beer:

    Two vouchers + two of us at the till = two free cans. Tesco in Swansea Marina, no problem!
    I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.

  • Got one from Sainsburys Cheadle Royal - had to ask supervisor and were a bit sketchy but ok - said they had trouble with people using any old voucher but this one looked ok as had name etc on
