Tesco vouchers in other people's name

I would feel strange if the codes were for someone who had passed on. it seems somehow disrespectful to be profiting.

I understand that you can use vouchers of the same postcode to you.

My Mum offered me a load of hers (for theme parks etc) and I called CS to see if that was OK. CS said that as my ol' girl was at a different address - I couldn't use them.

Give it a go....

Why not go online and order the deals you want to be sent to your mum's address using her vouchers? She could then hand them on to you. If - for instance - you want Legoland vouchers they are just normal admission vouchers and not specifically named or anything so your mum could pass them on to anyone.

Reply to OP, tahiti:
I would do your shopping, hand it over at the till, just say you've forgotten your clubcard but could he scan this please? (always choose a young male on the till if trying to see if vouchers will scan or not, don't set foot near a middle-aged lady!).

If it beeps ('computer says no') then just say, oh, I wondered if it would be OK, it's from an old Clubcard account that I have since merged with OH's/Mum's/Dog's (and just take it back). The cashier won't bat an eyelid as they are often asked to scan coupons and similar offers, some of which 'beep' because they are out-of-date or have a minimum spend, etc.

Good thinking. Thanks.

Normally I'd completely agree, but there's a story behind why I won't feel guilty in this instance. It refers to the people who really profited from the death (her offspring) being complete bas*ards, and racking up a ton of debt against the house when they didn't even live here. Long story!

It's your find, no matter how her family have behaved I still would feel badly, their wrong wouldn't make my right. Why not use it and put the £5.50 into a charity she would have approved of. If she went to any clubs, perhaps buy a box or two of biccys and hand them in.

Just what I would do but it's obviously entirely up to you

Having just bunged a fiver to The Samaritans about 20 mins back, you could say I've done just that :beer:

True. I didn't realise that they were simply normal admission vouchers until I had coughed up my Tesco vouchers for them. Def. will tap the ol' girl up next time.

Incidentally, when we went to Legoland we saw Little Mo from Eastenders. I thought I would share that.....:huh:

flufff

You know if they could they would probably laugh over this.Why wouldnt they mind you using them,not like they can and be a shame to waste them especially if money is tight.I would with a clear conscience.The previous occupier spent the money with tesco to get them so why let tesco profit?
