Hopefully someone will reply before i go to bed

I'm going to tescos to try and capitalis on this R&R thing (its a small tescos, hopefully its unaware of the 360 pricing problem)

I was curious as to whether or not I have to actually pay for the item and return saying I was over priced, or can I refute it at the point of purchase

eg, say i bring the 360 up to te till with the game and the discount is not put through can I ask for the free xbox there and then, or will I have to purchase it and then return it (arguably the more risky of the 2)

I also think this should be mention on the front page of this topic as it is clear neither on this forum or in tescos

thanks

whatever you do DO NOT refute at point of purchase you will be on a loser.
You have to purchase it then you have been overcharged, if you alert them to it before you have paid you are stuffed!

thanks

whats the normal practice

if i pay for it and the guy only gives me a£20 discount should i say im not happy with that and get a refund

wont that look suspicious

The log is indeed the postcode , they ask that before your name... assuming they have your correct postcode

Forewarned is forearmed :rolleyes:

and its no good just making a postcode up, as they then ask you a house number, and if it doesnt tally, you immediately become a "suspect"........

although I dont suppose there's any legal obligation on your behalf to give details pertaining to your address.......so I suppose you could argue that they give your case the reference of say "John"......to enable it to be recalled.

I managed to say "I was on holiday, so didnt have a postcode"...last week, and still got the HO "blessing".............from the delightful Joanne.

Why would you make up a postcode when we all have knowledge of postcodes that do indeed exist, family,friends,work addys,previous addys etc...;)

Hi Mattmagoo.

re the normal practise: as every man,woman and their dog has done this, the price is cleverly disguised by Tesco by either,

option 1: a sheet of white paper

option 2: placed upside down

option 3: completely removed

option 4: I call the Constantine = in the skip b4 anyone gets a whiff

If you find either of these options, forearmed with all the various console and GOTW combinations on your shopping list, see if you can find one that matches, if in doubt..take it to CS and say you dont understand what is what and get them to scan the bundle for you, go out to car, have a cuppa and fag, go back in and say excuse me sir/madame but i think i have been over charged on that bundle u just scanned for me.then wait for the zilion excuses, see if they going to budge and give u rr, if not go out ring H/O and see what they say, i hear some peeps have HO number into the phones they rr'ed..best of luck

Exactly.........What i should have added is, if you dont give your own postcode....make sure you give a valid one, and you know the address details.....

Option 2 is best discovered by standing on your head


And by the way - if you are a non-smoker..... don't have a fag
