Buying Coupons

Posts: 2 Newbie
Hello,
I'm not sure if this post is allowed, please let me know if not.
I am able to dispose of newspaper and magazine coupons on quite a large scale, the problem is I cant buy enough as the shops all sell out. I've even tried ordering papers to no availal.
Reading through the threads people seem to only be able to cash in a few at Tesco's etc but are in the position to buy more than the quantity of papers they need. Is there anywhere where people would be willing to sell excess vouchers.
E.g. Todays Daily Mail has £2.60, paper price 45p, potential profit £2.15. I'm happy to split the profit.

Hi Nick,
I would guess the post is not allowed in that what you suggest involves swapping money and I understand there are rules against this on the forum for obvious reasons.
However to put that aside let us look at what you suggest. You say you can dispose of a number of coupons but can't get enough papers. Are you being serious mate?? Unless you live in the 'outback' surely you could go and buy 1000 papers today from different outlets with no questions asked?? and keep all the profit yourself. I know I would.
Why is it you can't get any?? Not being funny just trying to help.
Stebiz
and I should add 1000 papers with a coupon for the same mag?? in the same area would look highly suspicious in anyones language unless you are a manager in a local supermarket, which I guess would lose you your job for fraud.Ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no lies0 -
Can I add a further note to this. Ever thought of Ebay. Thousands of coupons on there too.
Regards

Are you are looking to submit the vouchers to the promoter for the reimbursement + handling fee ? I can't see how you could possibly dispose of high volumes of vouchers any other way. The voucher in the Mail also needs a name and address so you would inevitably have to make up names and addresses to pass them through. Don't think you'll get many offers to be honest.0

On a Large scale?
Do you have an enormous family or possibly you want to sell them on Ebay?
Scannable codes do sell on Ebay but they go for peanuts usually. definitely not worth splitting and reselling lolDistant fields will always look greener.
Yet, golden opportunities are all around you0 -
When I say large amounts I mean a few hundred. The problem is I work from 08:00 - 17:30 so I dont have the oppotunity to get papers. By the time I get home most of the local shops are closed and the supermarkets dont have much left, especially when there are decent vouchers in them. Weekends are fine but hardly anything appears in the weekend papers except The Star.
As per the name and address belive it or not they dont have to be filled in.
As per Suzy's post doesn't look like the board allows this anyhow. I'll have another look on eBay, to be honest when I've looked before its been things like Uncle Bens Rice which are not much use to me.
I have no intention of selling them back on eBay, to be honest if I'm willing to split the profit how would I make any money reselling them back on, especially when only a few hundred.0 -

Most newsagents open at around 5.30am also you can order papers and collect them whenever you like.
However, and I am not suggesting that this is what the O P intends to do, it is illegal to submit any voucher to the issuer for payment which has not been used for the purpose shown.Well I guess they may overlook the occasional Tesco bargainbut I think they would treat large numbers rather more seriously....
Whenever I'm caught between two evils, I take the one I've never tried......0
