Tried for R&R on the Motorola Phone but did not expect any success and so it proved. However there were some bonuses.

1. Spending was over £50 so got the £5p per litre of fuel. (60 litres = £3.00)
2. The 74 extra clubcard points (Worth £2.96 on clubcard deals)
3. An extra voucher printed off at the till giving me 300 clubcard points if I spent over £15 on fireworks. I had been intending to buy some anyway in the next week, so I promply went back into the store and bought 2 boxes of the evolution selection boxes £16.97 each but on BOGOF. and used the voucher for the 300 Points therefore total points 316 (Worth £12.64 on clubcard deals)

The savings add up to £18.60 - Cheap Fireworks!!!:rotfl:

You lucky git! i obviously bought my fireworks there too soon should have waited for a till spit. Love the Tesco points - so far a bathroom suite, £700 of laminate flooring, days out etc.

Oh, Asda stores can be just as bad when trying to wriggle out of a nationwide company policy. I have a letter from HO confirming that the £2 gift card is per item, not per transaction due to a store trying to wriggle out of it. HO also sent me a gift card with the remaining balance of what was owed to me by the store. That letter remains on me whenever I go to Asda just in case they try it again. Oh, remember Asda CSAs are told not to offer the gift card, but to give it only when requested by the customer.

Thanks for that I bought something that it was on offer in ASDA from 4.28 to 2 pounds so I thought great. I did 2 transactions (one in the morning) and one in the evening. It was only in the evening that I realized that they charged me the full amount. They refunded the difference and gave me a £2 gift card, but you said they have to give £2 gift card per item so it would be £10 pounds! cpuld you please advice.

It's the difference back and £2 per item you have been overcharged on.

Right at the very bottom of the page:

http://www.asda.co.uk/corp/customer_service/FAQs.htm

What happens if I am overcharged?
If you have been overcharged or undercharged in any of our stores we will gladly refund the difference (if you have been overcharged) and give you a £2 Gift voucher for each product you have been mischarged for.

HO have confirmed that it's per item, as I was overcharged on 4 of the same item and the store refused to give £8 on a gift card, stating it's one per transaction. HO sent me the remaining £6 and a letter confirming that it's per item and not per transaction.

You have failed to see the point... These SEL/old stock mistakes are pretty much all the meat R&R's, would you agree ?

Yes I agree with that point. I have said before it is beyond me why Tesco have not moved to "See product for price" accross the meat range. Then again a lot of what they do is beyond me.

From my own experience, I don't agree that other supermarkets are as bad as Tesco. On Monday I spent £97 in Morrisons, and a BOGOF didn't work on £4.80 worth of goods. CS apologised and refunded me £2.40. Not very good at sums, but I think this is a 2.5% overcharge on the total cost of my shopping basket.

Yesterday, spent £3.58 in Tesco, overcharged £1 on one item, therefore £1.51 refunded. This was a 39% overcharge. Or, to put it another way, I bought two things, one was wrongly charged for - a 50% error rate. Not good.

Without going into the endlessly boring world of statistics, the two samples are not comparable. With that logic your saying 50% of Tesco products are mispriced. Also take into account your previous knowledge of Tesco's mispricing and how to spot them, it even further corrupts the samples.

I still stand by the fact that if you did a true, unbiased sample of the big four over a period of time the results would be fairly similar + or - a few %. With the average large supermarket selling around 10,000 lines, having 10,000 price tickets correct on any given day is no mean feat. All the supermarkets have different systems for this and I guess each system has its own plus points and flaws. I'm still not defending or making excuses for mispricing though.

Sorry to dampen your day, but you do know that Buckeroo is currently going through at £1.74, right?
