Thanks cheeky little monkey, as newbie to this it always helpful to get others assistance. Is the CS open at that time, or do you need to come back later?

Now have my eye on a load of stuff due to end 05/11/06 will be ready for them.

I think they have it manned from around 7, or 8 in some stores. Do a scope of the store, locations of staff (see how near/far they are to updating the shelf where you have just found your misprice) and keep your eye on CS desk as you walk round, as soon as someone appears, go for the sting!

Just for me to get some kind of perspective on this, how often do others generally undertake the r&r policy, is it every week, month ?

How many times does it take for you to become a marked person!!!

I am aware that you are not undertaking anything illegal just holding them to their word, as per their website customer service policy, but I am sure that after the repeated use of the policy they are going to become less friendly with you surely?

How long did it take before you found the first r&r and how did it make you feel? I am still waiting for that 1st but will be far more vigilant in the future.

Is it possible to do this online, I have seen the Sony TV that has been mentioned on their website in the top ten listings at £799, but when you click on it it goes to the new price of £849, is it possible to carry out the same procedure online as it is in the shop?

SEL and Poster said £34.98

offer ended yesterday, scanned £44.98

Full R&R

excuse me for being thick, but i am working up to my first R&R.. anyways, how do you get R&R if the offer has ended? surely they'd say that the offer has now ended and the £44.98 price is right?

I really want to R&R a mobile as mine is knackered, but i'm too scared to!!

been to my local store today, but with little success, there were loads of items due to runout on the 31st so was up bright and early to bag some bargains. It would seem that my local mr T is very switched on, as I failed to find one.

Checked all electrical, dvd, video, home goods, meats and chrimbo special, absolute zip. Did find a misprice on some value chickens SEL 20p more than the items, but was charged the lower figure and had to forget my c/card.

I see a battle of wills and attrition beginning, our store had at least 4 going round with those hand held scanner gizmos while I was in the electrical section alone. Does anyone have some suggestion of when it is best to undertake the tour, I was in before 9am which was clearly already to late.

Their current enthusiasm won't last, you have my word on that.

I went to my local store last night and found that loads of the fresh meat had pack prices lower than the SELs, including price per Kg items. Found some fresh burgers with SEL £1.48 pack price £1.88 & was charged the lower SEL price.
The Cadbury chocolate multibuy discount still not working. Big yellow POS on shelf, yellow SELs for each, £1.35 each or 2 for £2.20. No dates on any of them in my local.
Bought Bubbly + Caramel R&R.
EDIT actually I persuaded OH to claim it, he was reluctant but successful. Said it made him sweat a bit in case C/S were difficult, which they weren't.

Thats a great spot Mikeywills, should mean that the tills are now scanning at the £799 price.

It is not possible to do R&R online.

It can take quite a while before they start to recognise you, but you have to be prepared to go into the store a different times of the day.

It is possible to do it everyday, you just have to be prepared to put the miles and effort in.

Read through the posts Mikey and you'll find that some have been less fortunate than others in becoming a 'marked person', some have been banned for nothing, just trying to claim the overcharge. I think they pick and choose depending on their mood/or particular duty managers attitude.

Tesco .dot com don't honour RnR's online, its just instore where this is applicable. HTH

Does that mean you got charged less than was stated on the pack price?

Yes, paid the lower SEL price, so no R&R
