Misprice policies

mikeywills

I am aware of the tesco misprice policy, but are there any other companies out there with similar terms.

Are there other supermarkets that do likewise, Asda, Sainsbury's etc.

Not sure if this is the right price to post this, but thought it might be ok as the misprice thread originates from here.

Sainsburys used to have the same policy as Tesco but this was years ago now I think. Now they just give the difference.

Asda will give you a £2 gift card but you usually have to ask for it (and I think it's for undercharges too?!). The details are confirmed on their website which apparently says that the £2 giftcard is PER PRODUCT so you should get more than one if you are overcharged on more than 1 item.

However, I have not found an Asda CS who knows this, you could print off the relevant bit from the Asda website and carry it with you if you are a regular shopper there.

I stick to Tesco. Got free Finest Belgian Chocolates today! :T

I noticed in my Tesco earlier that they had taken down the huge sign that had the 'And if things don't add up..' paragraph. They do still have a little one but I wonder if they're planning to change it.

I don't think so, although I think this was mentioned on the misprices discussion area when someone else noticed the same thing. There were other stores where they seem to have removed them from behind CS desk (a bit naughty as this is where some old dear may actually notice the policy when she needs it) but they have put them up in the entrance instead.

My local large Tesco is having a refit and large new signs, including the 'if it doesn't add up' bit, have been put up by the new entrance. At the mo the sign is still stuck near most tills and is still behind the CS desk, although I wonder if it won't be if and when they move the desk for the refit.

Even Express Tesco have the signs, small white A4 ones on the wall by the entrance or stuck on the door.

These signs are also near the electrical desk as well.

I've been in two Tescos. One of them had a big blue sign behind the CS desk, the other I had to look quite hard for after the CS rep only gave me a penny refund. I eventually found a very tiny sticker on the front door smaller than a credit card with the policy on(!), I went back to the desk and told her "I just noticed...".
