Hi guys,

Not sure if anyone is interested in trying an R&R on this but "Innocence smoothies" are reduced to £1.97 according to large SEL but small SEL under the backberry and blueberry flavour says £2.25 (scans as this to).

I asked a lady stacking shelves if the BB/BB flavour was included and she said yes because the large SEL did not state which flavours were included and it was clearly a "smoothie". She then made sure the checkout girl put it through at the lower price.

Missed out on an R&R but still saved me 28p )

I tried that at my local tesco, and they said that it didn't count, as it clearly shows the sel. Didn't want to argue as I'd had the r&r for some burgers at the time, and it was my first time at it too...

Found tins of peanuts on bogof offer (some weeks back so no point in giving the full details now). The bogof didn't work so claimed an R&R.

Very nice C.S. lady asked for my C.C. (was still using it then, don't now) then refunded me nearly £6 in cash. I've just checked my C.C. statement only to find she refunded it there as well.

Forgive my ignorance, but I've looked through loads of this thread to find out what a golden r&r is, and all I can tell is that it's something to do with a credit card? Maybe where you get to keep the receipt and they don't mark it too?

I got a r&r the other day on Old el Paso Tortillas, they were half price but they went through at half a penny more than half price so got r&r. They got all confused when trying to give me 2 and a half pence back! I paid on my credit card so was wondering if there's anything else I can do to get more money back or something?

Its nothing to do with credit card. It is an invented term for when you get your refund and the reciept is not marked as such, allowing for a second refund upon returning the item. Does not work as well with food items as it does with non-food.

a golden r and r is paying something overpriced at tescos
getting your money back and keeping the product
then returning the product for your money back
so instead of the free product you have the money instead of the product

Thanks for the above two posts, understand now. Got a bit confused with people mentioning cc (thought it was credit card but maybe clubcard?)

I will admit to one or two golden r&rs, best one was ages ago, some of you will remember the leaflets with a wrong priced phone on. I cn't remember what the phone was now as when I went to collect it they didn't have any. I was asked did I want another phone and I said no (as I thought they would make me pay for it) and the cs phoned someone and then said can I have your card again, as she had already refunded the first payment, and refunded the amount of the phone again onto my card. I had a golden r&r without even seeing the item.

Heads up Tescos have slashed all christmas stock in price so there are no more christmas misprice box r&r potentials, such a shame!!!!

I suppose I will have to make do with the 4 bungee watches, 3 new drivers packs, 2 stationary sets, 6 paint by numbers, 2 crayola pen sets, 1 leg money box, and 3 brollies. At least it was good while it lasted.:D

Thank you sir tel;)
