Tesco CS have said that prices are pulled from Asda website according to a few posts on this thread.

Just because their price checker isn't open to the public doesn't mean it's not working.

But we don't know what is included in the price checker and iwhether it is if it is NF or NA

I bought the mouthwash which was available on both websites, but whilst it was on the pricechecker it had changed to NA

We dont live near a Tesco, but I am going on a trip tomorrow and then a nice meal afterwards!

Quite excited - I love a bargain! :beer:

Hiya. I have been lurking for a long time but had to say a huge thankyou for this post. I'm absolutely hooked. So far I have done a £90.15 shop with £87.94 DTD voucher back and a £23.01 shop with £16.02 DTD voucher back. Just making up another shopping list Thanks again

Has anyone who did a shop yesterday evening had their voucher yet? I did mine at about 7.30pm and nothing received yet, but I know others that applied for their vouchers yesterday have received them...maybe its a time difference but would like some reassurance!

I did one yesterday at about 5pm and that has come through today! It was only for magners and baby wipes though so not a biggie¬

Re: the 'saving' of your shopping to another till.

I do note that the top of the receipt has the till number and transaction so if it fails on the pricechecker, I can always resubmit changing the number of till and transaction number (although i don't know which of the 4 digit blocks of numbers is the transaction number)

I did a £120 shop tonight and sa had never seen a dtd voucher before so "saved" my shop and sent me to customer service desk (on my own) to pay. I could have walked out with a trolley load of free shopping but I didn't. Does this mean my dtd claim will fail because of the till number?

PMSL so how do you think they update the 9000 prices on the checker now then some people in an office manually checking the Asda website??? Of course not. the checker now doesn't check bar codes it's working off of descriptions which is why you're getting silly NF's when Asda clearly do sell the item because it's vague and non-descript

Direct access to the database of course not BUT you can still run queries to pick out your 9000 items quite easily after all I can do it manually using their website and typing in a search so therefore quite easy to code the search yourself there are plenty of examples that do this already, one being the MSE one that checks/checked for cheap seats on the budget airlines it's not hard to do at all for someone with half a brain admitedly that's a little easier as searching dates etc but the basic principle is the same, don't forget you only have to match up items ONCE like your toilet trauma lol. You pick your 9000 items match the descriptions and unless Asda change the descriptions you're set, hell you could just bookmark the page for each item I don't suppose that changes too often. Like I say the descriptions only need matching once, if you wanted to the nasty way of doing so start ordering them and see what's delivered then match that up in your script. then in future all you need to do is test purchase a small % as a representative survey to see if descriptions are still accurate.

The methodology isn't too hard to come up with sitting here having drunk half a bottle of Hardy Crest LOL!! Not to mention the resources Tesco have to throw at doing this really not terribly hard

I think it's you who doesn't have any experience of how a database interacts with a website. Not to mention as someone who used to work for one of the big supermarkets doing pretty much this so hey ho :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Ah just seen your post then clarifying the point I never claimed it would be completely possible you will always have some kind of mismatch that's where a human follow up would come in you'd still have the vast majority done as a screen scraper and i'd venture to suggest theres far more that would easily be matched than not. Something being hard is no reason not to try or we'd still be sitting in caves without fire....

LOL - this post has been changed loads since I replied initially. You've rewritten practically all of the middle paragraph now.

I don't have experience of matching up databases with websites, but I do have experience of matching databases up with other databases - most importantly I fully understand the impact of getting it wrong, and I suspect Tesco do too! There is quite an unforgiving bunch on here, and if they dared to suggest a bottle of Baileys was £40 at Asda there would be uproar. I can understand them being 'careful' shall we say.

By the same token, I very much see your point. Another note of interest that totally supports your view, and was something I hadn't considered, is that on the Asda website that they have allocated each product a unique code which would of course make the automated process a whole lot easier.

The Tesco manual checking team could almost all be put on Job Seekers allowance (which would please the anti-Tesco people no end I am sure, because they would have a faster service) if Tesco simply formulated a table of their own product IDs against those of Asda. They could quality control, say, 1% a day. It would be good.

Still not sure a child could write it though, and still not sure that what I've quoted you as saying above is what will be in your post five pages ago when I hit 'Submit Reply'. :rotfl:
