    I am getting so tired of these kinda posts...I'm not sticking up for Tesco but Asda isn't the cheapest for everyone and i wish people would stop saying Asda is always the cheapest and putting it on some pedestal...

    We are targeting the most expensive items deliberately here, none of the shops any of us on this thread have been doing are weekly or monthly "normal" shops....

    ok rant over...:o

    well thanks for rant but when have i put asda on a pedestal, nowhere have i mentioned asda being the cheapest, i was simply stating thats lots of other shops are cheaper. tbh i shop online with tesco every week finding the bargains and sticking to a budget

    i have only done one small shop for the dtd resulting in 32 quid voucher :cool:

    Well, just off the phone to cs and am :mad: this was the third time I had spoken to the girl, but it seems that the baileys I bought last thurs isn't gettin dtd although the one I did on weds is:cool: she said it was on the overall shop and not a weekly full shop. I told her it was only 5 items on my receipt but she said that overall shop is how its counted up and no one should get it. I was raging but had to bite my tongue incase I mentioned here;) Another thing she said that bottles of wine bought in groups of six aren't counted as there is already a deal on, that's when I coudln't bite my tongue anymore and said goodbye arrgghhh. What to do now???

    ****UPDATE - DTD****

    just went to use a £20 DTD voucher at a local store. i did another DTD shop (before you ask madmuppet5, i did buy a pack of lamb!) and bought some other bits 'n' bobs.

    SA at till got a senior supervisor; querying about the time difference (12/24 hour clock). the supervisor went to ring tesco HQ with regards to the time difference. i knew there'd be nothing wrong so wasn't worried.

    came back within 2 minutes, she apologised and put the voucher through. BUT, she said that the new policy is to sign both the old receipt and the new receipt! i questioned this, what if i wanted to return an item?

    her answer? she said you could return an item, no problem (they sign on the same line as the product). her reason for signing the new receipt was to prevent me using that again for a new DTD voucher.

    seems like a reasonable way to stop the recycling of DTD vouchers and receipts.

    this is obviously not nationwide atm, but as word/news/memos get sent to tesco employees, i can imagine most of you will be encountering this fairly soon.

    hth

    ****UPDATE - DTD****

    Hmm. I think I'd ask them to call head office, the receipt is your property once you have paid, i'd guess this is the brain wave of that particular store manager?

    Using a DTD voucher from a previous shop to pay for your next shop, then claiming DTD on that receipt. All totally above board and within the T&Cs, but Tesco seem to be changing the rules to suit themselves...
