Just emailed this to Tesco as they are making me too embarrassed to use their promotion! Will let you know the response.

Hi,
I feel the need to get in contact due to your recent promotion. I have used your price checker and had a few vouchers emailed to me for double the difference. However, each time I have used one I have been made to wait with a queue behind me while my voucher and receipt get passed around. Each time a supervisor then tells me it is not valid as the time doesn't match. The voucher clearly does not print in 24 hour format. This is very embarrassing as it it Tesco's promotion and the staff are unaware of what the voucher is and the problem with the time. I shop in Gateshead and am now too embarrassed to use my last voucher due to the attention it causes and time it wastes. Could managers please ensure staff have been briefed as there are ads for the promotion all over the store but I am being questioned like I am trying to defraud the shop. The shop that I have been using almost daily for 3 years and probably paying too much in judging by your price checker.
Thanks

I'm going to have a rant.

Why, oh why, are people getting huge shops and paying with £180 worth of vouchers?? It is against their policy and is bound to wind them up. Why not be happy with smaller DTD.

If you are left with a shop which doesn't accept your voucher, you deserve all you get. And if you then buy more DTD, then any eagle eye assistant will get you next time around. Some people always spoil it for others.

Afraid I must agree with Stebiz, although I do understand about getting carried away in your first shop!!

My strategy is to keep every DTD to just under £50 so if it is questioned there is no problem on your receipts. I personally have also decided not to try and price match by only taking one BOGOF as this does not feel right to me, although I am happy to milk wine overcharges!! I am not trying to preach but I know that only one BOGOF is against my morals (?!?!?!!!) particularly as I can not justify it on our budget.

I hope everyone does what is best for them and theirs, but can still keep within the vague spirit of the promotion so it will continue GL with your shops x

£180 shop to get £180 voucher seems madness when you can get a total of £100 in smaller vouchers with a £10 or £20 initial spend. I don't understand why people are spending so much money in Tesco to get something they could have got for a much smaller investment.
Could be that they can only get to the shop once or twice in a month but if it's local then it seems madness to spend more than you need to. We are all conditioned to think that the more we spend the more we save but in this case it's actually the opposite, the less we spend the more we profit.
Each to their own I guess.

I'm reading through this thread, and time and time again people are asking about returning individual items, raising questions with Tesco re vouchers over £100, getting massive vouchers way over £100 that are bound to attract attention etc etc.

Surely the best way to ensure this promotion keeps going for as long as possible is NOT to draw unnecessary attention to its flaws or make a nuisance of ourselves? As soon as Mr T withdrew the price checker there was always going to be an element of a gamble as to what would work, and I take the view that if I've done well overall on a shop then the odd packet of Mars bars or whatever that doesn't go through is just one of those things. The way I see it, the more people frankly take the Mickey, the sooner it will be pulled. Let's exercise a modicum of restraint - and yes I agree it can get addictive :rotfl:- and hopefully it will keep going for a while ?

:cool: I have to agree with all the above comments....

Someone also said that obviously they weren't enforcing the 100 limit. could this be because when they set the offer up they didn't expect anyone to go over it?
Tesco are not saying (by allowing it) that it is OK, I think as yet they don't know what to do about it!

If everyone keeps on going over the limit, that's the quickest way to get the offer quickly pulled!

Yes some people will do a BIG shop but a big monthly shop wouldn't be just all DTD items would it?
If anyone really has to do a big shop, split it up and pay 2 or 3 times so getting smaller vouchers - that way when you come to spend them you are not drawing attention to going over the £100 limit :):)

Maybe people are getting huge shops because like me they shop rarely but buy a lot. I bought a large shop from Tescos on Sunday, got home and inputted the details and was surprised to receive a voucher for £172

What should I do, not spend the voucher because I am "abusing" the system? Tesco gave me the large voucher despite their own £100 guidance

Remember they are giving back some of the money I spent because they are dearer, not because anything I am doing wrong. If the limit is £100 then why issue large vouchers

Lastly Tesco made £105 per second last year, do you really think this will make any noticeable dent in that

Tescos staff are not silly, there would have been an allowance for people playing the system but they know that this will be more than accounted for by people going into their stores and buying things they did not know they wanted as well as buying the wrong items

The number of times people have said "I must have bought the wrong wine - never mind" so Tesco have made a lot of money just from these deals

Just my opinion for what it's worth, we are all different and moaning on here will not change peoples attitude, it just is not worth it

I think the point that is being made though is that the Tesco Bean Counters back at HO will recognise the fact that their Ts & Cs are beng abused. They won't care of course that they are not abiding by the first of their own terms, but that's another debate.

Once they have recognised that their Ts & Cs are being abused they will probably work on a solution to the problem. This might mean that the Ts & Cs are reviewed so there are no longer limits (best case), it might be that all vouchers or vouchers over, say, £10 are posted to addresses so that the distribution can be monitored that way (sensible approach in my opinion).

Worst case scenario though is that the deal is pulled earlier than was intended. In that case, very few people win (not in the long term anyway) and that would be a shame.

Nah! did not twist me words. They should be respecting their customer but that is not the case with Tesco. Their floor staff does not know the meaning "friendly" so in order for me to get what I want - I am willing to make friends with the trolls:D

A bit of advice!!
Having got a bit carried away with my shopping, I ended up getting a voucher for £123-50, so was worried about being over the £100 limit.
I was quite prepared to accept just £100 if it was queried.
So I did my shopping and went to the checkout. The SA at the till was a bit confused by my voucher so she called over the supervisor. The supervisor looked at my voucher then looked at me and said "this isn't right, you can't possibly have a refund for this much" By this time other customers waiting nearby were listening in to this conversation and I was getting rather embarrassed:o
Fortunately I had printed off the price check list that comes before you print off the voucher, so I was able to show the surly supervisor that it was possible. Even so I was still made to go with her to customer services for the voucher to be checked again there and verified. So the problem wasn't that it was over £100, it was because they didn't think it was possible to get a refund for that amount!!
So the advice is, print off a copy of the price comparison that comes with your voucher

Thanks for the tip-off, I will certainly be doing this!!!!

Oh yes, they picked up the chardonnay and the DTD is on the cabernet-shiraz-merlot (which I bought). Thanks! :beer:
