Tesco/Asda pricechecker finds here.......

Right, just off to catch up on 8 pages, but wanted to let you all know that I have just spent a £30 voucher no problem at all. The male SA took it, it scanned at the right value and she didn't even ask to SEE my old receipt! So the word hasn't filtered through to the shop floor yet.

p.s. I even managed to buy a few copies of Glamour with Clinique Moisture Surge and eye cream attached (I think the DTD vouchers are not valid on 'papershop' items ). Should have tried to sneak in a gift card too! I'll be making a beeline for him next time I'm in. I have about 7 DTD vouchers to use yet!

p.s. a poster PMed me to ask which Belfast stores I use, but I can't reply as my inbox is full now and I'm having probs deleting! So anyway, I've used Lisburn Road, Dunmurry, Tesco Metro (city centre) and Knockbreda. All fine! Avoid the older female SAs though, they are a nightmare. HTH.

Right just spoke to consumer direct who advised I ring Tesco again and say the terms and consitions I agreed to where yesterdays when I purchased the goods and entered the receipt and request they honour them! If not to send a registered letter with copy of receipt and email and give them an appropriate deadline to give me my voucher! She is going to inform trading standards!

Good for you! :T

I think we all say a big thank you to the people that made the complaints to Tesco customer services and elsewhere.

PEOPLE POWER - IT WORKS!!! :T

I can confirm this.

£20 limit now removed and I have just printed off my £66 and £70 vouchers.

Not so. The best advice in these situations is, as always, don't get mad, get even.

What is needed is a wave of complaints and negative publicity that will force Tesco to recant in a massive sea of embarrassment (never mind the little matter of the law, whereby they cannot alter Ts and Cs for those who have already done their shop.)

Contact your local Trading Standards, newspapers, your local radio station (they are ALWAYS looking for stories), your MP, the Advertising Standards Authority and kick up a stink. If you've stuck to the Ts and Cs and they haven't they haven't got a leg to stand on, no matter how many fancy lawyers they have got. This whole thing smacks of a panic decision by a junior moron at Head Office, they must know they can't get away with changing the terms retrospectively for those who have already shopped.

Stand firm everybody. How about a mass picket outside their Head Office? Or thousands of claims issued at the Small Claims Courts up and down the land? But seriously I do not think such measures will be necessary, they will have to recant for those who'd already done their shopping. I'm already guessing they may blame a "computer error!"


EDIT: Am I psychic or what??? Hooray! Glad for all who've got their vouchers, it's fair enough to change the terms going forwards, but they didn't have a leg to stand on applying this retrospectively.

I think what Tesco have done is very smart, they've waved a big finger at us and basically said "now don't take the p*ss, look what we can do if you abuse the system again", take it as a warning methinks, spend the vouchers quick, and plan for 4 - 5 small £20 trips per week, change is good, reform and re-evaluate

OMG, have just finished work - checked my emails before leaving and the 2 vouchers I hadn't printed had gone down to £20. Had a quick read of this thread, dashed home and lo and behold you have sorted it all out. Thanks so much everyone, I was driving home wondering how embarrassing it would be to return bottles of shampoo, biscuits and pots of beans to CS!

Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977

1977 CHAPTER 50

An Act to impose further limits on the extent to which under the law of England and Wales and Northern Ireland civil liability for breach of contract, of for negligence or other breach of duty, can be avoided by means of contract terms and otherwise, and under the law of Scotland civil liability can be avoided by means of contract terms.

Section: 3 Liability arising in contract.
(1)This section applies as between contracting parties where one of them deals as consumer or on the other’s written standard terms of business.
(2)As against that party, the other cannot by reference to any contract term—
(a)when himself in breach of contract, exclude or restrict any liability of his in respect of the breach; or
(b)claim to be entitled—
(i)to render a contractual performance substantially different from that which was reasonably expected of him, or
(ii)in respect of the whole or any part of his contractual obligation, to render no performance at all,
except in so far as (in any of the cases mentioned above in this subsection) the contract term satisfies the requirement of reasonableness.
Section11: The “reasonableness” test.
(3)In relation to a notice (not being a notice having contractual effect), the requirement of reasonableness under this Act is that it should be fair and reasonable to allow reliance on it, having regard to all the circumstances obtaining when the liability arose or (but for the notice) would have arisen.

(4)Where by reference to a contract term or notice a person seeks to restrict liability to a specified sum of money, and the question arises (under this or any other Act) whether the term or notice satisfies the requirement of reasonableness, regard shall be had in particular (but without prejudice to subsection (2) above in the case of contract terms) to—
(a)the resources which he could expect to be available to him for the purpose of meeting the liability should it arise; and
(b)how far it was open to him to cover himself by insurance.
(5)lt is for those claiming that a contract term or notice satisfies the requirement of reasonableness to show that it does.

I have posted some of this ACT to show that Tesco is adding Unfair Terms to the contract they have made with consumers already given a DTD voucher back over the new £20 limit. They should have the resources to honor the vouchers and can not unreasonably change all their term to their favour.
