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

I dont know if it helps at all...

I managed to use my 2 £44 vouchers (different shops, just happened to be the same value) and 1x £57 vouchers this evening. For some reason they tore off the code at the bottom of the receipt.

It is possible to mostly piece together this code if needed....

if you have a barcode scanner (such as on your phone) you can find the date, along with both the 3 digit number, and the last 4 digits.

This doesnt give the complete info, but I have noticed that if you made 2 consecutive purchases on the same checkout, only the very last digit should change. therefore if you do see your receipt being torn, you could quickly buy a stick of gum, and you would then be able to figure out the missing digits.

Of course they could very well refuse to accept the voucher, as they cant match the code, but possibly printing a copy of the double difference email (showing price breakdown) could be worth a try, or alternatively the code might be useful for getting a replacement receipt.

Evening all. Just gone in to check my DTD vouchers to print a couple off for shops over the weekend. I had one for £165 which has now been changed to £100. Damn shame for Tesco that they were too late!! I really enjoyed spending the FULL £165 last weekend. Loving my new clothes and make up etc. )))) x

Tesco wouldn't get their hands on MY receipt. They are not allowed to deface YOUR receipt, it is illegal! From what I understand you have to give them permission.

I appreciate and accept they scribble on a used DTD receipt but they definitely shouldn't be doing this to the new receipts!

Well what a day!

I have followed this thread in real time all day today, thank goodness I was at work so wasnt wasting my own time:rotfl:

I was expecting an £84 voucher today which got reduced to the £20 and then reinstated to its proper value after the MSE power got it changed.

This promotion ( if you can call it that ) has really been thought up by idiots, ill thought out, ill planned and delivered badly! which by my reckoning is just the way I like tesco promos!

I have done ok out of this, from an initial spend of £60, my return is in treble figures, not far off 4 figures really, nearly all spent now, using cash, no clubcard, different stores, different computers, maybe I can buy an extra freezer on DtD for the extra meat?

Ive been in the tesco game since 2006, and in response to the trolls, yes Ive played this current game to the max, maybe broken a couple of the T&Cs but then havent tesco tried to break more than a couple of their own T&Cs retrospectively?

I was there for R&R for my 9 free Xbox360's at £299.99 a time, plus 3 freezers groaning with meat, multiple mobile phones etc and sheds full of groceries etc. I still have enough health and beauty products for life!. All of which were obtained within the law and tesco's own "price promise"

I was there for the coupons, £11k of free groceries over 2 years, not bad I think. All of which were within the law and tesco's own coupon policy.

I am still there for the occasional DtD on tesco's own products, when they charge me more than the price on the shelf.

I am still there for the current farce, DtD with Asda.

Its a shame really as I have just bottled over 130 bottles of homemade blackberry wine, I now have 30 bottles of bought wine to drink while the other lot ages :rotfl: and I promised myself I wouldnt buy any wine from now on!

For those of you who have been here through all the above, do you know what would be the icing on the cake with regard this promotion?....... to find out that Kevin Kelly was the mastermind behind this promotion! Remember that name?

And to the trolls, yes I shop to the max, I do not break the law, but shop in such a way which has allowed me a new car for free, holidays for free, and enough racks of lamb in the freezer to rebuild a whole flock of sheep!

Tesco are well known for having a lot of staff ( not all ) who do not know policys and a lot of the time, its not their fault due to lack of time available or info not being cascaded down to them.

Competitor spend vouchers are an example, I have, on a number of occasions had to tell the till op to press the coupon button, then comp spend button, which brings up a list of acceptable vouchers and then they can input them.

There is a long running history of till supervisors and especially customer service staff who blantantly lie through their teeth to get out of following a policy which is printed in white ink on a big blue sign behind them!!

Loopholes are exactly that, they are there waiting to be shut down, just make hay while the sun shines.

Thanks to those that have contributed to this thread, with deals, info etc.

Now what to buy to get my next £20 voucher?

Dude, you're my new hero! Can I be your protege?
