Did you get a response to your query? where did you email>?

Hi,
I emailed Price Check first but didn't get a response so I emailed CS and had the 'your email has reached us & we'll be in touch' reply.
As soon as I hear from them I'll let you know:)

TESCO HAS HIT THE BBC!

Tesco forced to cap Price Check

Tesco said that fewer than one in 5,000 customers had claimed more than £20
Supermarket giant Tesco has been forced to put a cap on its offer to refund double the difference on products that can be bought for less at Asda.

After some customers found better deals at Asda and claimed money back through its Price Check offer, Tesco introduced a £20 maximum refund.

Tesco said refunds were paid to customers who used prices on promotions at Asda to compare with its own prices.

This was not the point, it said. Asda said Tesco should stand by its claim.

'Ingenuity'

Tesco said that fewer than one in 5,000 customers had claimed more than £20. The group told the BBC that 99.9% of customers would not be affected by the cap.

"The vast majority of our customers who use Price Check find that Tesco is cheaper than Asda," a spokesperson said.

"A very small number of people have used Price Check just to seek out products which a competitor has on promotion and to make some money out of our guarantee.

"We commend their ingenuity, but this isn't why we set up the guarantee."

A spokesperson for Asda told the BBC: "Customers aren't daft, so if you're going to make a big bold price claim, you'd better be able to back it up or they'll quickly find you out."

Ok, just thinking out loud here - I have a voucher still to spend that's almost £70. I understand that I should probably spend it soon, just to be on the safe side, but I REALLY don't need £70 of groceries at the moment, and can't think of anything non-food that I could do with either for that amount. A £70 shop is a pretty hefty one for me to be honest.

BUT if I was to spend that voucher on say clothing, then returned the clothing for a refund, they'd give me the amount back on to a Tesco gift/money card right? And with a gift/money card I could spend it in smaller increments couldn't I? So a £20 shop this week, then the other £50 next month for example? I think I'd rather have the money that way, plus I don't have to worry about it being accepted or not.

Ooo actually there's a thought, can I use a money card to buy fuel???!!!

Try ebay has anybody sold or listed a voucher on ebay
