Thank you for your email regarding the recent changes to the Terms and Conditions of our Price Check scheme

The vast majority of our customers who use Price Check find that Tesco is cheaper than Asda. However a very small number of customers have used Price Check just to hunt down products which a competitor has on promotion and to make some money by using our guarantee. As a result we have introduced a cap on the amount you can redeem from the scheme, which is set at £20.

Whilst I appreciate your concerns over this amendment, I am pleased to say it will affect only a small number of customers, as fewer than one in 5,000 have been awarded vouchers over £20. Regrettably we had to set this to avoid manipulation of the scheme by a small number of people.

We introduced the cap yesterday but due to a technical error this was applied historically. We have now been able to resolve this problem, and any customer who submitted a price check before 12 Noon on the 24th March will have their full amount up to £100 honoured. Please be aware that any queries submitted after this time, and going forward, will be capped at £20. Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience this has caused you.

Thank you for bringing this matter to the attention of our Chief Executive’s Office.

Well I shopped at 12:44 and printed the T&C when I got back at 13:4* (last digit cut off my printer) which still state £100 cap so I'll be pretty peeved if I don't get it!

Well I complained because Tesco are not making it adequately clear in their material that there is a £20 cap - you have to search the small print. Many people would (say) buy 6 bottles of wine to save the 5% then be very angry to learn they had missed out on perhaps £40 of DTD thanks to that £20 clause being hidden away.

It is fast, free and easy to complain to the ASA.

• Misleading, harmful or offensive advertisements

• unwanted mail from companies sent either by post, e-mail, text message or fax
• data capture and protection of privacy

I suggest a complaint along the lines that Tesco are 'breaking the spirit of the promotion' :rotfl:

Just reading about the less than 1 in 5,000 claiming over £20. I thought there were more MSE's.
