Friends Of Martin Map

Emmliss had the great idea (and found a interactive map website) to have a interactive map showing where all us DTDers are shopping!

Here's the link: http://www.zeemaps.com/tesco_dtd

To leave your mark - search on the map for the location of your tesco branch. If your branch isn't on there, follow instructions 1 to add it, if you branch is on there follow instructions 2.

Instructions 1
>At the top of the map screen, click the 'additions' tab
>Choose 'add marker - detailed'
> Enter the name of your tescos, eg 'tesco bangor'
>Click the blue writing saying 'map select location' then click on the map area where your tescos is - this will input the longitude & latitude into the relevant boxes.
>Click the detailed tab, and in the 'description' box enter 1- your MSE user name (or other alias id you prefer)
>Click submit

Instructions 2
>click on the red marker at your branch location.
>In the bubble that opens up, click on the tescos name in blue writing
>This will open a 'change entry' box, click on the 'details tab' and in the description box, type in the next number followed by your MSE user name (or another alias if you prefer)
>Click submit

Add your name to all the tesco shops you use


Hope this works ok!

Its one of the reasons I normally shop in Asda and will again once this promo is over

I am with you there! If it's taught me anything, it's that Tesco are more expensive than Asda, and that I'd much rather do my shopping at Morrison's. I spent a large dtd voucher on regular shopping and while 3 things were the same price as Asda, most things were at least a few pennies more expensive. I only missed out on another dtd voucher because I stocked up on cheap clearasil for DS as the half price offer cancelled the rest out. If that had been a normal shop (ie paid for by cold hard cash ) I'd have been very Peed off.

You can ask - but you will get people down on you like a ton of bricks!!! You must not re-use unmarked receipts unless you want to be accused of fraud etc.

That's because it IS fraud :eek:

:AYou can still enter the DTD details on the price check - add one to the last 4 digits as this is the sequence of the transaction for the DTD shop and then best guess how many minutes it would have taken the operator to process the DTD shop and add this on to the time.

You can have as many attempts as you like at the time as long as you have the transaction sequence right;) - I heard of someone who got a DTD voucher for someone else's shop before them by doing this. Let us know how you get on.:eek:

Now why on earth didn't I think of this - what a good idea! Thank you!!!:T I've tried it, adding 2 mins onto the transaction time and it was accepted, now to wait and see if I got the right transaction or someone else's altogether :rotfl:

Then she'll just have to keep her fingers crossed that she finds a SA who doesn't ask to see the receipt with the voucher :eek:

I know for this promotion we don't want them to tell us the BOGOF, but I think its a bit off that most don't tell you, I've been through many tills with 1 huggies wipes or 1 toothbrush and the receipt has a little star next to BOGOF items so the till recognises them but the SA's don't remind you. So ultimately they are glad if you forget and get ripped off by them. Its one of the reasons I normally shop in Asda and will again once this promo is over

On my receipts it's the things that VAT is paid on that have the asterisk. Not bogofs. eg socks, network cable, shower gel,fabric softener (just what's on the receipts beside me).

so thats what the* means i never knew that so if there is a * next to an itema does that mean its on special offer

Maybe it is a VAT thing, I thought it was the offers:o
