    Are people using real email addresses or just made up ones?

    I think you will find that it don't have to be a valid email address. It can be made up. Then after a day or 2 re-enter receipt details on tesco price check site and your voucher should be there ready to print. I would be careful not to use obvious ones like Joebloggs.com because that would've probably reached it's limit:rotfl:

    How much have your vouchers been for so far? Were any of them capped?

    This was my fifth claim for April. Not exceeded £100 for April anyway. There may have been a capped voucher where the total dtd may have exceeded £20 with very little. Did not think this was an issue. Why should it be?

    28/04/11 - A bad day for shoppers everywhere (Tesco shoppers that is!) RIP DTD :A
  • If you have a BT modem just unplug for 20 seconds and you get a new i.p. address.

    Thanks I'll try it now
  • OK, so I have done my cash shop and recycled my voucher 4 times on email address (1) and decide to switch to e-mail address (2)

    My last voucher I received on email address (1) and which I will recycle to kick off my shops on email address (2) is for exactly £10 cheaper at ASDA than Mr T so the voucher value is £20. Equally, the amount cheaper at ASDA could have been £15 but I would only get a voucher of £20 as it is capped - this does not mean the Mr T tracking software has had the code updated to that effect (remember a £20 cap was never anticipated in the original build of the software and people were getting vouchers for £150 and so on!).

    So, for the purposes of the example, my first voucher that will be recognised on e-mail address (2) is a coupon that was used for £20 indicating that I have had £20 DTD already (£10 cheaper at ASDA).

    The first time I get the benefit from email address (2) is on my shop, where it is £11 cheaper at ASDA but I get a £20 capped voucher. The running total of trackable vouchers is now £21 ASDA cheaper and £40 capped vouchers. This is my 1st shop on e-mail 2.

    I do this again and recycle the voucher and this time it is £10.50 cheaper at ASDA so I get another e-mail on (2) as a £20 capped voucher. The running total of trackable voucher is now £31.50 ASDA cheaper and £60 capped vouchers. This is my 2nd shop on e-mail 2.

    I do this another time, same result £10.50 cheaper at ASDA and I get another e-mail on (2) as a £20 capped voucher. The running total of trackable voucher is now £42.00 ASDA cheaper and £80 capped vouchers. This is only my 3rd shop on e-mail 2.

    I then do a 4th shop and put my receipt in. I think I'm well below my limit as I have only received £60 vouchers and even with this shop which was £9 ASDA cheaper and I anticipate a voucher for £18 I receive the dreaded e-mail. This is because the running total of trackable vouchers is now £51.00 ASDA cheaper and £98 capped vouchers.

    The crucial thing is the £51.00 ASDA cheaper, not the £98 capped vouchers!

    Longwinded but this is my opinion of what is happening.

    Sorry, I am not sure I am following. Can you give an example with the 1st and last voucher? Also, maybe I am missing something, but what do the Asda values have to do with it? And what Asda values? *Confused*
  • Found this in SS. Should read = £6.52 £3 £7.04 -£0.52

    Radox Handwash (different varieties) £6.52 £7.04 £7.04 -£0.52 0 Buy 4 for £6.52

    Should read = £6.52 £3 £7.04 -£0.52

    From Asda Site... not in anyway confirming this.

    Ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no lies
  • A new one every day


    Renew i.p. address too.... I am not paranoid mind you.
    But won't they link vouchers?
    I.e shop yesterday with email A, get voucher shop moreDTD then use receipt with email B. Surely mr T could link them up?
    Or am I being paranoid now? It's a pain keeping track of emails/ vouchers /receipt, would great if j didn't have too, just used diff email addresses once had 5 vouchers for £20....
    I love this site and all chums, but its making a dent in my bank account!!!

    Have lots of things I want, but dont necessarily need... Must DO BETTER!!! :A
