    Oh drop it will you. It's not the same, T&Cs are not the same as legal statutes. They're just not. Anyone can write whatever T&Cs they want, doesn't make them legally enforceable. Look at parking "penalties" which aren't worth the paper they're written on.

    so why do you feel one would be such a bad crime and fraud yet its the same as the other things your doing for personal gain??

    Okay had an experience tonight.

    Using my local store, I decided to buy the 1L of Smirnoff using a £20 Voucher from a cash £16 buy on Sunday. I had a few other items in the basket to push it up towards the £20 again. Anyway got to the til and first and foremost...you can get another litre for another £6...no thanks, just need the one bottle...everything gets scanned and then i produce the voucher. The woman didnt know what to do so over came the Supervisor/Mangager. You just need to doublecheck the numbers and then scan it in...well the numbers dont match (missing digit), so need to phone CS. 10 minutes later and I'm still waiting....is it worth it (I think to myself)...I get called over to the desk and am asked what my email address is...they have been asked to ask from the CS staff on the phone.....mmmmm, not heard this one....I thankfully remember for that particular receipt and tell them...they cant repeat is as such so I have to speak to CS and spell out the email address....everything checks out and hunky dory from them onwards...my local store now know that there may be a missing digit. So get to pay for the remainder of my shop and the Manager asks...how do you do this, although I probably are not allowed to do it? I tell her vaguely and mention the DTD, she says...yes it's our policy to give double the difference...then looks at my new receipt and says....you know, Smirnoff is £13 a bottle in Asda...is it I say...and I can see the coggs working in her head....I might need to get my son to look at this pricecheck site she says....I walk out...happy again.

    The morale of the story is this....please remember what email addresses you are using and remember to say the correct one if asked....as i had the sneaky feeling that I would have had my voucher declined if I got it wrong.

    your breaking the t+c using it more than once. your breaking the t+c using more than one..

    both knowingly bending the rules...

    try and justify it all you like but there both the same..

    I'm sorry but I disagree with that. If you re-use a voucher it's total fraud, It's like handing over a fake £20. The voucher has already been used for the allowed £20 on it and to use it again it's blatant fraud, as bad as shoplifting and it probably is a criminal offence.
    Recycling a voucher and knowing what to buy is exploiting a loophole a totally different issue, and definately not fraud.It's what savvy people do. As far as some people going over the limit with vouchers, good luck to them, this offer won't last long as T's are'nt stupid so make hay whilst the sun shines. I am certainly making the most of it and loving every minute as should everyone doing it, don't look a gift horse in the mouth!!:)
    Beware!!!! Glitching is addictive:rotfl:

    i've just been emailed a £10 off first shop voucher from tesco.

    can anyone with a brain help me, could i just do an online dtd shop AND get £10 off AND then put the receipt in for a voucher back or would it change the dtd amount????:think:
