ALL DTD'ERS PLEASE READ:-

A quick word of warning based on my experiences of today.

I went to do my first DTD shop today and the SA was checking the voucher as normal - had never seen one before and said one of the numbers didn't match (why Tesco haven't fixed this by now - god knows) so called over the supervisor. Fine. It was a supervisor I hadn't seen before so I wasn't worried. However, this SA had never seen one before and wouldn't accept it for the same reason (one number didn't match). Told her they are all like that and to check with HO if she wanted to. I went with her to customer services and she rang head office who confirmed to her that that was the way the vouchers came out - they then asked me to confirm my email address to verify it was my voucher before I could use it. Confirmed the email address I had 'created' to enter the details for this voucher (I made up a new email address each day for my set of vouchers - did 5 shops a day and this way never exceeded my £100 limit) He then said that the supervisor had advised him that there was a coupon payment on the receipt for a certain figure and I had told her that was a DTD voucher.

I was then taken through to the back to talk privately...........

So when I spoke to him again, the first thing that he said that that figure did not match any of the figures of the vouchers sent to the email address that I had given him, so he asked what email address the voucher I paid for my previous shopping had been generated from. Told him (and at this point we both realised that he knew the 'patttern' of the email addresses that I was using) - I won't say what the pattern is on here, but pretty basic.

He said that he was satisfied that I had deliberately made up email addresses in order to get round the terms and conditions of obtaining £100 per month, and it was obvious I had to be fair.

At that point he told me that I was barred from every Tesco in the country and that my image was on the CCTV and that the picture would be sent to every store, and if I went in any Tesco store again I would be tresspassing and that they would press charges against me.

I've gone over it pretty quickly here, but it was nearly 3 hours from when I entered the shop until I left, and I had my 2 year old with me.

Just be careful when input your email addresses for your vouchers, they are obviously tightening things up a bit, so my advice would be keep the vouchers on a cycle of the same email address (if that makes sense) - even if you have 4 or 5 email addresses on the go at once, try to keep your new voucher 'linked' to the previous voucher by email address to stop things like this happening again.

It was good while it lasted but my DTD days are over (even if the tresspassing charge was an idol threat, I don't want to risk it - wouldn't be worth it) so it's now down to my better half to be the DTD'er. Just means we will now get 4 DTD shops a week rather than 5 a day.


Hope this information hels some people.

Oh my goodnes DTDsearcher how awful for you. I can imagine how stressful it must have been , esp with your lo with you.
You'd think there would be some kind of warning before they straight to such drastic action!

With the pantene shampoo / conditioner, do I have to buy two shampoos or two conditioners, or can you mix and match (1 shampoo + 1 conditioner)?

That sign in the backround should read 'Helping you DTD every day'

Yeah, 2/2 of mine are missing today, despite having had them come through fine every day for over 2 weeks (I never get the emails but they always pop up when I re-enter details until today)

Same here, one missing, all been fine until today, hopefully just a backlog and they'll show for us all soon!

That's terrible!!

I always use the same email then when £100 is up I start all over again with a cash shop.

That seems like the best way but I was doing 5 shops a day, and entering those receipt numbers in as soon as I got home to do the same the next day. To put everyone at ease though this would suggest that they are not linking things by clubcard at all as I always used my clubcard and he never mentioned that once.

Oh no ! I always mix my vouchers up, now i will have to try to work them out. I also do more than one voucher in one go. If asked they are for a friend. Today i did 3 , 2 together and then put shopping in car and went back in for some baby wipes.

If they stopped me I normally have my 4 year old and 7 mths old with me. It would get very noisy !!!

Thankyou for your warning..
