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.

Sorry to hear about this, it seems a very HARSH line by Tesco. Don't they realise they will lose peoples customs for ever after this?

If you can't name the store, can you name the county at least? thanks

May i ask did u go into tthis store more than once a day? Also the respassing charge is an idol threat, per their t and c they can stop u using vouchers but shouldnt be able to ban u. I would avoid getting head office to check it off etc

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.

Although they might not have mentioned it, that is the way that they can say it was definitely you doing all those shops.

Sounds like your £2.49 up in cash terms down £4.98 in vouchers.
No big deal really.

I know matey was considering phoning the store so they increase the vodka price to ensure i get more vouchers on mon lol

To be honest reading the message about the lady who got caught in Tescos with vouchers and attained for 3 hours has worried me, and I have only done one dtd shop and not used the voucher yet. Surely if I just stick to the rules of £100 a month with one email address that is okay?

I am now guessing that all the vouchers are also one digit short like mine?

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!

To be fair I had definitely been 'creative' to get round the terms and conditions, and it is borderline deception in order to obtain monetary vouchers. So I'm happy enough with just being banned from Tesco as we all know Asda is cheaper anyway.

If you have not got your vouchers to day re-enter the detials again and again trust me it works I have jsut got all 4 of mine doing this. One took 5 times re-entering but just keep pressing back button re-enter etc. It will work


Arron

You are a little gem! I've tried it on my first missing one and it worked on the second re-submit! Will try the rest now. Thank you so much.

theres one way to find out if its an idle threat, thats by going to another store.

have they given the op any written warning with regard to this threat?

and what is the liklihood of the op image being sent nationwide and who is going to be doing the checking ?

Stick to the T&Cs and you should be fine.

One of my receipts was 1 digit short but it scanned fine with the SA at the till.
