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.

i suspect that you could go into another tesco without any problems.

But I'm pretty sure alot of people are being a bit creative....or certainly have started helping out their elderly relatives an awful lot all of a sudden.

Ok, you may have been going sliiiightly ott with 5 shops a day but who's to say that Tesco's wouldn't think 1 shop a day more than 5 times a month is a bannable offence??

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, i would have given birth to a little brown onion

No NO Tesco is cheaper and apparantely will give you double the difference if it cheaper in asda

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?

seems to be the case yes. I think if you are staying within the £100 limit you should be fine, but if you read on here, you will know that they do tend to make "the rules" up as they go along. Personally I think I'll quit whilst I'm ahead, although I haven't been over the £100 anyway. I have started to do shops which included DTD and then unless you buy anything which is on offer at Tesco (don't) then those other items are usually the same price or n/a or n/f so it doesn't affect the voucher. Bit less suspicious that way. I have also done a couple of "offer" shops at Tesco and put the receipt knowing full well that Asda will be more expensive - but again, it makes it looks like I'm more genuine when I do get a voucher.

Does anyone know if the T metro on Market St Manchester works for DTD??

so sorry to hear this i was also working the same way with emails think i need to change but one other thing if i got asked what the email address was i wouldnt be able to say id have to act dumb

They wouldn't let me proceed without giving them the email address, and at that stage I didn't think anything of it (I knew which email address I had used - like I said the email pattern was easy to remember so I knew where I was up to lol) - had I not given them the email address potentially they could have said that the voucher wasn't mine and I was using under false pretences, dunno. They seem to be attempting to close all the loopholes though.

This has terrified me! I'm now wondering if I have the nerve to even spend my remaining vouchers let alone create new ones.:(

How come the value didn't match up to the voucher sent though? I don't understand that bit.

dont know why youre terrified.

someone got caught out thats all , just have your wits about you and they have to prove youre doing something unreasonable, the op gave them what they needed plus clubcard to track.
