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?

I'm a bloke!!!

Yes, everyone will be fine if they aren't silly and careless like I was.

The vouchers have always been one digit short - god knows why Tesco's haven't trained their staff on this!

This is why playing within the rules is important - if we all take the mickey then the deal will be withdrawn. We should be looking at the long term picture

I never went in to any store more than once a day, and usually alternated my route so I didn't go in the same store 2 days running. It wasn't because they recognised me that it was flageed up, just that they didn't know how to use the vouchers.

sorry to hear what you went through today and thanks for the info regarding emails ..now put your feet up chill with a glass of wine and couple of magnums after the stressful day you have had x

If anyone does get anything remotely like the situation dtdsearcher has described, just refuse to go to the private backstore area with them. They cannot make you, so if you are worried just walk out. There is no legal power to detain someone short of arresting someone and a Tesco worker has no right to arrest you and therefore no right to detain you. If someone is making you accompany them, get your mobile out and threaten to call the police regarding wrongful arrest.
If you need to quote anything then powers of arrest are covered in the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE for short), and even police who have attempted to detain someone without first arresting them have been prosecuted as there is no lawful detention short of arrest.

Oh additionally, if you do attempt to leave and they try to stop you by putting their hand on your arm for example, that counts as unlawful detention.
Btw, I'm a law student :rotfl:

Nah, I just want to continue getting free stuff for longer than 1 month. If everyone is doing 5 shops a day, thats £100 a day, tesco will be withdrawing the offer
