Tesco/Asda Pricechecker Thread - part 4

dtdsearcher

In response to the posts on here that I have missed and justr reading through, let me clarify a few things:-

1.) I am not a mole, I posted information to help people (ie to make sure that they are not using the same email pattern that I was using)

2.) I don't want to say exactly where the store is (just as I don't want to give the exact details of my email patterns) but lets just say it isn't far from Sheffield. If anyone wantd to PM who lives close by I will then disclose to them if I am happy from their previous posts that they are genuine.

3.) just for clarification my emails were input as follows:-

Day 1 - 5 shops using a particular email address (all the same)
Day 2 - 5 shops using a different email address (all the same)
Day 3 - and so on.

I was unlcuky that one of my vouchers on my day 2 shopping was for £16 (from my day 1 receipts), and on Day 3 when I tried to use a different voucher, the receipt showed a coupon for £16, which HO knew that hadn't issued to the email address that I submitted on day 2 (day 3's vouchers) - if that makes sense?

I'm happy to answer any questions to help people so they don't get caught out the same way.

I've just realised I've been panicking about not using my clubcard when I have spent £18.54 in vouchers this month:D I am going to use my clubcard for up to £100, then for anything over I'm sure I can persuade my non-dtd partner to take me shopping and let me use his clubcard. Sorted:)

How are they at Western Avenue in taking DTD vouchers?

Another person from Cardiff here....

Have used a few vouchers in Western Avenue and have had no problems.

I do believe dtdsearcher was posting a true story, and it is a warning to us all just to bit a bit careful. TBH a lot of us are doing more than 5 shops a month, and it doesn't hurt to be aware of potantial problems. However it would have been useful to know the county/area, even if the exact store couldn't be named.

*eta* Sorry I posted this before the OP'ers reply

Berbastrike - just one question. If you stick to £100 a month, how come you watch every post which in itself must be almost a full time job. Using the 10 receipts or £100 5 receipt limit means that on average, you will go shop every 3 or 6 days. To keep up with 3 days threads is approximately 300 pages or 12,000 threads taking the best part of 8 hours for a £10 profit (actually £5 in ASDA terms). This equates to a 70p per hour payback rate. The same payback rate applies for a 6 day, 5 receipts a month principle.

Either you are

a) blatantly lying about your spend; or
b) not manipulating the rules yourself, but making sure that in some way you're ensuring that you are getting more than a 70p per hour payrate in one way or another (e.g. sharing information with others for paybback/kickbacks etc); or
c) a further Tesco 'plant' that wishes to guide us all to stick to your (un)reasoned principles; or
d) a bit daft

Sooooooo........which one is it?

dtdsearcher, I am sorry this has happened to you. But I think you and any others abusing this must take some responsibilty for your actions. I am sticking to my £100 a month because this is honest and not breaking any rules. If you want to break rules, go ahead, but don't moan when you are caught.

Tonight I had a really nice older (60s) lady sa. She had never seen a voucher. She had never heard about vouchers. She had had no training on the vouchers and was delighted when told how they worked.
4 weeks in, unbelievable!!!

I had that today too. She even handed me back my receipt - unmarked.

Can we draw a line under this sort of posting please. If anyone wants to look up people's previous posts they have the ability to do so themselves, we don't need to produce a biography here.

im sorry but who are you to tell me what to do...people are now scared because of what dtdsearcher has said happened to her today,as a result many will now have a disturbed sleep,i have an open mind weather to believe it or not,i just dont understand why she wont say the area or store it happened,so some peoples minds can be put at rest,im trying to be the nice one here not stiring up trouble,so please dont try to tell me what to do as if you think im some sort of trouble maker
