    If people didn't abuse the scheme, then it wouldn't have happened.

    ALL of us on here are abusing this tesco promo; whether you're within the £100/month limit or not....

    ...we are actively seeking products that we know are cheaper at asda.

    simple really.

    Sorry, where in my post did I say not to do this? I said not to TALK about it. Big difference.

    a- Tesco have more important things to do

    b- The police certainly have more important things to do

    c- Your user name isn't exactly making things hard for them!! ;)

    I say Tesco found it EASY to make promises it still cannot keep.

    If the theory is that failure to deliver vouchers is cookie related - does that not fall apart for those of us like me that input details at home wednesday and then spent that voucher at lunchtime yesterday and input it at work?

    I agree - mine from Weds at work has not arrived & I am pretty sure I'm the only one at work who is doing this.
    I think I may need to shop every day for the next 3 months to get enough wine to last me for 6 months.

    Em, not unless I am too :o. Up to 1 year on coffee, soap powder/liquid fabric cond, dishwasher tablets and the toothpaste will probably outlast my teeth :rotfl:. 6 months on DS's shower gel and allergy tablets.

    Mr GG did his first DTD shop tonight & recycled a voucher for £20 very nicely. He was a bit disappointed not to get accused of fraud I think ;).

    Had a bit of a scary moment as I was leaving Mr T tonight - 2 Community Policemen were standing at the entrance and an SA went scuttling over to them as I went past :eek:. Think I got away with it though :rotfl:. Best get some L'Oreal then in a few days they won't recognise me on the CCTV :D

  • No worries - I understand now.

    I was trying to get to the bottom of the 'over the limit' e-mails people were getting the other day using some data that people had given towards the end of thread 3 at an unearthly hour last weekend when pretty much only me and Stebiz were online and one of the possibilities I thought of was that there were some tracking cookies as an outside guess but defo not their current tactic (and I think they would have to declare this under DPA rules on the T&C's if they did) but I was just clarifying the research I'd done had drawn a blank.

    In short, I reckon we're currently safe on that front and I still strongly believe the 'over the limit' e-mail kicks in when the first voucher to kick off any new set of spends combined with the total value of other spends is based on a £50 uncapped ASDA value.

    Sounds overly complicated but don't think the 'over the limit' issue has been as prevalent as it was earlier in the DTD days so probably a non-issue now.

    :)

    Sorry - yes I understood what you were saying but for you to have been saying it then it must have meant that there were inferences from other posters that this was the case and I was trying again to clarify another reason why it could not be IYSWIM

    I was trying to agree with you but obviously not in a very clear way - sorry

    If you ever got quizzed about different email addresses you could always say that you never received the email from Tescos on the first one so that's why you tried another account. HTH

    Ha ha u sound like me! I thought I drank too much till I came on here now I think it's the norm most people seem to be enjoying their alcohol every night-this I'd def the place to be! I've stocked up on the cheap wine (wolf blas!, turners , giossio ,fiano) but can't bear to touch it knowing how much ts sell it for so I've been drinking my blossom hill
