I want to know the same thing. As I'm going of tomorrow to use my first voucher and I'm a bit nervous that it won't go smoothly.

Apparently you can use it, if it is under £10.

I used one the other day - but a SA still had to come over and press some 'magic' buttons - I congratulated him on how well the self serve tills work compared to Asda

Want more Kit Kats, already got some original and orange. Does anyone know if the mint ones have been confirmed. SS just says Milk/Dark/Orange/Caramel.

I notice the mint ones are £1.61 in tesco (others are £1.65), but all varieties £1 at asda.

Thanks

If under £9.99 they might, although I believe people on here have had to get CS to approve...

if over, then definitely no.

Thanks for that - seems to stack up with other info received on how it's working.

Stebiz - do you think it's worth me compiling a guide for inclusion on the first page of the thread???

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.


this would appear to be what has happened with me on the missing voucher

1st shop for April was 5/4/11.. shopped and paid using voucher (£18.38)

2nd shop 6/4/11...shopped and paid using voucher ect
so between 5/4 and 13/4 another 4 shops and the next one ( thurs) then puts me over the limit for the Asda ( £50 ) cap
ie the £50 asda and the 1st payment using the £18.38 voucher
total £68.38 and therefore over the £100 per month per household and no voucher on the friday ( the others one came through no problems just not this one )

does this make sense and help your theory
