The old Tesco thread, now closed.

I have booked delivery slots with only a few pints of milk in my basket and have then gone back later and started to build my shopping list. Does this mean that as I have checked out with only a few pounds in my basket that they won't take one of my banked vouchers or is it based on what your end total is. For eg this weeks is about £80.

I hope Tesco are following this thread ... they may then realise how many customers they'll be losing:rolleyes:

Depends on whether they want to keep customers that only use them when they have a discount code that wasn't sent to them directly ... . I hope that they continue, as we have saved quite a bit with these vouchers with effectively free delivery and money off the order. We only really use Tescos for a few items as it is too far to go to the nearest store and Morrisons seems cheaper for what we buy.

It always comes as a nice surprise when the delivery arrives and you get the final total after the voucher and all the BOGOFs etc have been taken off :beer:- I always seem to forget that that the total on site is the full price before any reductions when filling my shopping basket to hit the minimum spend.

It's based on your total shopping basket, i.e. the amount you've spent when you've finished your shop and made your final submission prior to delivery. The ecoupon value might change as you "build up" your shop (depending on how many ecoupons you've got banked), i.e. £5 may be deducted when you've reached £50 but, if you continue to add goods to the value of £75 (or £100 as it's supposed to be now) or more and also have a £10 code banked, it may then apply this one.

Hope this makes sense

If the order has already been booked and paid for then the vouchers applied won't change if you change the value of your basket. If you've checked out with just a few pints of milk then I'm afraid you won't be able to use any vouchers for that shop.

also i had a code years ago but they were very strict at that time, the shopping had to total £50 in groceries, I usually buy cigarettes and nappies included in my deliveries and I do remember not qualifying as the total shop after these items were taken out was less than £50 so maybe they are starting to be more rigid with the rules

Shopping still has to total £50 to have a code applied, except in very rare circumstances where there's no minimum spend, or it might be a bit less.

My shopping arrived this morning and they haven't taken any of my banked vouchers off. My subtotal was £82.54 and after offers was £75.89. So I am now wondering whether the fact that I completed checkout with only a couple of pints of milk in my basket has meant that the shop didn't qualify. I am now thinking of cancelling my other orders that I have booked slots for as when you go back to add things you never get the checkout screen again. Am also wondering whether I should go in and pick one of the vouchers and input it as a single voucher and then delete it manually from the banked screen.

My 1st go at it bit of a failure & thats before i know the discount is succesful, 5-7pm slot today @ 5.30 find a "tried to del card" on door mat no time or contact Number on it, rang 10 min later customer serv says driver "knocked & rang bell 3 times" & next del slot Sat! H,mm
Now i`m going to pick up from store tomorrow ( as part of a scheduled trip to barbers) avoiding £5 re-del charge.

IMHO maybe not worth the effort for me besides the above mentioned still need store visit for petrol = clubcard points & wife prefers to select own fresh produce + meat & veg
