The old Tesco thread, now closed.

Well, I've just ordered my normal weeks shop using a voucher and the clubcard vouchers I used yesterday, the last time there was a problem with a voucher I used I received an e-mail from them before the stuff was delivered.

I've only ordered one thing that I wouldn't normally get so if I receive this e-mail or the voucher doesn't show up on delivery then I will cancel/reject the item (case of lager £9.98). I won't have lost anything then as I would have had to get all this stuff anyway and it's mostly value range products.

I totally agree with this, i also think people who use a £15 code to order £16 of goods is blatantly abusing the system too. It will only go on so long before the lot's stopped.

REMEMBER THE £10 OFF NO MIN SPEND?

IT WAS CANCELED BECAUSE PEOPLE ONLY HAVING TO PAY 10P AFTER DISCOUNT.

TOTAL ABUSE AND STUPID.

I WAS LUCKY AND GOT TO USE THE CODE ON MY NORMAL SHOP BUT MY FAMILY LOST OUT ON THERE SHOP DUE TO IDIOTS..............

If they decide not to let you use the codes, do they put the order through anyway? Just filled basket with £50 worth of stuff, applied one of the £15 codes which it shows as being taken off but then when I put my card details in, I made a mistake so the next screen showed the error but also then came up as "you have some evouchers that cannot be used with this order". I daren't put the credit card details in correctly now in case it just goes through and charges me the full amount. I wouldn't be shopping at tesco by choice if it wasn't for the discount so if it's going to charge me full amount I'd rather go to Asda.

YOU CAN ALWAY RING TESCO THE DAY BEFORE YOUR SHOPPING IS DUE TO BE DELIVERED AND CANCEL THE SHOPPING..

I HAVE DONE THAT BEFORE TELLING THEM I HAD AN APPIONTMENT THEY WAS A BIT PUSHY TO CHANGE THE DELIVERY TIME OR DATE, I JUST TOLD THEM I WOULD BE NEAR TESCO SO I WOULD CALL IN AND COLLECT THE THINGS I NEED.

NO MONEY WAS TAKEN.

Sorry to spoil your fun guys, but if you have used these codes and they don't work you now need to produce the original email/letter that they were sent out in.

If you can't no refund. :mad:

Just tried it myself with 2QQTVV6GCX2H it came up used too many times or something to that effect phoned up and they asked for original email. Looks like they have become wise to this site. :rolleyes:

I HAVE ORDERED AND USED XXMDQ4

IF THEY ASK FOR THE LETTER/E-MAIL, I WILL SAY E-MAIL DELETED AND LETTER SHREDDED..

IF THEY ARGUE WILL TELL THEM ''THEY CAN TAKE THE SHOPPING BACK'', AND USE THE OTHER STORES DELIVERY TO GET THE DISCOUNT.

TESCO DON'T LIKE TO THINK YOU WILL SHOP ELSE WHERE!!

the £15 off codes along with most of the others have a £50 minimum order so its unlikely that this will happen with the codes available at the moment.

However at the end of the day, its up to tesco to check, when orders go through if people are only just ordering over the £10 or £15 so that they are only paying a few pence or pounds above the amount, if the checks were done and they wanted to cancel the order im sure they would be within their rights to do this, people will always do this if they can get away with it, its human nature, the same with the boots and figleaves codes to name two others :rolleyes:

AGAIN whats the difference with person a spending 10p and you paying £** the code was for NO minimum value so could be used.. they have exactly the same right to use it as you.

so its ok for you to use a code if it wasnt meant for you then, thats not abusing the system?

Maybe no difference to you, but to the shop itself, there certainly is ... on £60 worth of shopping, the shop might actually make something, whereas with £17 worth of shopping they definitely wont.

I see your point but at the end of the day, thats up to tesco or any other store, if the offer is with no minimum spend required then people arnt actually doing anything wrong.

And lets face it, how many millions do tesco make in a year :rolleyes: are we gonna make that much of a dent in their profits
