    we have self scan tills here in Worksop. They rarely say no to vouchers and take the Sainsbury vouchers from their magazine without quibbling!!!! ;D ;D ;D
    Nice to save.
  • I'm in Norfolk - its not one of the great big huge stores I don't remember when they brought them in as I wasn't that bothered about using them - until I realised the vocuhers would scan!
  • Altering barcodes = Wrong
    Cleaning up barcodes = OK

    Cashing in vouchers for products not bought = Wrong

    Using voucher multiple times = OK as long as not against T&C

    Using voucher printed from internet = OK

    It's the same as grabbing a stack of flyers and cutting out multiple coupons, the distribution is just different. The simplest is read the T&C and follow them.
  • Well I went into my local Tesco with some printed internet vouchers, one copy of each.

    I asked at Customer Services if they take internet coupons and was told a blanket "No". The store is Uckfield, East Sussex.

    So is it dependant on the manager's discretion? With other vouchers you can use 1 per shop even if you haven't bought the item.

    Hmmmm.......I'm sure i've read this type of question before just can't remember the answers.

    Has anybody tried scanning these vouchers in any Sainsburys stores, which allow you to self scan?
  • So where can we obtain these scannable vouchers from, please? :)
    Thanks to all who post constructively.

    Our Tesco do accept vouchers,even if the product hasnt been bought,although they do only say one voucher per item not purchased,the reason being is that they cannot claim the money back.But as a cashier who sits for 7 hours a day scanning everyones shopping,its not hard to switch off and not have a clue what the person has just bought and quite frankly sometimes we just dont care lol
