    Hi guys,
    Popped into Tesco tonight and picked up a mobile for my wife.
    Sony K300i @59.95 but £25 off if you spend £25 in store.
    Discount didn't come off so got £50 back from the nice lady
    at CS. Even she couldn't make the discount work and it took
    a little while.
    Probably the nicest service I have ever had too. Very apologetic
    and extremely helpful. I felt guilty taking the money!
    Smashing little phone for a tenner.

    Quorn Simply Fillets Chicken Style 312g, Yellow SEL marked 2 for £3 (usually £1.95 each).

    When I got home I noticed the discount didn't come off so going back for my DTD in a bit.

    Edit: Got DTD of £5.40 on the 6 packs I bought. ;)

    Im a little thick on these things, even took a TV into the clothes section to get it scanned..

    Well, the phone..

    So i have to spend £25 in other things, then put the phone in the basket.? Pay for it, then the discount is not put on, then i get it for free.?

    How did it cost you £10..

    Tesco stopped doing Refund & Retain a while ago, it is now Double the Difference, so if £25 does not come off then CS should hand over £50.

    Exactly what Jane said!
    If you spend £25 or more on shopping you get £25 off the phone so ...
    Fill your basket with at least £25 worth of goods,
    Then get a K310i which costs £59.95 but you SHOULD now only pay £34.95,
    Pay for your shopping and phone,
    Go to CS desk who will give you double the difference back as you were overcharged. e.g. £25 overcharge = £50 back.
    Phone has therefore cost you £9.95 instead of £34.95.

    I nearly didn't get it as my wife queried the total at the till and asked me if it was right. I just said, yes - pay the girl!

    One day it might sink in!
