    Finally got it to work by using Safari rather than Firefox and getting it to email me the link to use. Voucher printed. :D

    Yay! Got it to work when I used yatesybaby's link even though I think its the same as the one on the first post and that wouldn't work. Only got 1 though as after printing it made IE crash but still chuffed as I thought I'd end up missing this going live as I made my way home

    Voucher says 'coupons are unique and trackable-duplication will be detected'. Since they will surely be able to identify who each voucher has been issued to, I for one certainly wouldn't be photocopying or printing more than one out. It may not be detected at the till, but I wouldn't want the worry of a letter or call after misusing the coupon for the sake of a 50p bar of chocolate!

    I'm not going to cheat on this.

    But theoretically, how are they going to know who you are?

    You wouldn't get a letter or call.

    The worst that would happen is Couponstar disabling the coupon printer.

    That is highly unlikely as there simply isn't going to be a check on multiple use/ photocopies.

    I DO NOT CONDONE PHOTOCOPIES.

    For that to be true, Mr T would have to use a system at till where it recognised that a unique barcode on the voucher had already been used once, and consequently deny your photocopy/ treat it as invalid.

    Tesco does not use such a system.

    I can assure you they do, Tesco use a system called SafeCoupons.

    Then why didn't they use it for the Double the difference promo where they could have saved themselves hundreds of £ thousands?

    BTW my two choccy vouchers have different barcodes.

    No idea why they didn't use a better system for that. Every voucher code is unique on all couponstar vouchers, you can use another PC and get another 2 vouchers :-)
