Money off coupon 'chat' thread

Treacle1983

Is there anything to stop me photocopying coupons - as long as the small print on the coupon says nothing about not doing so?

For example - I have £2 mccain vouchers
They say:

dear customer: this voucher can be used as full or part payment for any mccain product. There are no restrictions on the number of vouchers which can be redeemed - subject to the retailers discretion - although no change can be given.

nothing about duplicate or photocopied vouchers

Has anyone been able to use the Cravendale free milk vouchers yet. None of the stores where I live seem to stock the one litre size.

afternoon all
Please may i ask how i could reduce the size of the pdf coupons on the printable forum, as they are on a a4 sheet and huge tia x

Before printing out the coupon - either change the page size or switch to page layout mode, that should reduce the size.

Not even worth going down that road! gets out naughty wagging finger. Due to the amount of fraudulent vouchers on ebay, places like asda and waitrose are compiling lists of these and people are being refused genuine vouchers as the supermarkets are not being reimbursed.

Naughty finger wagging at me for what reason though? It's genuine vouchers sent to me by mccains and doesn't say can't be copied.

Had a problem in Superdru& today with the Kleenex vouchers for make up wipes, cleansing wipes and shine sheets. They refused to take them initially because they accused me of photocopying them - my coupons are black and white and printed with a laser printer!
Then they refused under the grounds that they didnt deal with KimberlyClark - which is the company mentioned in the bottom right small print. In the end I gave up, left my items at the till and walked out.

I tried to email Safecoupons to let them know but their form wouldnt work. Is it worth emailing HQ Superdru&?

have downloaded it but am yet to use it...good idea - would love to hear from people who have!

I have it installed. It is not a discount as you have to pay for.the product and then scan the receipt and barcode. It can only be used in limited stores and on limited products. You earn cashback on only one of each product not multiples.

You cash out to paypal.

The customer service is great.

by the way Quidco is trialling the same sort of thing, it is currently in Beta mode. They have more products that you can claim cashback on. Worth checking your account to see if it is available to you.

Doesn't mean you can photocopy them. If they were issued to you genuinely they only expect you to use them once. If they wanted you to photocopy them they would tell you too so you can use multiples. Then when the supermarket is not getting reimbursed and refuse ALL coupons and none of us are able to use coupons to help save on shopping, you can be thankful to all those people who thought it was a great idea to do it!
