  • I'm just curious as to anyone who has possibly purchased money off vouchers from eBay.I have read feedback which is recent and seems good from what iv read .

    I came come across this thread after purchasing 10x£5 off cola
    I was actually looking online to see if I could find the vouchers myself which I could not . Anyone purchased from eBay , did the vouchers work ?

    Thankyou in advance !!

    It's these blasted eBay scams with coupons/vouchers that are part of the reason there are so few around.
    A simple swap as Andreaat33 suggested is a good idea, but buying them, please don't. You probably won't be able to use them if they are pdf printables.
    I had to hunt a bit to find 500ml Coke Zero but Mr T had some, so I enjoyed my free bottle.
    Was pleased to find a copy of Daily M!rror at the local convenience store on Thursday after Mr T had sold out, to get the A!di coupons. These are really worth it.
    Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.
  • off to search for the Ts mags..my store refuse to accept the printed version :(

    I was in tesco's yesterday and they still had the previous ones out - so probably won't have them for a while.
    I always prefer printing them out and using them - seems like such a waste of magazines/paper to grab armfuls of tesco magazines just for a few coupons - maybe try saying that to your tescos and they might start accepting them.
    Not really comping any more as too ill - but hoping to win £1000+ in 2017 in cash prizes - watch this space!

    Can't see it listed or mentioned at the moment, so thought I'd tell you about the new promotion on Dr Oetker's Pizza Ristorante. They're offering seven coupons totalling £10 to spend on their pizza over the next year. Just buy the promotional packs, which they say have been on the shelves since the beginning of March and will be until the end of April, register online and print your SmartCoupons which are valid sequentially from May.

    ristorantenationsfavourite.co.uk/help

    There are No Restrictions on the number of codes you can enter

    The coupons are as follows :

    01/05/13 - 31/07/13 £1 Off Any Ristorante Pizza - Coupon value £1.00
    01/06/13 - 31/07/13 £1 Off Ristorante Pizza Funghi, Pollo, Pepperoni-Salame, Hawaii or Vegetale - Coupon value £1.00

    I'm thinking if I don't lose my flat stomach this year, I will next March!

    Apologies if this is already known about or I have the wrong thread. It's the first time I've possibly spotted anything before all of you, so thought I'd repay the favour. Hope it's of use. Thank you for all your hard work!:money:

    Has anyone printed these out in portrait? Do they print fine? I read somewhere that they're meant to be printed in landscape but they came out massive when I did that! I tried to reduce the size before I printed but I couldn't find anywhere to do this on google chrome. I've got a few more to print but don't think I've enough ink to print them so large.
    Thanks.

    I don't think you are supposed to make them bigger or smaller. A lot of the vouchers say they must be the original and not copied or modified in any way.
    Just saying in case this renders them invalid somehow.

    Have you printed any out? When you press to print them the print preview shows the paper in portrait and the vouchers seem to fit the paper just fine. However, you only get one opportunity to print them, so when I heard that they come out with one side missing when you print in portrait, but are fine in landscape, I printed in landscape. If they print fine in portrait then I will do that. It seems that's what they expect you to do, and it uses about half the ink as the other way, but does it actually work?

    If using Google Chrome and the option on print preview says to "Fit to Page" uncheck the box, this makes them smaller.

    I printed these out in portrait. The first one printed on A4 with lots of other info. Another page had 3 coupons on it and I can't remember about the others and can't check as have already cut them out. I am using IE so don't know if it will be different with chrome.

    They are fakes and possibly linked to larger scale organised fraud and other criminal activity. The companies where fake coupons have been produced for their products are investigating and trying to find who is actually producing these so please do not buy. Just because something scans does not mean it is legitimate. If you see them on eBay instead of buying report the listing to the company whose name is on the products. Don't bother reporting to eBay because despite a change in their TOS technically banning the sale of these-they really don't care (just as they don't care about sales of counterfeit baby carriers, strollers and car seats that are potentially lethal :( )
  • The parilo coupons are valid on any parioli products - so should work find on the pasta, spaghetti and other products - my tesco had problems getting the coupons to go through as well and just manually put them through as they could see no reason not too - in date, correct items etc..

    I agree Tracle1983. My local T does not allow more than 1 Parioli coupon per transaction. The till did not read more than one. No complaining cause you still get a free can of tomatoes, but I am just saying. Thanks!
    Balance recognizes that many good things in life are good only in moderation. When an interest, affection, or endeavor becomes utterly consuming, it doesn't allow room for other kinds of goodness. Coupon in moderation!
