Can you tell me if these print as SafeCoupons please?

Our Tesco is very particular and only take those type of printed coupons.

Ta.

They are Smartcoupons. They print only once (check your printer first!) and are unique to you. They're not to be copied or altered in any way - there's a unique QR code in the other corner.
You shouldn't have a problem in Tesco - I redeemed 3 yesterday. The checkout lady wasn't sure, so got her supervisor, who pointed out that the codes were all different. I was ready to point out that the coupons came from boxes just like the ones I was buying yesterday (all 3 were the same promotional packs) but didn't have to.

I redeemed mine for Mozzarella and Speziale because you can't redeem against those next month.

Thank you. Morrisons is MUCH easier to get to than Tesco and it's cheaper for this too!

Pity because there isn't a Morrisons close to where I live. To get to the nearest one I need to take 2 buses, or a train and a bus.

On my pizza ristorante account, even though I've redeemed 15 sets of coupons (yes, FIFTEEN), all the coupons for the same period (e.g. the one starting 01/05/13) have the same code, no matter from which code I printed them with. I made another account to test my theory, and found that even a different account had the same barcode and scan code, meaning they're not as individual as you think :S

That's really interesting. I'm looking at next month's coupons (I haven't printed out any more for this yet )

The barcodes are all 9 919020 911009 (the scan value is the 3 digits before the last 9) and the QR codes all end in the same 8 digits ending in 201, but the first 15 digits are different for each batch. So for mine the QR code is different for each code I type in.

FIFTEEN redeemed - you're ahead of me. Three so far!

Just got back from Tesco and bought 12 Dr Oetker pizzas using coupons from 2 boxes. Paid £1.50 for 12 pizzas! and now have £120 worth of pizza coupons

Correct me if I'm wrong but surely you've misredeemed. If you bought two pizzas, you'll be able to print 7 coupons with each. This month you should only be able to use the coupon on the first page of each print out - the others aren't valid yet.

Arrghh just realised the valid from and to dates, I thought you could use them all at once :S

Nic.CJ,

My heart sank when I read what you'd done!

Do you mind me asking what you're going to do about it?

The coupons are trackable, which means Dr Oetker/Smartcoupon know where you live. They have your name and postcode on, which means Tesco do too. They're going to have them refused for redemption by Dr Oetker. When they find out their mistake, you might find that Tesco don't honour coupons from you anymore and that SmartCoupon won't issue them to your IP address/computer.

I'd be tempted to go in and admit your mistake to customer service - they'll admire your honesty. It's the checkout person's fault as much as yours. I can't believe they let you do it - I used 3 of this months together and the lady said she had to check with a supervisor. Because, it's frozen goods you won't be able to return them - or if you did they'd be binned.

You could ask for the 10 coupons you shouldn't have used back in return for paying the excess - that way you'll be able to use them down the line. It'd probably end up a complicated affair the customer service desk!

If they let you do this, look on the bright side you've got another 12 for this month/next month and 14 of every other coupon! How big's your freezer?!

It's still a very good offer, just not quite as good as you thought.

Whatever you do, I wish you luck
