Hi people,

I was just wondering, how exactly does Martin Lewis find all the discount codes and deals every week?

Do companies submit there latest offers to moneysavingexpert or do moneysavingexpert scan the net?

How does it work?

cheers

Martin Lewis doesn't find anything. The users of this forum find things and he repeats them on TV, radio and in books and gets the
credit/money.

It's a good system, he provides a place where people can come and give/get advice, help etc. and in return he gets to use the info to make money.

Thank you for that. So if I posted current offers, from my online travel business, would that be acceptable?

And then does Martin pick the best bunch of discounts?

cheers

You can't advertise your own business in here, it's against the rules.

If it was allowed then everyone would do it and you would not be able to find info for all the advertising posts.

I've rung them before about this. They said between 8 and 9 pm and they turned up at half ten!!! was not a happy bunny, but i rang them and i think (it was a while ago) they refunded the delivery cost

My daughter says Asda will not accept these, as they are "internet" coupons. Anyone had any luck with another Asda, or any of the other supermarkets, please?

I used 9 at Asda Bideford on 17 June. They did check and double check them - but as I bought pizzas with the offer on I was going to show them what the offer was. The supervisor let them through

My local Mr T's didn't accept the online printed ones the other day (for Davidstow cheese - I wanted 2) so I had to go and grab 2 of the magazines and tear the vouchers out and give them those vouchers, which they then accepted. Utterly ridiculous if you ask me!

I agree - I did point out that I printed them off the PDF that Tesco had put online when it happened to me and could they explain why they put them there if they didnt want people to use them. They accepted them !

Well what an absolute saga i've had with the Pizza Ristorante promotional pack coupons. After the shenanigans I had with printing them off but finding part of the coupon was missing, I contacted them and they kindly gave me replacement codes to enter. I printed the first lot at 85% to hopefully ensure the whole coupon printed, which it did, the second set I printed at 90%, still ok. Third set I couldn't get to print the whole voucher despite messing around with the settings.

Moving on to actually trying to use the coupons that did print ok, the first one I tried to use in Asda wouldn't scan and the assistant tried to put the coupon through but was told the barcode was invalid so they would not accept it. I went back into my local Asda today to try a voucher from the second set I printed off (which scanned ok), only to be told they are not accepting these coupons, something about there being problems with them and Asda not being paid, hmmmm.

So i've now printed off pages of coupons which look to be useless, what a shambles!

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR some silly supervisor in tesco today said i had been using to many coupons the last few days (which i have used a mixed of clubcard magazine and printed ones) and said it was unfair to other customers that i was............... this was backed up by a manager
the vouchers i had today were a til rec £6 off £40, free coffee late printed, a 50p printed off soreen x2 the coors light free 4 pack. and some personal clubcard ones. about £12 all together.
so i left £123 worth of shopping all in bags at the til and emailed customer services, who emailed me with the coupon rules (which are on here) and said they would be sending me a gift card in the post!!!
so I have been back to my local tesco and spoken with the store manager and showed him the email, and has told me to ask for him if i have any problems in the future.
