Tesco misprices and discussion (Thread 12)

extendedpaul

Further to my earlier post I have just seen an advert for this promotion in Wednesday's Metro that does not refer to any restriction on what frozen food is purchased.

Either that advertisement is misleading in the extreme or I was "fobbed off" by customer services in my local Tesco (Gillingham Kent Extra).

I will go back in there tomorrow but it would be helpful if anyone who has received a 5p petrol coupon for buying frozen food can comment on this thread.

I received a 5p petrol voucher when shopping with my dad yesterday. We used the self service till and it printed automatically.

I'll explain this one carefully!
Was in my local store this afternoon and saw the offer had finished (but I have a feeling it does continue) on the Tesco Alkaline batteries that were mentioned earlier in the week. They were £3.60 for an 8 pack B1G2F. Good price whether the glitch worked or not!

Anyway:
I noticed that the Duracell ULTRA POWER AA batteries 4 pack had a label £4.47 with B1G1F offer. On closer inspection it stated £1.12 each which aroused my suspicions to an error! £1.12 must mean per pack me thinks as it cannot be per battery! Tried four packs and two offers kick in. B1G1F followed by B1GCF (Buy 1 Get Cheapest Free) which reduced total down to £4.47 for 4 packs!

Here's a complication:
There are packs which look exactly the same with 2 different barcodes.
First is 5 000394 002562 these are the £4.47 ones.
second is 5 000394 004016 these are the £4.50 ones.

At the B&r H1ll Tesco this glitch did not work on either barcode but back at my local store it works on both barcodes. Better to buy the £4.47 ones but quite honestly who cares about 3p when you get 16 batteries!

Good luck in your store as who knows whether it'll work!
Not tried the AAA size yet but they are in the same offer but a little cheaper which is why they have the B1GCF offer.

It's getting long and you all know how I like to keep things short, on topic and to the point! Remembering the label has £1.12 each on it may be the trigger of whether it works in your store or not! Cannot remember if it had that in the store where it didn't work. If however it does say £1.12 each and it doesn't work you may be able to press for DTD or at least honouring the £1.12 each.

Phew, hope that explains it fully and helps stock up on "top batteries for Chrimbo! Battery use by 2018.

Apologies if this has already been aired - newbie.

There's a promotion in Tesco offering a 5p per litre off petrol coupon if you spend £10 or more on frozen food. The poster does not make it clear that only the items pictured on it count. I went to customer service to complain when I didn't get my petrol coupon and the lady there admitted they had had lots of complaints. I returned my £10 worth of frozen food on principle (got a refund of almost £11 cos they ignored the multisaves!) and also completed a complaint form.

Very misleading IMO.

They just never learn do they!

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place.

Just been to Tescos and the guy before me brought a 4 slice toaster that scanned through at £3.00. I quickly managed to peek at what it looked like and i'm pretty sure it was this one:

I quickly paid and ran back to see if there was anymore, but no such luck.

Hope someone has better luck

I went into Tesco today with a copy of the newspaper advert re this frozen food promotion. Spoke to the duty manager who seemed genuinely concerned. She agreed there appeared to be no restrictions on what frozen food is purchased but could not say why their tills are not issuing vouchers- manager will take it up with Head Office and contact me on Monday.
