Anyone thought - Tesco might take points back from H & B packs

Now many people are taking advantage of the 50 extra points in the H&B packs, with most people scanning 6 vouchers in one shop.

Has anyone thought that MR T might not like this and decide to strip your points? And maybe go as far as asking for this Club card back

Might be quite painful with those with 000's of points

what do you think???

    Some people see the glass half full, others see the glass half empty - the enlightened are simply grateful to have a glass :)

    Yeah had some, but my points are in the hundreds. So if i was accused of using to many point vouchers it wouldn't affect me too much!

    These vouchers have been out a few times, so I would have thought if Tesco were affected that bad they wouldn't have brought them out again:confused:
    Mr T is not stupid, It's a risk he's willing to take to stop us going anywhere else;)
  • I agree, but I don't understand why they are available in certain areas but not others :confused:

    the main reason they are out in some shops and not out in others depends on how well run each shop is.

    ie.. the leaflets get delivered but don't go out
    1. warehouse is so congested that nobody can find them
    2. They get stored in the wrong area so nobody can find them
    3. They get stored in the correct area but their is nobody with the resonsibility to put them out.
    4. The person who normally puts them out is sick or on hols and nobody else is delegated to do so.
    5. Because they are not a permanent leaflet there is not an official spot for them so managers and staff don't notice that the leaflet holder is empty and organises them to get refilled.

    Essentially the bigger an organistation the more likely something in the operation will go wrong :)

    hope that gives you some idea

    I doubt it to, how many of us are there, and how many of us would kick up a stinka and go to the papers

    Adding to this that the H&B leaflets are ONLY delivered to Tesco Extra Stores.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I'm sure it dosen't say on the back of the coupon you can only use one set of vouchers once! -although it does say one per transaction but are we expected to read the back of every coupon we have if the cashiers just take them?

    Or the SA nicks them and sells them on Ebay:rolleyes:

    Seriously though, it is up to the cashier to take the correct number of coupons so if they accept them as employees of Tesco then not much Mr T can do IMO
  • Whats a H&B voucher? Thanks.
