Pincone research vouchers and self sevice tills.

Don't know if anyone else knows but you can use them like
ordinary vouchers at self service tills in Sainsburys. Use up to £2.50
in value then call over a member of staff to 'override it' and you can
use more :)

    Why shouldnt you be able to? They state Sainsburys, Tesco and Asda on the back so are perfectly legit to use?

    I used £40 in my last shop which did annoy the SA though :rotfl:

    following is extract from their FAQs page at http://www.pineconeresearch.co.uk/faq.asp -


    Do you recruit new members through your website or take referrals?
    Presently, we do not recruit new members through our website or take unsolicited referrals. However, we will be posting recruitment opportunities through banner ads on various websites from time to time throughout the year. If you see one of these ads, please feel free to sign up with us.


    Where can I find the PineCone banner ads?
    Unfortunately, there is no one site that I disclose to you. The banner ad placement is not fixed over the life of the campaign. The web sites that our banner ads may appear on are constantly changing during the course of the campaign.

    I've been saving mine for christmas, not really looking forward to handing over the booklets to a SA as they are £1s or 50ps - seams measly!
    Annual Grocery Budget £364.00/£1500
    Debt payments 2012 £433.27

    Sales assistants in Asda never seem to realise they can take these darn vouchers. Then the supervisor checks everything I've bought to see if I've bought any lunch type things.

    Had forgotten about McD's though... can treat my staff to milkshakes now :-)
