* Tesco sign* Now taking Sainsbury coupons

Can anyone tell me where they get the £xx off £xx Sainsbury's coupons Tesco are advertising outside their store?

The sign says 'We are now accepting Sainsbury's coupons' with example of the vouchers. Do Sainsbury's mail these vouchers out?

    I get them in the post you need to look on their website and register for home shopping then they send them to you.

    Yeah Sainsburys have mailed them out to me. I always assumed it was cos I have a Nectar Card.
    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    This is interesting. I got accused of 'fraud' by some spotty herbert in my local T's the other day for using vouchers. I didn't want to get into a protracted discussion with him about the law as I didn't think he was up to it but he said 'we'll accept one voucher for something you've bought and one for something that you haven't bought and that's it'. So a little bit of fraud's ok. This reinforces that. And I don't want to get chippy about this but if another one of their robots accuses me of fraud again, i'll have them for slander. :mad:

  • Voucher use sure is a very challenging game. I've tried to let it brush off me if they suddenly refuse to accept one. If u can remain calm and simply try another cashier/store, all the better.
    I had the self-serve dragon ask me what coupon I had just used, she then opened up the whole machine, removed the coupon and handed it back to me. So I told her to start removing my shopping too.
  • The fact that your store has a sign up outside is irrelevant. Accepting these sainsbury's coupons has been Tesco's OFFICIAL policy for years!

    How do I use Sainsbury / Safeway / ASDA vouchers?
    We are currently accepting coupons for Sainsbury's and Safeway both in our stores and for on-line Grocery transactions. Just hand your coupons to your driver when your groceries are delivered. We'll credit your payment card back at the store and send you a receipt in the post. If you are in-store, just hand these to the cashier.
    - We can only accept Sainsbury's or Safeway branded coupons for money off your total transaction.
    - We cannot accept coupons valid only for specific products or departments.
    - We can only accept up to £15 worth of coupons for one delivery.
    - You must have met any requirements on the coupon, such as a minimum spend.
    - We can only accept them against grocery deliveries. We cannot accept them for deliveries from our warehouses.
    - We may refuse to accept coupons if they appear to be damaged, defaced, altered or copied.
    -We cannot accept coupons for purchases of tobacco or infant milk formulae.
    -Excludes ROI.

    I have been registered with online shopping for years and also have a nectar card - but have never been sent these vouchers. My mother in-law gets them and she only has a nectar card - has never been near a computer in her life, so I don't think whether you get them or not has anything to do with online shopping.

    Any other clues on how to get them would be appreciated though.

    I have had these before, but only when regularly shopping at Sainsburys instore. I have never used Sainsbury's Home delivery. I think they are connected to Nectar customer data - if you've got a Nectar card, are using it regularly and are never being sent anything maybe you opted out of receiving 'offers' when you signed up? I would phone Nectar and check.

    Now I don't shop very often at Sainsburys and have had none for a year. They only used to be sent out twice a year or so anyway I think.

    Sainsburys also sometimes send you a 'birthday pressie' coupon, to go and get a free cake/chocs instore. But you can use this coupon at Tesco to get the value (around a fiver) off your shopping, so don't chuck it away if you get one and don't want to buy the goodies mentioned.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Thanks all!! Informative posts :)

    I am with Nectar card, but rarely go to Sainsbury's. Will double check I'm signed up with their home delivery.

    Thanks again!

    I get them all the time, just get a Nectar card then use it at Sainsburys once or twice and thats it, i presume you will also have to have a Sainsburys close by as well or within a reasonable traveling distance ours was 14 miles away until they opened up one in town this year
