    Is this a new coupon or the current one? I have the current one saved but dare not use it cause of the ink :eek:

    It's the same one. Just that Inigo posted something before BT deleted it. Something to do with edited coupon all Inigo did was to change the colour from black background to white (no fill) but naughty BT won't let us have it.:(

    BT want us to waste our ink! BT is a non-carbon free footprint person

    sounds like they took coupon to outside source then inverted the colouring ( or what ever you call it)
    then reposted as an outside source link

    not original source/ altered hence being deleted

    but i missed it so maybe wrong

    yep I think thats what they did. But its good though if we can save on ink. I did not bother with the original pdf as its too much ink consumption.

    Ahh sorry to hear this, big ((((huggs)))) for you all Doc very sad but as you say at peace now:A Atleast you managed to get over before the christmas to see him which was good.

    Thanks for link Doc going to check them all out later today:beer:

    Just got back from S's list worked added one tin of the Heinz soup which are 50p in A's atm also just to make it nearer the £10 cut off result £9.74 brand match voucher so when go back later to pick DS up going to do identical shop this time using the voucher to pay for shop then producing another:D;):rotfl:

    Just opened post got my £20 M&S voucher from harvesting spuds:j
    Hi I need to do a targeted brand match shop to use a spend and save any tips on how to easily find items to buy other than trawling through mysupermarket?

    I could do with another 1 :rotfl: but not via Quidco as I have closed my a/c with them since they cheated me twice 1 on RAC & 1 on admiral insurance so I wrote them an email to tell them to get .....:cool:

    Am with TCB - will have a look at the website whether its similar or not. If yes, me shall get it & cancel my Asda cc instead as I hardly used it - only took it up b'cos of their 2p off a litre on fuel but not they changed it to 1p off not worth it - me go T & get more ppppppppppppppppps off a litre;) as well as collect clubcard using their credit card & fog key cc.

    I do both but find topcashback better so prefer to use them more but always check what each are offering. Doc just checking you only use their credit card to get extra points don't scan your clubcard before as you get half the points we lost out when they changed for a month thought we were getting the points as still paying with Tesco Credit Card but if you scanned your clubcard only half the points:mad:

    err... I always give them my clubcard 1st to scan then pay using their credit card. Did I do it wrong?


    Don't think I can do the other way round first - b'cos, they are saying that if I paid using credit card first the point already added to my credit card statement and I won't be getting additional points on my club card.

    Ignore what they telling you they are wrong :mad: we been told this several times. When shopping in the store I prefer to scan my clubcard then pay using Tesco CC doesn't actually matter what you do but makes a difference what account goes on ie both our clubcards joined to one account but we get a seperate statement for our credit card so most pts on our clubcard account are from store or promo Credit card statement generally for everything else but if you were to use it as a clubcard as well these points would be accounted for in the balance you wouldn't loose out.

    The important thing with the petrol is when they made all the changes to only 1pt instead of double and petrol changed as well you only carried on getting the same pts if you paid with their credit card other wise they halved we made the mistake of still scanning our clubcard then paying with CC noticed we getting the reduced amount rang them up and told you must only use the Credit Card to get extra have you got a recent receipt I spent £57.00 got 57pts on receipt then will get 28 for the credit card (we have the old card 2 for every £1) If I used the clubcard would only have got 28 + 28 not good at explaining myself so hopefuly you understand what me getting at.
