From "DRIVEL 5" - If CW ever resurfaces

These were all dated 29/12/11 ?

Did you get something like the following ?

Tesco +£2.01
Sainsbury's +£1.24
Morrisons N/A*
Waitrose +£8.06

and then at the bottom ....

* Unfortunately your shopping can’t be compared with Morrisons as the prices that have been collected are now over 7 days old. You can review our Terms & Conditions for more details. Also see our Questions & Answers section.

Only I've just checked the 1st of mine from yesterday and I'm not sure if I'm going to do the rest for the moment.

THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME

I had this on a receipt dated 2nd Nov that I checked on 3rd Nov - couldn't check against Morrisons.

I called ASDA HQ CS and enquired as to why? Very nice gentleman, very helpful, was not aware of a problem, had never heard of or encountered the discrepancy before. He agreed with me that it was an issue from the point of view of the 10% guarantee and that whilst (for that receipt) no APG was due from T, S and W ...... WHO KNOWS :eek: HOW MUCH it might have been from M ?
Said he (or someone relevant) would contact MySuperMarket.com to find what was going on and get back to me when they had an answer.

No call back after a few days so I chased it up .. spoke to a very helpful lady .. who also was surprised by the M N/A*

She found my details for the previous query and she spoke to the man who had dealt with it. She said they had no satisfactory answer (not even for themselves) but that to compensate for the error the gentleman had already arranged for a gift card to be sent to me.
Sadly it has yet to arrive - must chase that up - especially now that it's happened again.

Unfortunately the thing is that once you've checked a receipt it appears to store the results and whilst you can enter the same details again it only retrieves what was calculated the 1st time round ... so IF MSM.com update their details for Morrisons this afternoon or tomorrow you can never regenerate a NEW APG from the new data now available.

Think I'll make a phone call

So CW - some or all ... the same or not ?

AN UPDATE: Big apology from ASDA re Gift Card - another (possibly with more money on it) is on its way to me .....

.... along with ANOTHER GIFT CARD for my call of yesterday from a different department .... issued for 2 reasons ...

... the problem itself (Morrisons N/A*) and the fact that I'm helping them SOLVE the problem

Spoke to someone a "little more" technical, specifically based in the APG team and explained the issue .... especially since I had "interesting receipts"

Basically, 2 receipts from the same store on the same day (29/12) 1 early morning, 1 mid-afternoon.
The latter was the one checked on 30/12 and had the Morrisons N/A* problem ....

... the early morning one I deliberately didn't check the same day - left it until Jan 1st (might have been 2nd) and guess what .... IT DID the APG against MORRISONS prices OK

So, the "feeling" is that there is possibly just a single an item on the problem receipt that it wants to genuinely price check against (it's NOT a N/A item at Morrisons that would be disregarded) and it IS on file but the price is marked "out of date" and for some reason it invalidates the entire receipt comparison for Morrisons.

Anyway I'm sending off copies of both receipts (and the one from 2/11/11) and they are chasing up mysupermarket.com to explain the failure of APG to function correctly.

Definitely worth keeping an eye out for Morrisons not being compared against and probably to your advantage to contact ASDA about it - 08009520101
