    Just been to MFI to order last of stuff (Thank you Tesco)
    Came away with 2 seperate orders.
    As i was using the last of my deals vouchers decieded to be really cheeky and push it as much as possible.
    Ended up getting 2 lots of free delivery, free insurance on leather goods, 2 free leather care kits and 2 FREE FLAT SCREEN 17 INCH TVS, pointed out to manager that we were going to be sleeping on sofas so could we count it as bedroom furniture for pupose of offer and have free goods.
    Manager stated that for my cheek and also as I keep going back to store, he would authorise it. All the time I have my credit card in my hand and the deals vouchers are hidden in my bag.
    Then when it came for the time to pay, I whip out deals vouchers.
    Order one cost me £14.27 cash.
    Order two cost me £25.36 cash.
    Still have £260 deals vouchers left.
    I am over the moon DSS, now have a flat screen TV each for their birthdays.

    I must take the time to write to Sir Terry and thank him so much for refurbishing my house in the past 12 months.

    Could do with a bit of Liposuction I am hoping that crops up as a deal sooner or later.
    Well done you, I wish I had the guts to ask for freebies and money off but I go red at the drop of a hat and just can't do it, when I spent £260 on my DD bedroom furniture I didn't even get free delivery, If I'd had my OH with me he prob would've done. Anyway just nice to see people getting good deals, especially when they take your money and turn around and say you've got to wait 2mnths before you can have it!

    Ordered a condenser dryer at Mfi to-day.
    Tried to push further discount but they would only offer discount on the extended warranty.

    Argh! I've saved my vouchers from the last 3 statements (about £20 each time I think = £180 in deals) but when I came to add the most recent statement's vouchers to the others, I can't find them anywhere! Is there any way I can get these vouchers re-issued? I don't have any voucher numbers or anything! Help!

    How can I get a brochure listing deals that has been mentioned?

    Local store is clueless - says I should get them in the post. But all I get is an occasional small flyer advertising e.g. Alton Towers or Legoland.

    I would imagine you could just inform Tescos that you havent received them, and they should issue new ones, cancelling the previous ones......shouldnt really be a problem......unless youve used the coupons that came with them, then i suppose its possible they could know you have received them.........but even so, i think they would re-issue them.

    You can view deals on-line here, and i would imagine you can join/order a booklet from here

    http://www.tesco.com/clubcard/clubcard/

    and order one here

    Went to spend my MFI vouchers yesterday and shock horror the bathroom suite I wanted had gone up to full price :eek:

    Looked around and spoke to nice chap and asked when the last deal had ended & got told Wednesday. Dame! Asked when next offer would be on he said could I wait until easter, must have looked broken hearted and he felt sorry for me so said he would see if he could get the last offers prices for me :j

    Lucky I wrote every thing down I needed with the prices from the sale leaflet. He added everything I needed onto the computer and then gave a discount of £884-00 (to make the price the same as last offer).

    Got asked at this point how I was going to pay and then mentioned the vouchers - he never battered an eyelid :j

    Noticed he even discounted the delivery charge so I never even paid for delivery - Oh how I love Tesco.

    Teamed up with a friend and she got a table and chairs on offer also with no delivery charge as we put them through as one order - he never noticed different names on the vouchers. (we had to team up as she never had enough to place an order)

    What an excellent week we have had - lets hope the good times condinue :j :j :j :j

    I have two questions for you wonderful people :confused:

    1) I ordered £55 worth of vouchers so I could use Purple Parking for when we go on holiday (checked website first to see how much I needed) and when I booked it today, the cost was only £41.93 - so only used £40 on the parking. Now can I use these remaining £15 worth of vouchers for anything else (as it doesn't actually say Purple parking on them) or are they now useless?

    2) I have lots of vouchers in names of different people (have bought off family and friends). I want to buy my bathroom at MFI, but am worried that if I order all the vouchers in MFI tokens and they come back in different names, what happens if they don't accept them in one order (as they did for nettsey) and I then have wasted all those vouchers when I could have used them for other things - any suggestions?:confused:

    Thank you for any advice you can give me :A

    First the parking - you could swap the vouchers you have left back into clubcard vouchers.

    MFI dont notice the names - lots of people on here have said they have used vouchers in other names and they have all gone through OK.
    To be honest I think the sales guys or girls are just happy to make a sale and get the commission no matter how you pay.

    Good luck and happy spending.

    Thanks nettsey - when you say about swapping back into clubcard vouchers - does that mean that I can then exchange them for some other deal? and how do I go about changing them back - do I just ring them?

    I think I might take the chance of the MFI vouchers - coz as you said about the parking, maybe I can then change them back into clubcard vouchers if there is a problem - is that right? :confused:
