Hurry - £5.40 coupon in Daily Star - scans!!!

You'll have to be quick for this!! Another poster has already posted on Quick Grabbit, but in today's (Saturday's) Daily Star, there's a coupon for £2.40 off Loaded mag. BUT BUT there's a printing error on the barcode and it scans at £5.40!!!!!!!

It's on P. 30 and it's valid till 5th May - so run don't walk, and fill yer boots.

Thanks to the posters over at Bobs for this too :T

  • Wouldn't go through at tesco today as I was even buying the magazine! They had to do it as a non scan coupon and put in the price as I had the right magazine the coupon and it was in date so they must have twigged!

    in most shops it wont work because you have to physically load the coupons onto the system, seem the shop where Addy went in couldnt have updated the plu price on the barcode correctly.

    Used one this evening in Tesco again with no problems.

    I think it'll work by default - systems would need to be programmed not to take it or cashiers told not to take it.

    Posters on Bobs are managing to use it at Asda, or in the self-scans at Tesco generally.
