    All my weekend wombling amounted to a measly 16p :(
    ................

    As well as a few others, found half a dozen really REALLY tightly screwed up balls all in the same trolley (something I did think a little odd)

    Carefully opened them up to reveal approximate totals of £31, £33, £72, £105, £128 and £173

    2 from January and 4 from March

    None of them had the "usual" signs that they had already been "USED" - circles around the key till, transaction and operator numbers, signatures, scrawls, lines or APG written somewhere.

    However the lowest 4 totals had "top edge damage" that clearly indicated they had been STAPLED to something and then torn away - a clear sign at my local that the check was done in-store and the voucher attached to each receipt by the SA
    Furthermore each had a number or value written in one of the very bottom corners (£1.37 78p 1.07 and £6.91 respectively) in 3 different inks in 3 different handwritings

    Anyway I thought - at least worth entering the details and see what comes up.
    Sure enough each of the 4 were worth EXACTLY the amount written in the corners AND .......

    .... IF you clicked "GET A VOUCHER" ... IT DIDN'T ask for email address, name & postcode etc - the voucher just appeared - a CLEAR SIGN they had been obtained (and presumably Printed & Redeemed) before by the "previous owner".

    Given the £128 and £173 had NOT been stapled and were devoid of numbers in either corner I presumed they did not generate a voucher.

    Anyway entered the first and sure enough NO "refund" - ALL stores over £12 dearer

    I very nearly didn't check the £178 .....


    .... came back worth ω8.33



    NERVOUSLY :eek: clicked "GET A VOUCHER"
