Tesco - deals and price guarantee

donniemac

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can help me out.
I was talking to a neighbour about this website and he indicated that people post here price beating deals form other companies who beat Tesco's prices and my neighbour indicated that if Tesco's prices are beaten that, not only do Tesco refund the difference, but they also allow you to keep the product free?
Now, is this correct?
Grateful if anyone can share information on this.
Im not interested in the 'tins of beans' or 'apples', but wondered if this applied to the bigger items such as TV's, Fridges, DVD's, etc?

Nope. What company would seriously give you the product free?! (Wink Wink to the R&Rers). Joking aside they won't give it free, but from seeing people in queues about 1yr ago I think they pricematch when asked, but don't quote me on that.

I think what you are referring to is when Tesco charge you more than the advertised price on the shelf or product. Eg the shelf say £2, you are charged £3. In that instance they used to give £3 back and the product free. Now they would give you double the difference (£3-£2 = £1 x2 = £2). The old refund plus product promise was referred to by MSE users as R&R(refund and retain). The new policy is DTD (Double the difference)
