My opinions on APG re-use and the return of DTD items on golden receipts

Re-using APGs because receipt wasn't marked
A's might have a central processing facility that records the details of the APGs redeemed. If they see multiples of the same one coming through they MAY rethink/withdraw/amend the policy. Hopefully it will not be withdrawn and will merely be amended in one of two ways. 1 - retrain staff to always mark "APG" on receipts so that they can't be used again. 2 - implement T's system where the till recognises the barcode as having been used already

Returning items that generated an APG (which was redeemed)
A's CS staff scan the receipt barcode on all returns. There may be a processing team somewhere who are able to tally receipts that had returned items versus APGs that were redemmed. Again this may lead to a re-thnk of the policy when they see items are being bought, vouchers claimed and used, then items returned in full

Hopefully, if they choose to do anything about this they can amend their system so that when CS scans a barcode for a return the till says "APG redeemed/generated" and then they can check if the item being returned gave any value to the APG. If it did then the return value should be reduced by the amount given on the voucher for that item as per the T&Cs

Returning items to T's that generated PPs or golden DTDs
T's staff do not scan barcodes or record any details of the receipt in question when doing a return. There is no way for them to know if the receipt generated a PP (since the SA's rarely mark them) or was given DTD. EVERY DTD I have ever had has been marked on the receipt. I have never had a "golden" so I've never faced this situation

There is no way for a central processing facility to konw if the PP they receive is from a receipt that has items on it that were subsequently returned. Doing any of this may be morally/ethically wrong (I dont want to get into THAT argument) but at least it is not trackable and will not lead to a rethink of DTD policy. If people want to use this practice then at least it shouldn't hurt the rest of us who choose not to

Re-using T's PPs
Thankfully T's have implemented new barcodes/software that recognise when a voucher is used so this is no longer an issue. Tme will tell if A's adopt a similar policy

Disclaimer
I am not whiter than white so I can't say "don't do this" to any of the above instead I am going to say "you shouldn't do it"

Everyone is free to do as they wish. I just hope that those who chose to do something that they shouldn't do it in a way that can't be tracked (and the only thing that I can see has no danger of being tracked is returning items to Ts that resulted in a DTD or PP)

Hope you have got a pot on the go Issyc, I am sat waiting for someone to confirm the wine today.

Hope that does not sound a bit selfish but I have not been able to try it yet and would not really be able to afford to absorb the cost of a first try. Have done my homework and looked back for the details and will make my bank holiday weekend if it is still on.
