just got my second apg:j:j wine and tk still work, can i use both together when i go shopping?:question:

Yes you can but be aware that that SA will check your reciept so it nay not be the best idea to go buy all the same stuff again

There isn't a limit as to how many you can use in one shop, just basic common sense

Bacon, cheese and coffee have all become very expensive over the past year or so.

James, I think that the staff may have marked your card while trying to lull you into a false sense of security. I'd stay away from that store for a while.

Having spent several hrs catching up on the last 24hr posts I am saddened by the greed of some. The bragging and pics of stashes is what put me off before. I now generally post only if I have found a real bargain to share or to say thank you. I suspect the mgr at Asda will be staight on to hq and the apg will be affected for others now. What a shame.:(

Well after a few comments on here I decided to go and spend my £53 odd APG today rather waiting and potentially not using it.

I went to another ASDA and did a big shop, and came to over £70. I got some of the same deals as last time to top it up (wine, tomato ketchup, pepsi etc...) but not as mad as last time!! When I nervously handed it over on the counter, the girl screamed out "WOW, HOW DID YOU GET THAT?!". A colleague then came over from her shouting and showed her and both just asked me how I did it. I just went back and said that I looked for comparisons before I went shopping and wanted to take advantage of the APG.

Because she scanned the voucher and it was over £50, a manager then needed to come to the till to authorise. There was then 3 of them at the till and the manager wanted to know the "secret"! I said I wasn't going to give that away as that would be telling..... She had no trouble and put it through. Before I left, the manager followed me over to the customer service desk with the voucher and my receipt and asked if I was OK showing the store manager and was completely my choice, as she was so impressed and was the biggest they'd seen and wanted to show him. I said OK as long as my shop was not going to be refunded, she laughed and said "don't be silly, we'll all be asking you what items you bought so we can do it ourselves!!!!!!".

The store manager came down and shook my hand and said "I've heard your a genius at the price gaurantee!". I didn't know what to say but he laughed and said he wanted to meet me personally and it's said it's great to see people spotting deals like this and it always keeps ASDA competitive to find out competitors prices to keep them low. He said the products I bought won't be that high for long as head office constantly check to keep the prices low.

After the manager left and I said goodbye to the colleagues, they said to speak to them next time to tell them my secrets and off I went!!!! I couldn't believe the response!!!!

I must say that a lot of people on this forum made me VERY worried to go and use this voucher and was made to feel like a criminal earlier on today. From my experience, the store were very welcoming and couldn't believe the positive response I got! I'm going to keep this APG up and maybe not as high as last time, but will still keep doing big deals as it's value for money. ASDA don't seem to mind, they welcome it!!

Bring on the next APG (got to check my receipt in 2 hours time
hehe)

So thats ok then - but please be aware that they may not want to be your bosom buddies or anything as they could be just acquainting themselves with you so that they can recognise you should you have the good fortune to get another large apg:cool::cool::cool::cool:

Or they could actually mean what they say?! I have found loads of staff at T and A that share this view, who basically see it as a job and be pleased to be tipped off about a glitch or bargain. Not all of them are trouts, and not all of the managers are bean counters (or 5 bean counters, lol)
