Good morning everyone:)

See Doc & BP were true to their word:D:p:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Just a heads up for Boots shoppers after the advantage pts christmas evenings they are on again this week need to check your area they are on Weds or Thurs. They also advertising some for end of Nov also so hopefully will give out the extra 500 coupon like last event this time for the end of nov:D;)
I split my shops into £50 amounts as all though you get the 1200 pts for every £50 spend ie over £100 2400pts but at the end of transaction they only give 1 till spit for 500 extra pts next event where as if you do 2 x £50 sale you will get 2 till spits for next event I realised this at last years events therefore getting £17 worth of pts off a £50 spend:j HTH

What I do is 2 x £50 sales at begining of events getting the £12 worth of pts but then as I get 2 x 500 T/Spits each other event I save £17 worth of pts on each doing 2 x £50 transactions at each event.

THEN I HIT THE 75% SALE SPENDING ALL MY POINTS ACCRUED OVER THE YEAR:j:j:j picking up some prezzies cheap for the following year:D;)

AH and anyone else shopping at Boots for extra points, why don't you go and buy Boot's Gift Cards at T's and get 150 points for every £50 you spend? Possible £6 in deals for just swapping cash for GC :D

see here for promo details http://www.tesco.com/giftcard/

Every little helps :D:D:D:D and there are many more to choose from, worth doing if you are going to these stores anyway :T

BAD NEWS i'm afraid

re: my trouting on satuday in asda

rang store involved and they insisted that asdas new policy was to except no printable/internet coupons

not happy so rang HO number 08009520101

spoke to lovely chap who thought policy hadn't changed and rang store for me whilst i was still on phone

store customer service manager insisted no coupons and says its a national policy.

back to me i say seems strange not to inform him & other phone staff as if i hadn't asked him to phone through he would have just misinformed me
so off he goes to speak to a more senior staff member & duty manager.

HERES THE BAD NEWS
they are adament/100% sure this is asdas new nationwide coupon policy
NO printable/internet coupons what so ever will be excepted
(this is due to the high number of fraudulant coupons they have been getting through i.e ones sold on ebay)

their suggestion is to contact companies instead and get them to post coupons out to you


lets just hope other stores don't follow suit

The meet up place has been agreed by everyone (except FT and snowdrop cos I ain't got your tel no's or email addy's:() We are now going to be educated as well as meeting up cos it is in the gallery cafe

http://www.manchestergalleries.org/shop-and-cafe/gallery-cafe/

It seems ideal as it has home made grub including veggie stuff, disabled access, free wi fi (so docs daughter ca keep an eye on the glitching stuff while we scoff and chat:cool:) and we shouldn't get kicked out until we wanna go home/shopping. We just have to arrange the times everyone is getting to the train station/meeting there. Me and FFF might be a bit late as we have to go to her mums so that she can load my car up with all her cif, MT and Lilly:cool::cool:

Blue (or anyone else) will you email me the details, dates etc pretty please? If I can convince meself enough I would love to come (if that was okay). Blue are you driving?

The no internet of any kind is what I have experienced in a lot of stores. I have been in about 6 diff ones in diff areas recently and all but one said no internet. How they can say no internet when they are giving out the huggies newborn starter kit internet coupons I have no idea though. The £9/5 huggies copies are still being sold on ebay I noticed yesterday.

Couponnet are now sending the couppons through the post on ordinary copy paper and they look the same as the ones I have printed now, so getting them in the post is no good anymore.

I used 3 internet coupons this morning.

The sa scanned the beans coupons but then I gave her an apg and she called for a supervisor. The supervisor told her that asda aren't accepting e coupons or printed coupons anymore but as mine had been scanned I could use them.:eek:

Asda will lose a lot of custom if they keep this up I think.:(
