    Back from shopping with Mum. I had to keep telling her, no, not that, THAT, and when she wanted to know why,' cos THAT works, and that doesn't'. Again, why? 'It's too complicated to explain, just trust me'.:rotfl: She got two really good apg's out of it though, so she's happy.
    I had a minor trouting, the usual huddle, scrutinising the voucher and peering surreptitiously at me. I asked if there was a problem and was told 'some people have been using fraudulent vouchers, not that I'm saying this one is, and you do understand I'm not accusing you of anything don't you?' She took great pains to reiterate several times the 'not accusing you of anything':rotfl:.
    She said that A's are not advertising the APG and finds it odd that they are getting so many high value vouchers. Not advertising my foot! There is a huge banner as you go in the store.:rotfl:
    I told her I shop for my own family, my mum, mil, and two elderly neighbours, and I research the best deals/compare prices and use the vouchers that their receipts generate for their next lot of shopping. She was very pleasant, and the voucher was accepted.:D


    Not advertising - my perishing Aunt Fanny !!! There is a full page ad in todays Mail saying what a wonderful scheme this is and bangin on about how they give an extra 10% over and above their price match.

    It would appear that a few people are buying the wrong dishwasher cleaner and rinse aid.:(

    These are the ones to buy.:)

    £3.00 (£1.20/100ml)

    168452.jpg
    Finish Shine & Dry Rinse Aid (400ml) £3.00 (75p/100ml)

    or

    168453.jpg
    Finish Shine & Dry Rinse Aid Lemon Sparkle (400ml) £3.00 (75p/100ml)

    I hope this will help!:):)

    OMG - I have caught up with every post on this thread now - all 316 pages !

    Right, now for the good news - I have managed to get around the dreaded £100 voucher problem :j

    So far, all the solutions I have seen when people hit the £100 limit only allow the next APG to work. But I had a £20-odd one stuck at only printing out at £8. Even going onto another computer, office, house, iPhone app etc that receipt seemed to be locked at only giving £8.

    I also tried adjusting the seconds up and down, to no avail - it was still stuck at £8, not £20.

    BUT - if you change the MINUTE to the next one up or down, and the SECONDS so that the overall time you put is still within 1 minutes (ie 60 seconds) it sees it as a different entry and BINGO - the full value voucher appeared.

    So, for example, if the time on the original is 10:35:12, make it 10:34:59

    Now, the APG voucher will show a slightly different time (1 minute out) so you might need to shrug your shoulders on that, but if they input the receipt themselves it will still show the correct comparisson, but not the correct voucher to print.

    Still, if the voucher is not scrutinised, you are OK, and you have the full value again !

    Otherwise, I don't think anyone else has found a way of getting the full value of the voucher have they ?

    OMFG I could kiss you :j:j:j

    I had a capped receipt stuck from the app on my phone. I just tweaked the minute as you said and out popped the un-capped one. Thank you soooooooooooo much :D

    Scamps - I think it was you that had the same problem as me. Give this a whirl and see if it works for you as well.

    No we don't

    What we need is people to stop being lazy and check whether the products will compare on msm.

    seconded!!:cool:

    Sometimes products look like they will work on msm, and they don't.
    Some mistakes are people people lazy, and some are genuine things people couldn't anticipate being a problem.

    The idea is to help each other, and I just thought a list of confirmed items would save all of us hours of searching through posts ... and help to reduce all the ''does this work'' posts! :)

    No, the question just changes to where's the list for this and so on....

    the answer is read back or hit the search button everytime!:D

    I know you're trying to be helpful Deb but there's no helping some people sometimes, every glitch and every comparing product is on this thread several times!:cool:

    in other news locarr;s latest shop worked perfectly...

    multiples of 3 plus 2 over the 8 never lets you down!!
