I've just been to the site and can't see anything about this?! What do you need to do on the page to get the voucher?

You need to go on face book colgate uk, click their app, I think it has a basket of colgate products picture, then click get rewards and fill in your details and they send you the 75p coupon by email so you can print more than 1.

can i add my tuppence worth to the guilt trip debate about A's employees losing bonuses on this....

firstly, there are many staff that are participating in this glitch...and theres nothing to prevent them from doing so...they get staff discount too, so they're paying less in the first place to generate the apg....so its all good for them too

secondly, its unlikely that each individual employees bonus is dependant on the stores takings of apg vouchers, the apg is based on nationwide prices and can be used in ay other store, so doubt A's would use this as an overall margin for profit/loss per store. Just as an example of the opposite, DTD in Ts is different as 99% of this is due to instore employee error (ie not removing OOD SELs), so that could affect the individual stores bonus programme.

If an A's employee bonus is affected by the individual stores acceptance of apg vouchers, then I'm pretty sure that this would have been reiterated from the top, down to floor level, and every SA would be aware now and be questioning every high apg they could!

Unfortunately, most companies are hit by alsorts of problems, whether its non payers/debtors or systems issues which cause a business loss. There may be a 3rd party to lay blame with and possibly recoup losses from...but if not then the company takes the hit, and continues to trade. The overall profit/loss then determines any level of payrise and/or bonus payable to all/any employees.

Bonuses and payrises are not a right, nor a god given guaranteed method of payment, and some of the staff at various supermarkets would do well to remember that. They're based on profits and service....and trouting and banning customers doesnt help with either of these things

Overall, for me, I dont feel guilty. I cant see A's penalising their staff for something which is beyond the SA's control. If they do, then unfortunately, like I said above, they are a business after all and a bonus isnt a right...so its just hard luck

Going to have a second attempt today after yesterdays failure.

Am going to get 5 hair products plus smartprice conditioner in first basket (and ketchup/deodorant).

Second basket cereal and cleaning plus ambrosia.

Can I add Iams, Squash and mr Kiplings in the second basket? (one of each?) And can 8 pack of coke go in either of these baskets?

So sorry to ask, but dont want to fluff up again lol x

Got trouted again today in a small Asda.
It was only a £14 one, but they point blank refused to take it as they said they had ,had a e-mail yesterday saying not to take any vouchers ending 999. I told them to check it online, manager wouldn't , so i asked them to phone HO. He told me he couldn't as they had shut for the day.
Will try another Asda tomorrow as they took my other 4 today, with no problems.

On a funnier note, today my Mum asked my girls, 4 & 9, if they wanted to go to the park as i was going to Asda. They refused point blank and said they wanted to go to Asda, she was suprised by this as they normally love the park and hate shopping, she asked them why and they said they want to go wombling, as any wombles they find i let them spend. They picked up 5 receipts and got £9 back, so 2 very happy girls.

what a fab idea might give this a go

I'm sure someone posted yesterday that the haagan Daaz had gone up in price at Sainsbugs and their PP hadn't compared as favourably. Just checked on MSM and is £2.22 until25th sept.

Did anyone have success with this on a recent shop?

Hi, I posted yesterday the the HD was down to £2.22 in T, so comparing at £6.21 to Sainsburys instead of £8.49ish?? as before. Not got PP back yet, I only noticed when entering receipt online.

This was Belgian Choc that scanned £2.22 in T.
