I have committed a school boy error this evening that I wasn't aware of.
Headed back to to do a cereal shop with a £10.18p voucher..Went and used the self service checkout to pay and had to wait for the lady to get her SA to come authorise my transaction. I waited about 5 min' then the SA came over and he informed me that "This voucher isn't valid until 6am the following morning" I replied with "sorry I had no Idea" He cancelled the whole order for me and off I went with my tail between my legs.

Yesterday I did about 3 shops and used the vouchers that very day. Looks like today has been an unlucky visit for me.

So do you all wait at least 2hrs before you try to redeem your voucher(s)??

!!!!!!? :eek::eek: Had no idea about this either, just lucky I use vouchers next day anyway! :rotfl::rotfl:

Awwwww flump! Not my day today. Killed orft my big APG by doing something really stupid and just now the stupid cat has knocked a glass of red wine out of my hand, (not the cheapo one either), then paddled in it and run up my newly beige-carpeted stairs:mad: Got lovely little pink pawprints all the way up! Now, which of my 10,000 new cleaning products will sort this?????

Well did this go out of the window then, thanks for posting -
So boys, girls and all others......

Instead of waiting to be trouted take the initiative, when you get to the store buy something silly like a packet of gum and go to the customer service desk, tell them you want to use the ridiculously large APG to buy the gum and you have spoken to head office (I did speak to head office to confirm this BEFORE posting it here) and was told that if using the APG for items less then it's value I would get the balance put on a gift card. After the usual "I'm not sure/I need to call" 5 minute faff you'll have your nice shiny gift card complete with all your APG goodness.

It worked today for me with a £40+ APG and what was even more interesting was that they did not enter the APG barcode into the system when transferring the balance to the gift card so they're now unable to track any subsequent spend back to that APG.

Obviously you need your original receipt as always, but frankly no-one with a fake APG is going to walk up to the customer service desk and try this on so you're at lot less likely to get trouted, although they'll want to check it thoroughly.

If anyone does get silly and make accusations then just ask them firmly for their name and their position in the store, if you're feeling brave and they've made accusations within earshot of any members of the public ask them, loud enough so anyone else in earshot can also hear, if they're willing to give you a £20 gift card for your embarrassment when you prove them wrong. By taking the battle to them you put them on the defensive, remember in all of this that your APG is valid and legit as long as you haven't broken the £100 limit rule.

Good luck all and I hope some people find my first post useful.

Long time lurker first time poster.....

Having read here extensively about the number of trouting incidences with APG's I decided to do some investigation.

1. DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED BY BEING TROUTED. You are absolutely entitled to use a valid APG anyway you wish, obviously if you're breaking the monthly £100 limit then that's another matter but if you are under the monthly limit and have even a £50 legitimate APG you are entitled to use it.

However some people feel they have done something wrong even when they haven't, so to help them I have the following suggestion......get the APG value put on a gift card.

What What !!?? I hear you say, how do I do that?

It's really quite simple.

In the Asda Price Guarantee website Q&A

I can't post the link but google

asda price guarantee questions

and it's the first one on the list

it states....

How will I get my voucher when I am entitled to one?

...............In store vouchers can be redeemed at any Asda store, as long as you present your voucher along with your original receipt.

Alternatively, you can redeem your voucher at the customer service desk if you are spending less than the value of the voucher. All vouchers must be used within 28 days of being issued. You must ensure that you retain your original receipt as vouchers are only valid when presented with the original receipt.


So boys, girls and all others......

And how many people on here do you think have not broken the £100 limit? I'll bet most have. Not sure any limit is actually enforceable either really apart from an individual store refusing it on the basis of you using more than the £100 in that one store.

I've just looked at it then ;-(

Nothing I can about it now. I will for future have their terms and conditions page booked marked on my iphone so next time so I can show them. I took the SA name too, just in case. DAMMNNNNNN!!!

Evening FK. It says £100 per household in the t&c's, just checked (I as don't want whatsisface after me;):D). I shop for 5 households, my own, mum's, mil's, and two elderly neighbours.;);):D
