I don't know why anyone is stressing out over this - Asda CANNOT and WILL NOT refuse higher value vouchers that have already been generated. Several of us (me included ) have phoned HQ today and been told that all higher value vouchers will be honoured. They haven't really got much choice - any more than Tesco had when they altered their system.

There is no point banging on asking the same question on here as to what will happen - if people don't believe what some of us have been told, then ring up HQ and ask them ! Undoubtedly some staff will try it on and refuse them - but HQ will sort them out for the price of a free phone call. Relax.

I`ve tried to use an apg for £29 in 2 seperate sada stores tonight and was refused in both!!!
Both stores told me that they couldn`t take any over £15. In both cases the manager came to see me and I told them head office said they were horouring any exisiting apg but limiting them after today. Head office was closed by this time and although they were very pleasant about it I was told their instructions were to stick to the £15 limit. (I actually got to read the notice to staff over the shoulder of the lady in store 2 and there was no mention of apgs generated earlier than the date of the notice which was yesterday 21st)

At the first store the guy said he didn`t think there would be any problem using it but I would have to go back tomorrow as he would need head office to authorise it.

At the second the lady was willing to take £15 off and get back to me tomorrow to let me know if I could claim the other £14.

I refused to use the apg and said I would take it up again with head office myself!

Hi peeps.
As I am new to this would you mind please, explaining how this dtd works as its all about apg at the moment?
Many thanks

If you are overcharged in store you get double the difference back, so if you were charged £3 and the sel said £2 you would get back double £1.

I'm sure the less picky realised what I meant, I'm pretty sure I've not come across as the type of person that would said avoid a charity

Sigh

Thats how I personally took it that you meant it did not count as one of your 8 items, not do not buy it because it is for a cancer charity.
Thats the trouble with forums people type and post especially on a fast moving thread like this without proof reading first and looking into the context of every word and how it could be taken quite rightly by somebody else to mean something entirely different.
If that makes sense.

If the label in Tesco says £1 and you get charged £2, you take the item to Customer Services AFTER paying and should be given DTD

Difference = £1
Doubled = £2 refund

So basically the item was free

Evening guys.

Just got back in from the festival in ironbridge. Lovely family night.

Anyhow, went to a's during break from work and OMG. I had a £14 apg and there was loads of fuss at the till next to me.

Glanced up and OMG again. There was the store manager looking very angry, a supervisor, 3 till operatives and the security guard. Craned my neck a little, well a a lot and OMG. I saw what the fuss was about.

On the conveyor was 10 flash mop things, same number of refils, counted 20 john frieda hair poos, and loads more. OMG. And you think Henlans takes the micky?!

The manager was tellong the guy he couldnt have what was left over in cash. What on earth was the amount of apgs for that little lot in the first place. The guy was aaying he would have it on gift card. Manager get on walkie talkie thingy and over pops more suits. ( me and till lady stood sharing my mentoes whilst ear wigging). Cant have gift card. Yes i can says man, its in terms and conditions. Off trots a suit and stands away from till whilst more suits gather and all reads a terms and condition print out. Guy walks over and points it out to them. Lady suit tells him to go back to his till!!! Lots of cafuffaling, i ran out of mints and someone had nerve to get in my queue so had to move along.

No probs with my £14 though, sv was called, she just popped her neck around from next till and laughed at my meager apg. I asked it was was too high ( tongue in cheek). She said, thats nothing love.

OMG i just could not believe it.

If after tonight you have higner vouchers for over £30 and you dont want to waste them you can do this.

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

If you bought your shopping online we'll issue you with an e-voucher you can redeem off the cost of your next online shop. Please be aware once you claim your e-voucher, this can then take up to 7 days to credit your ASDA.com account. If you bought your shopping in store, we'll issue you with a voucher you can redeem against the cost of your next shop at the checkouts.

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.

I stuck £100 on giftcards today. im not going to risk it and ill use the gift card to get little shops of £15 but someone said to me that the £15 limit is not the only "tweek" so I wonder what else its going to do.

Sounds as if he read this well.......... perhaps people who are holding £15plus vouchers should go tonight to do the gift card thing.......
