hi everyone :wave:
are we thinking the glitch may end now its hit the press or is it a case that asda cant fix it?
i went to l0ngwell today had no problems using vouchers which makes a change for that store BUT before taking payment for each shop the SA was printing off my new reciept/list of items and keeping it aside and then taking payment :cool: if that makes sense so means he was keeping a copy of each of my new shops, has anyone else had this happen??

I would "think" that means you card has been marked in that store and they may be keeping an eye on you so when you hit you £100 limit instore they will know and will warn you/stop you using them.

I would use another store if ou can (easy for me, I have loads near me, but I know not everyone does)

Disgusting! Humans can be so cruel. When will we realise that hunting like this is so harmful and unneccessary. Hope The Cove is always blue. I assume though that soon The Cove will always be blue as there will be no whales and dolphins left but do hope I am wrong on that one!

just keep up the lobbying for your cause. unfortunately, there are many injustices in this life and all we can do is fight for what we believe. Hopefully, someone will realise that more profit can be made from keeping the dolphins alive through tourism etc, just like has been tried with the gorillas in the congo/ rwanda.

just keep going and try not to feel disheartened.

Dear Mr Tesco,

I write to you from the World Famous 11+ thread off of MoneySavingExpert.com (That Martin Lewis chaps website).

We have recently liberated thousands and thousands of pounds worth of merchandise at knockdown prices from one of your rival competitors, Mr Asda. They are literally letting us walk out of the shop after paying for shopping with little computer printouts, and then using the receipts we get to print more. It is just like printing Asda Pounds off your computer.

Anyway, as we are World Famous, the pesky press have been writing stories on us, and have had a little chat to Mr Asda about the whole thing.

Mr Asda says we are "A really savvy bunch of shoppers" and the fact we have generated over 2 million views regarding this is "a PR coup".

At the 11+ we are a caring sharing bunch, and don't like it when just one company gets to receive the benefits of our attention, so I am writing to you wondering if you would also like to take part in our "PR coup".

At this moment in time we would be greatful if you could arrange glitches on the following items:

Clothing, especially umbrellas and winter coats, hats gloves etc. But we are OK for mens socks
Toys (for the kids, christmas is coming),
Dishwasher tablets (ours are lovely and clean already, just need something to clean the dishes),
Laundry detergent, (cos we like clean clothes)
Shower gels/soap etc (we have lovely clean hair, but the rest of us needs to be clean too),
Beer, wine, spirits etc (for christmas and any day with a "y" in it)
Chocolate (no explaination needed)
Christmas gifts (again, self explanitory).

Whilst we do not wish to appear greedy, if you could arrange for any/all of the above, as well as any other items that you think we would appreciate, then we would make sure that Mr Asda is not alone in the "PR coup" that we have created,

Kind Regards,


The 11+.

Sorry to quote myself (spelling mistakers and all!), but can see the next article being written saying:

"The members of the forum have even written to Tesco asking them to glitch some items for some of the publicity too. Tesco have not responded to our request for a comment, but an unofficial spokesperson has said "Off the record, we are working on it!"

Dear Mr Tesco,...

Of course Messrs Sainsbury and Waitrose might be also worth writing to as well.

Famous again!

and they still cant get the info right :rotfl::rotfl:

simple maths...and even a finance mag cant get it right!!! The OJ was 3p...charged £1 at A....well theres 97p difference for a start...yet they state 94p...:rotfl::rotfl:

have a feeling that this wont be any easy issue for A....and by the sounds of it, they're going to have to fight for compensation for this....

The software running the Asda Price Guarantee is provided by Isreali-based price comparison website mysupermarket.co.uk.

yet this is at the bottom...

Mr Foord said there was no question the software company would refund Asda for the cost of errors. ‘This of course is an irrelevant question since it is not us that is setting the prices. In addition, the APG system is wholly owned and operated by Asda.


on mys T&Cs it states that they wont be liable for any errors based on the info they supply...so looks like As and its shareholders will be footing the bill for this :rotfl:

Yes. Twice so far.
