Evening Mrs Moc, are you joining us in the bar this evening. If you are pull up a chair and place your order at the bar.

I think given your response above, you may have missed one or two of Henlans posts. However, I think it would be best to put this discussion to bed as everything that is being said has pretty much been said already.

I see you are a long time member of MSE, do you have a thread that you use most of the time or do you use a lot of different ones (not being funny, just trying to be friendly).

Yes please make mine a large rose preferably free lol.

I just feel henlans gets too much stick for doing what I believe lots are doing quietly. Anyhow enough said.

I'm usually on The grabbit boards, Tesco threads and once used the pregnancy thread as a lifeline while hospitalised for 6 months.

I don't post often these days as with 5 youngsters I'm usually flat out, but do try to contribute when I can.

Thank u very much for the welcome, it's been a crap day here with never ending rain and I've hidden myself in my bedroom because there's football on downstairs :eek:

There have been examples of those going through tills being told 'oh thats nothing' with £15 vouchers because others have hammered it. I've discovered a member today who has been told they can't use any more in MY store, and has admitted they were doing £400 a DAY and the manager has now said 'enough'. Meanwhile I haven't had one single problem in my 3-4 weekly shops. So I'm not sure we have real evidence that because one person hammers it then everyone is treated as a fraudster. Not my experience.

Well perhaps others would say differently. I have not "hammered" it and yet when I wanted to use a perfectly legitamate APG on Sunday (£16.40) it was declined and I was told that it may be fraudulent. I am perfectly capable of fighting my own, legitimate, battles but there are others who would shy away from this and it need never have escalated to this level if common sense had prevaled and greed and self promotion had been stamped on from day 1

I see there has been a little bit of talk about Disney tonite. If anyone is interested there is a thread on the main Grabbit board about codes stacking for online shopping at Disney Store. I used them last night and got a sho down from £77 odd to just £53 including delivery.

The point being made I believe is that anyone who produces an APG that is for a higher percentage than would normally be acceptable will be subjected to scrutiny at best and trouting at worst at the till. Not everyone is comfortable in "fronting this out" and therefore will not be able to take advantage. Despite what Asdas T&C's state each store will no doubt, as in the past, use their discretion in how they treat these customers.

Not once has an SA studied what I spent and commented on the voucher as a percentage of it. I did have one or two say 'wow thats a big one' (so sick of hearing that in my life :rotfl:) or 'thats really good'. Then discovered today a fellow MSE'r who has been banned from using APG's in my store who says he was doing £400 a day. So sorry but what you are saying is just factually incorrect or, if an assumption, just plain wrong. I am 'anyone' and have done it several times, and no.

Just catching up (again lol, always seem to be playing catch up) I have just sorted 5 big carrier bags of food to send to local food bank and harvest at schools. I know a lot of us will be donating some of our food, but if everyone who took advantage of sada's recent glitch and coupon use gave a bag of food (fillers?) , then lots of others will benefit. Just a thought and like I said many of us will already be doing this (will drift away again to catch up)

I would disagree, I'm no wallflower either but if anyone especially a stranger was questioning any aspect of my finances without invite, then I would tell them where to go.

But then if you posted things about getting £7,000 worth of products from the glitch and feeding journalists (who have actually gone on to quote this) information about getting between £5 and £900 of items a day from the glitch, would you not then expect people, including the tax man, to start asking questions.

These are just a couple of examples, I do believe he has also posted about an order for 200 haircare products from a care home (which i believe he was going to sell to them for £2.50, which I assumed to mean per item which would have given a pretty hefty mark up on the 10p each he paid for them). I admit I could have miss read these posts, in which case I stand corrected.

I am now kicking myself as I have been trying hard not to get into this discussion/argument (what ever people want to call it). At the end of the day, he will do what ever he wants to do not matter what anyone else says to him.

Apologies , mistake .
