Ok.. I wanted to double check on this and I have done using the following number. 0845 300 0627. I challage ANYONE that does not agree with this to first contact the number and ask them the same question.

I bought £40 worth of goods with £3 cash and £37 voucher. If I then managed to buy £8000 worth of goods with cash and vouchers (cash being £1000 and vouchers being £7000) and then was to sell some of the products for £1000 to make up my outlay would I need to provide anything for the tax office.

Man on phone. Checks with someone else.

There is no tax liability, We would not need to know about this.

henlans i don't think anyone cares anymore:p:p

ps coke 3 for 2 also ended for anyone who skipped yesterday's shenanigans

Well, I have just sent off the complaint to Thomas Cook about the first outward flight to Cuba, will wait and see what they have to say. Not hopeful to be honest, but if we had turned round for safety reasons rather than operational reasons I would not be complaining.

To sum it up for anyone that has not read the post, we flew out to Cuba on holiday. The flight out was a awful, we spent 2 1/2 hours on the tarmac waiting for them to fix the hydraulics (they took a part off another plane in the end) then about 5 hours into the flight the pilot came on and said he had some bad news and that we would be landing at Gatwick in about 2 hours!!!! Turned out the plane had developed a fault and they had been told by operations to turn round even though the pilot wanted to go on to Cuba, there was no safety issue and it was not an emergency landing. We were told when we were boarding the next day (again!!!) that apparently it was ANOTHER hydraulics issue, and that we had been on the news (though I can find no evidence of this) because we were tipping hydraulic fluid all over Londong and landed with smoking engines (probably fluid got onto them?). Why they could not just have diverted somewhere closer and fixed it I do not know.

Anyway, the woman in the seat was convinced that was the end, and several people did not turn up for the flight the next day, and some were put off by the face the fire alarm went off in Gatwick while we were waiting for the flight the next day (and it was a real fire, a small one behind McDonalds!!!).

Hence the complaint to Thomas Cook who then added insult to injury - we had a letter from them on our return, thought it would be an apology but instead it was a £50 voucher because we had no entertainment system on the first flight!!! As if we would EVER fly with them again :eek::eek:

Anyway HC (HappyChappy), I did warn you about our holidays before we went - is that evidence enough?:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Dread to think what will happen to poor Cuba after that fiasco just getting there!! :rotfl::rotfl:

We've flown with TC in the past but not again , I didn't enjoy either flight as the seating was cramped , they didn't put on the air con , the stewardess was rather ' not bothefed ' at any complaints from passengers ..etc etc
I wish you well with your complaint .

I once spent 3 hours delayed on the plane at Cardiff airport with them , I seem to remember it took them an age to offer water or any refreshment but by that most passengers were well on their way with their ' hidden ' stash of spirits .

Can anyone advise me what happened here. The first Aussie didn't compare properly and I'm not sure why???

1 x Aussie Mega Shampoo (300ml) £3.34 £4.48
1 x Aussie Colour Mate Shampoo (300ml) £3.33£0.32
1 x Aussie Take the Heat Shampoo (300ml) £3.33£0.32

I am new to this but I can't see the MEGA shampoo on Henlans list, maybe this is it!

just wanted to post this hope it helps someone, if you are having problems with vouchers or purchasing gift cards i would ring Ho and get them to email you a response as well then if you can print off or show them if you have any problems in store

Hi xxxxxx

Further to our conversation this afternoon, I can confirm that all of our stores should be accepting all Asda Price Guarantee vouchers that are presented with the matching receipt, regardless of the value of the voucher.

Thanks for posting the above e mail.

As of Sunday 23 September, customers will not be able to print a voucher for more than £15. If they already have vouchers that are in excess of £15, we must accept them.

I can also confirm that if you aren’t spending the full value of your APG voucher, we will put the remaining balance on to a gift card for you.
“15. Claims will be made via voucher (in store) or e-voucher (online). You must ensure that you retain your original receipt as vouchers are not valid without the original receipt. In store, vouchers (together with the original receipt) can be redeemed off the cost of your next shop at the checkouts, or alternatively (again, together with the original receipt) be redeemed at the customer service desk, if you are spending less than the value of the voucher”

If my colleagues in store aren’t aware of the above points, please show them this email. They are welcome to call the team on 0800 952 0101 if they need any further advice (the call reference number is in the subject line).

Thanks again for getting in touch. If there’s anything else I can help you with, please let me know.

Kind regards





ps did someone mention offers that are finishing today include coke/cleaning and cereal?????:(:(:(:(:(

I wouldn't buy coke today if I was you. MSM usually change the offers a day earlier than they change in store. Not sure about the cereals.

Thanks for posting the above e mail

There is no Idiots guide as such, because it moves very fast, offers change and to get the best out of the glitch you need to know what you are doing. But there is plenty of Idiots (:D apologies 11+ers) guidance, advice, suggestions on past threads, as well as a lot of stuff on how not to do it - we pretty much all have fluffed up here and there.

Have a read of the past threads - put "Elite" or "11+" into the thread search on the Gone but was it any good board to pull them up. Browsing a couple of these will give you the gist and then pop back here and peeps will help with any specific questions.

Hope you have a fair bit of free time - it is addictive

Talk about being addictive. I still fondly remember the DTD days when me and the OH used to do 2 shops every day, enter the details into the website and then impatiently wait the next day for the vouchers.

Similar idea, but with a more restricted choice of goodies to go for, but the A voucher turnaround is just 3 hours ....
