Good afternoon one and all. Happy birthday :bdaycake:to all the birthday peeps, looks like there will be plenty to celebrate in the bar this evening :beer:

Quick question to you Savvy peeps, sorry if it has already been addressed this morning but a quick scan back suggests not. Have Sada changed the T&Cs for the APG regarding putting voucher underspends on a Gift Card?

I underspent on a voucher by £5 (ish) this morning and asked for the outstanding amount to be put on a gift card. I was told that they did not do that.

Assuming that they needed a spot of training, I called HO just now and they have confirmed that underspends are not put on a Gift Card.

I have just checked on the APG T&Cs and I can't find any mention of underspends going on a gift card either. I am sure the following T&C clause (point 15) used to mention it:

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.

The above is what is currently on the web site.

Can anyone shed any light on this for me?

Any help would be much appreciated. TIA

I had this to and phoned cs they basically said it is a loophole put in by the lawyers that taking it to a till is a cash transaction so there for because these vouches don't issue change any you have is lost but if you take all your shopping to the cs desk to pay for it then it is technically not a cash transaction as a till is not required, so the amount left on the voucher would get credited to a gift card, so next time ask them to void your shopping take it to the cs desk get them to ring it up and then they will issue the gift card with the difference, wish i had done that yesterday just to prove a point as but it didn't occur to me the trouting we had to deal with and it was only just over £1 but it was the attitude that got me, but CS said they will talk and mention retraining. so still lost the money but better than them doing nothing.HTH

Also they did say that terms had changed regarding and it used to g onto a card even at the tills and that the til will spit out the change for SS and its older software that didn't reconise the change, that applied to us as we where on the ss till and the SA snatched the money out of it so quick we didn't even realise what she was doing until it was done lol.

Have you been asleep the last week
We are using the Johnson 2 in 1 as body wash, it is fab lovely soft skin and a bottom to match :rotfl:not a baby in sight

I know, I know :o
I think it was because there was something with Johnsons before but it compared at £1.30 something if I remember correctly, so didn't really pay much attention!
Won't be making that mistake again, that's for sure

Had to take DD to Great Ormond Street Hospital yesterday about her eyes as has a squint and surgery May 2011 but eye sight is still very poor and nearly blind in her left eye. I have to go back in a couple of months for some more tests. Just a bad week I don't thinks things can get much worse. xxx Thanks for asking xxx

thank you to so many people who took the time to send lovely messages and hugs yesterday,:A it really did mean a lot to me. and reminded me how lucky we were to have so many years with him all the kids were remembering learning to ride on him and what a character he was..

good news no one was hurt in the fire my sons family home is smokey but not damaged the kids were very scared though.
4 houses were badly damaged and the worst thing is the police have arrested a young woman who lit the fire delibratly :eek:
it is hard to beleive someone would do that deliberatly eapeacily with all the children in the houses in bed its awful to think what could have happened..

ds3 is also feeling a bit better hubbled to school annoyed he cant do sports or the sponsered walk tomorrow

Hope you are feeling a bit better today.

I think some people go about using the word misinformer to discourage the newbies from doing it.

Pretty sad pratice but most people know it now. This just proves it.

I'm the same; it compared with a Sainsbury's shop before, at a higher price, too high for miserly me . But as part of the 3 for 2 at Waitrose, much more feasible!
