    I am SOOOOOO annoyed with myself. I messed up a shop today by getting 8 cereal/cleaning items instead of 9.

    I usually get 6 items in total, but planned to get more today as I was going for lower value things. Lost myself about £5 .... *slaps only wrists*

  • Hi Tricia, sorry to hear about your bank charges :( I did an online shop last Friday and as yet I still haven't had my voucher, it should in theory be in my account tomorrow.

    As you are now over are you going to contact Asda? Its all a bit worrying as my other 2 vouchers went onto my account very quickly.

    I wonder if other posters could comment please as to how they are doing with their online vouchers?

    Hi Budgie I did an online shop & a week had passed on wed & still no apg in my account. So, I rang them & they asked me how much the apg should have been it was £54.xx I told them £54 without the pence.

    2 hrs later they called me & said the £54 was in my account when I checked it was there but no pence so they obviously went by what I said & not the comparison result. What I'm trying to say is that there is a problem with their system so it's probably best to ring them after a few days to get your apg earlier rather than wait the 7 days.
