Just trying to understand this, did my first sada apg shop yesterday, so proud of myself (had got myself all worked up and instead of the minimum 8 required comparable items i was going to go for along side the special offers at t-co,I ended up sticking in 11, including 4 smart price) nevermind, anyhow, want to know why they gave me a £15 voucher if the diff in shopping is about £8.23, I know its capped at £15, but why did i get 15 when the diff is only 8.23? surely £7.40 is not 10% off anything- either my t-co total or sada total?
I do not understand, can anyone help explain?
p.s. Im not complaining, but thrilled with the 15 back, reason I wanted to understand is for for next time, so I'm able to work out how much me is getting back b4 i pay for my shop and yes I am very bad at maths:)

Impossible to say without details.
You need to post the Tosco details please
ETA: You say difference was £8.32 but looking at above that is not the case. The things you bought in A that were also available to buy in T cost you £23.02 in A but would have cost £8.32 in T

Looking at what you've printed the difference was actually £14.79 not £8.23.

My first try at one of these on here
doesn't mean I will get it right but this is what I think 
The difference in the shop is £14.79 + 10% of relevant shop so capped at £15
Can you put the whole shop on so we can see where you gained on the apg.
TIA

OK, from the stuff you bought that compares: it cost £23.02 in Asda but just £8.23 in Tesco. To be 10% cheaper than competitor, Asda should have been £7.40 but as they were actually £23.02 you are entitled to £15.62 back (capped at £15). HTHMortgage Aug 22 £280,000
