Got a £51.05 shop down to 15p, then went to CS and complained that my reloaded went through at £1.50 not the £1 it said on the SEL, so a £3 refund came my way

I just wouldn't be brave enough to put that many vouchers through, well done

Didnt just want to hit Thanks button wanted to say thank you as i think we are treading on thin ice in our A because of coupons :mad: but thats another story! Just trying to get the most return but dont want to push to the mark as we like to stay under the radar & this hasnt happened at A so we are not best pleased but we shall keep our chin up & march on

Understood But maybe not really treading on thin ice. As long as you are using a manned till, you can present as many coupons or vouchers as you like and it is up to the store whether they choose to accept them in payment or not - you are not making that decision. A store can accept whatever mocs it likes in whatever multiples it likes as payment - eg Ms accepting A and T mocs or T now doing the same. Internal commercial decision and nothing to do with the law or anything else, and they can change their stance to suit their commercial needs. They can accept mocs that they cannot recoup if that is what they want to do.

My view would be that if I have a T £5 off moc for a £40 spend, then T will get £35 of my money (well, probably somewhat less for 11+ ers using other coupons ). Or I could do the same at A. That is the status quo, equal. T wants to attract me to shop with them rather than their competitors, so they take A and M cs mocs - this has got to be on top of the T £5, has to be a monetary incentive for me to shop at T, ie to take my spend down to £30, to create that incentive.

Misuse or misredemption of mocs can be combatted very easily by store staff being adequately trained to only accept mocs within their employers' ts & cs.

How about deja vu, daydreaming and have you ever gone somewhere (walked or driven) and thought, hang on how did I get here, I can't remember any of the journey.

Frequently, used to have to use two trains and two tubes to get to see OH before we were married. Never did work out how I managed to get throught he tube, most of the time had no recollection of the journey at all :rotfl::rotfl:

Just caught up. Planning to go to sainsbobs later as I've just fished my MOC out of my mum's recycling box, just as well it isn't collected until Monday or I would have lost out on my 50p Xmas pud. Thanks to the op who spotted the price change. I'll try to pick up some of the SK crisp things as DS SA able to print out 3 MOCs for them this morning. Kept telling him print limit reached but I told him to try an incognito window and it worked
HTH

Hello, What is this trick about the incognito window please?? Could be useful! Thanks in anticipation.:)

Oh that sends shivers down my spine, the very thought of eating a pickled onion, eugh:eek::eek::eek:

I love them - always have ever since I was a nipper. Reminds me of Hogmanay when they were stuck on a cocktail stick with a bit cheese and a wee sausage then elegantly shoved into a tin foil covered orange making it look like a hedgehog - classy party food of the 70s :rotfl:

Oh no it was a piece of pineapple with a cube of cheese on a cocktail stick in half a grapefruit covered in tinfoil. Far classier :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Yes i know what you are saying our "beef" with A was they were not taking Valassis coupons when the day before they did. Phone call to HO & they confirmed this but people are still getting these coupons through, nothing against them! My point i think im trying to make is why have a rule when it is not a rule? As i said earlier we are not making a big song & dance about it as we try not to be noticed when we shop so if we cant get these coupons used at A we will go where we can get them used

hope this makes sense
