Glitch at tesco, a load of codes and a freebie

24

Comments

  • I have opened multiple accounts, but only because I had genuine problems with our existing email addresses! I rang Customer Services about something and they said 'oooh you've lots of email addresses here' but I was just honest about why. I only do my shopping through our one main account though. I wouldn't deliberately open accounts for gain, and as a few others have said, tempting deal, but also passing on it.

    Thanks anyway OP! The deal is a good one and can be accessed legitimately by anyone without an existing Tesco account, so well worth it for some!

    How are people getting it to work without buying the meal deal?

    A post advocating fraud/dishonestly/deception and it gets 17 thanks (so far).

    How sad.
  • Tesco don't have too many ethics - if you look them up on the ethical consumer guide, they score very low! So I won't be buying from them anyway!
  • Thanks Claire. I haven't actually ever ordered from tesco before so this is brill.
  • When I get to confirming the payment stage, and have to put in my password to verify the bank details, it has the full amount before the discount is applied showing that is what I am going to pay, is this right? will the money be take off later?

    No,the codes need to be applied BEFORE you pay then it shows the updated amount ie: minus the 20 quid.

    as long as you've applied the codes and tesco see you as eligible they take them off after-the authorisation is to reserve that amount but they only take what is on your delivery invoice.
    So check your invoice when the delivery man/woman comes any issues with the codes not showing either send the shopping back or ring cust services.
    I've made many orders before and they show the full amount before discount codes.
