Voucher / Coupon Question

Hi all,

I understand that you can use vouchers from one supermarket in another, however does the minimum spend still apply?

For example, I have a £3 off a £20 shop for Sainsburys, if i was to use this voucher in morrisons, do i have to also spend £20 or could i for example spend £3.50 and only have to pay 50p??

    They will only honour the original offer.
    So you must spend £20

    Interesting question and would be nice if it worked as you suggest (£3 off £3.50).
    I've used a few in Morries and the conditional spend ones I've always took it to the spend on the coupon, ie £3 off £10 Tesco coupon.
    I suppose you may get lucky, but I would imagine the terms on the coupon would still apply??
    When using a Tesco one yesterday, the till op checked and checked it wasn't a Tesco clubcard coupon.

    You could buy something dearer like clothes or pans etc you don't want and chance a refund .............................. but that would be cheating. :D
    A little time consuming also for £3.
