Could it be that another glitch will start in 2 days' time?
Your post suggests - to me - that the computer could still be malfunctioning. They've not necessarily done anything: it's probably still in the process of picking up more multibuys.
There are now (7pm) 3,585 multibuys for me (logged out) so, if this does mean something, this will probably be a 'blip' that doesn't last that long. Depends what time you saw the low multibuy number, and how long it had been that way before you noticed it.
So far the 'two day delay' theory seems to be holding up - the absence of multibuys last Friday night, into Saturday, was quite a long period, and very low number (38 or 40 odd) for quite some time. Cathedral has its multibuy back two days ago (I think-check what time I posted info. of this) but, in the meantime, multibuys were on and off other products which may have caused glitches on them, or 'the glitch' in general to last over several days.

I think it is probably the case that A isn't even aware of the glitch. Although it's on here, and hence to the whole world on the internet, it's not common knowledge and I think, rather than someone actively fixing it, it's more that the computer has corrected itself now and picked up the multibuys once more. MSM have already been aware of issues of A multibuys not showing on their site previously, dating some time back, so they do know of the general issue, but I doubt they even know it has occurred just now and the fact that are already aware, as a general issue, but months or possibly a year later, the issue still happens again means that it is a technical issue that happens occasionally and they don't know what the cause is or how to stop it. If they do know, there may be patches put onto the system, but they themselves resolve (or not) some issues and create (or change) other ones instead.

The good news, for us, is that the multibuy glitch will be back at some point (whether for a day or a little longer) and should hopefully allow us to stock up, at very little cost, every few months for the foreseeable future.:j:j Hope everyone got enough of what they need, to last them through to the next time it occurs on those items. Certainly better than any half price special offer that occurs every month or two!

So do you think savvy, that the amount of time that the multi buys are not showing affects how long the glitch lasts? Thats why this one lasted so long?

Yes, absolutely. If the one that's been spotted this lunchtime, but soon after, there were 1000+ multibuys and now several thousand, it may only last part of a day or a few hours - depends when you do your shop and (possibly) the time you enter the receipt in.

As regards buying now the glitch is over, but entering when the multibuy is off again (or two days after the multibuy goes off, or the day when others confirm it is a glitch day), this may not work: I had one receipt two or three months back, with a multibuy item that later went on a glitch, I waited till glitch day and entered it - but it returned with the multibuy. Glitches worked on receipts from that day, but not from shops done on a previous day. (Which raises the point - unresolved - of when a day starts and ends - e.g. what if a shop was done early hours of a glitch day, but before the glitch has entered the APG system, assuming that it even works that way?)

Evening all :wave:

Sorry to read Mr A has put and end to all of your fun Hope you all got stocked up nicely.
I've not participated in an As glitch yet, bit too much time and effort required in the circumstances. Hoping for a nice easy Mr Ts mess up next

Got £4 voucher back on my T.com shop after i complained about being sent 6x568ml packs of Bulmers instead of 8x568ml packs and being charged the same. Ended up costing £6 for 12 bottles :T Quite happy with 50p per pint :beer: Will be even better when I can have one. Hope DH hasn't necked them all by then :cool:

Not been feeling too well today. Chesty cough and low grade fever Have been monitoring things closely and stressing all day that i'm going to end up admitted for IV antibiotics. Thankfully temp down a little at the moment though did get within 0.1 degree of me needing to go in :eek: I even bailed this afternoon and got MIL to come and help so I could go to bed. Feeling a little better after a rest.

Hopefully the injection I was given at the hospital to stimulate my white cells yesterday will start to work soon Think they messed up though :eek: They gave me the super duper one I was supposed to having after my chemo but it's long acting. Have read chemo should not be administered until 14 days after it is given..... maybe i'm looking at a 2 week rather than 1 week delay. It just gets better... Have tried to contact specialist nurse but no reply. Time will tell I guess.

3Dogs, hoping for some calmer days ahead for you and your family. Hope your brother is improving :A

Thinking of Tinyshoes and hoping you're looking after yourself :A

Sending healthy vibes to FloFlo, artha, Enterprise and anyone else feeling under the weather :A

logie, you're such a brave girl, really hope you're feeling better soon and the fever subsides :A
