Rose, the CEO doesn't give a flying f..eck about your pp,apg or bm voucher, nor whether it compared v anyone, he/she has bigger fish to fry.

TBH Rose, I think you have let greed take over sense.

Well going to the top has always worked for me frequent. You will get a reply if you copy in the CEO Rose, he has a whole office full of people sorting just this kind of thing out for him. I had a similar occurrence and got 15.00 giftcard, although they still could not give me any explanation as to why what I bought came back N/A. Even the promotions manager and the 'PP specialist' don't understand the terms and conditions! Keep calm and persist. XXX

Afternoon all,

A trip to T's earlier to use a few coupons

Tesco HH £5 off 40
Sains £4 off 20
Tesco PP £10
TOMS £4
Bavaria £1
Tresseme £1.20
Cat litter £0.50
Felix £10

£35.70 in vouchers.....the SA was stunned

and I got a £9.14 PP back

I did have to pay just a few quid for my shop though - Total before discounts £68.87

And a quick stop at S to pick up 2 x stainless steel flasks at 25p each. Thanks to the OP for that.

Blimey, looking at cars on gumtree, and someone has listed a honda civic with no T&T for £40, but must go today. You could pick it up, drive it to the scrap yard and easy make a hundred quid!

No tax, No mot.

What about insurance DM ?

Also looking at car prices on gumtree.

A 2.2 diesel auto or a 3.2 v6 petrol auto ? :cool:

The diesel is more expensive to buy and to fuel but does more mpg.

The petrol is cheaper to buy and fuel but does less mpg.

Over 5 years which equates to the better buy on 5000 miles a year ?

He cares.

Believe me.

Bad PR is bad PR and CEO has to turn around a rotten ship.

Just thinking about all the chat about complaining etc. when lurking before I posted on this thread one of the things I understood clearly was picking the right argument with cs and staying under the radar.

Do totally agree with the principle of this from an individual perspective. But uncomfortable to follow that line collectively - very British thing, not being able to compalin constructively Happen to think this is one issue that will run the course, so an issue worth pursuing. I suppose there a self-protectionist argument not to rock the boat so that the PP promotion (no matter how flawed) does not get pulled. But the investigation is already happening, and for ASA to be involved would mean that there are major and systemic breaches.

Shareholders are king and will dictate to the troops.

Very happy to agree to disagree on this one

I do mostly do seperate shops that's why I keep getting these ridiculous slips of paper saying I have saved ridiculous amounts.
[...]

Reading back, such a lot I want to reply to in the last couple of hours:mad:. In no particular order - those "ridiculous" slips of paper are there for the average customer, who mixes their shopping in one lot and pays way over the odds on some items but makes a saving on others (compared to the exact same size of the product elsewhere) and way way too much on items that aren't comparable, with the comparable part of their shopping cheaper than elsewhere (since they picked up what looked like good 'offers' in the store they were in), when in fact had they picked a different size, that was on half price elsewhere, and compared vs that, they would have saved far more.

However, the customer can be told they have 'saved' so much shopping where they have and thus - as they 'know'* they are saving money at that chain - return to buy (and probably pay over the odds again) at the same store. Most people just 'haven't got the time' to be shopping as we do and, if they did, I'm sure those promise promotions wouldn't stay in place how they do. (*or the term is "are reassured").

He cares about the boil on his neck and the share price when he can exercise his options.

It was when I went to the CEO that I got my nicely upgraded PC for the same price plus one for free they sent by mistake lol

Always pays to go to the guy who kicks asre when you've got a legitimate complaint that the CS people are dissing you about. :cool:

Dont even consider a diesel if you only do 5000 a year.
