Tesco Clothes Coupon Thread. Read First Post For Updates!

Thank you for posting, tesco_vicky. The problem with all forums is that it's easy to misunderstand people. MSE is a great site and I'd like to think nobody would talk down to you or make you feel uncomfortable. I personally appreciate your input and am sure you will find this site useful too.

OMG I can't believe someone got arrested for what you said!!! Surely that's illegal???

I agree with you Dormouse, forums and emails are notorious for being misunderstood. It is good to remember that the problem isn't usually the tone that something is written in, but the tone that it is read in. IYSWIM

Try reading the offending message a couple of days later and you will usually read it differently.

things that are written down can be read sooo many ways! its so easy to misunderstand a post's tone.. thats why i try to use the smilies.. it kinda puts the tone of my post across..IFSWIM

hmm yeah I do tend to take things out of context, but I generally use the rule that if someone says 'I don't want to criticise...' etc then they generally do! maybe a bit of an overreaction but it was annoying me when I was reading the posts before I joined that people were asking questions that i knew the answer to, so I join to help them out then get told that I am wrong! well if I am wrong then the entire tesco workforce (and therefore tesco itself) is wrong cos we all get the same training!

yeah its true. I think that tesco dropped the charges though. It wasn't illegal cos they classed it as some crime or other...obtaining property by deception maybe? all for tesco clubcard coupons that they have to spend in tesco anyway!

oh, i probably should point out that he asked for a refund like 20 minutes after he bought it, on 2/3 occasions...its not something that they would do to just anyone...(well, at least I think they wouldn't, but who knows with tesco!)

I would be very grateful if someone could answer the following;

Has anyone ever purchased 'gift vouchers' to make there shopping bill up and successfully used wardrobe coupons to do this??

e.g. shopping bill comes to £52, therefore purchase £8 voucher to take bill up over the £60 so that all £26 can be used??!!

I saw someone at the til doing something like this today but wasn't sure what her total spend was prior to the gift vouchers.

Thanks in advance and Happy New Year!

P.S. Kronen and Leadhead, what made you convert from being a MOC experts to POINTS collectors?? I'm intrigued!!:rotfl:

Hi there newish... Was buying my nan a £20 gift card today so threw in £10's worth of clothes with it.. The £6.00 wardrobe coupon would not scan...

As vicky has rightly said gift cards do not count as a qualifying spend .. But there is never a definite answer until tried & tested !!!

It was on the round when we had all coupons of £6.00 electricals/clothes, H&B & SB that it was possible to purchase gift cards for free as came from the excess money off on the h&b & SB... Looks like we've seen the last of those days but there's always hope.

Myself a points collector instead of moc user .. As Leadhead has rightly said.. I've always been a points collector.. I stopped when all coupons above were out.. already handing over 26 mocs & shifting £60 + worth of goods 3 x a day I didnt want to hang about for point coupons to be scanned as well.

Just going with the flow.. H&B is no good unless it's free when you have a loft fall so vits it is.
