What if it was your MIL?!
PS - I'd pocket it straight away. I do, however, give conditional spends to loads of people if I'm not suing them and I also leave money off coupons on the shelf next to products I won't buy.
I've also got a lost of 30 people on my email who I Email all the top deals to tyo let them in on it. Share one, share all!

That means that most vouchers are no use to anyone else.
What's wrong with us OLD MEN????
I thought this but its wrong, the nectar card simply generates the coupon based on previous shoppers history (12 months.) I was told by Sainsburys customer service after many enquiries - that if I should find a coupon (For a conditional spend, points/money off products etc.) to use it, and even approach family to use coupons they will not redeem. Even to start a new nectar card if I was unhappy with the coupons I was being offered after 5+ years of shopping at the same store.
We have looked in great depth because I was so annoyed about not being offered good deals. The barcodes for redemption are the same, the only trackable information is done via the left hand side of the till split, store number, date, and till number.
I most certainly use any I find.

I love these dilemmas even the silly ones its the first place i look on the emails.:D
I'll also give pay&display tickets with a lot of time left to anyone I see parking up (given a choice I tend to give it to the person in the older or crappier car rather than the person in the 63 plate Range Rover mind), or if nobody around stick them to the coin slot on the machine. That one probably is naughty though.
However, it is my belief that the ones received through the post (or email?) are linked to the loyalty card in question, so cannot be swapped.
When I get these vouchers they are usually for a very small amount, always under a pound and often just pennies, since I don't usually buy expensive brands. I must admit I usually throw them in the bin anyway
Do the vouchers say on them "not transferrable" or something like that? If not, how can it be fraud? It's not like you have to pretend to be anyone else to use them!
