You will get more products if you are active on FB and Twitter and a blogger. The more your word is seen to get out there, the better.

Just a quick update- I've got to go in on Thursday for surgery to repair the nerve in my finger :eek:
So let this be a warning to everyone- if you cut your finger and notice numbness around or above it, get it checked out!!
Will have to catch up properly later on. Got to go back to work now and prepare for all that lovely time off :cool:
Good afternoon, hope all goes well for you, good that they are going to be able to repair it.:)The person who never makes a mistake never learns anything.0 -
Right - let's see if I can quickly clear it up before I go back to work on these:
- These vouchers are often home printed - If they are not then they are at work printed and skirting the wording;
- The vouchers scan fine in all supermarkets but SADA don't like them;
- Whether they accept them or not is up to the individual SA or manager;
- Some are printed better than others and some are double sided;
- They are not supposed to be for resale but eBay allows it;
- They are prints of coupons manufacturers send out to claimants or those thanking a product;
- They save you a hell of a lot of money;
- It is YOUR choice whether you use them or not.
Ultimately there is a huge debate about these as it's just like the WeightWatches meals vouchers. They were real, just like these vouchers are, but every time you reprint them, technically, they didn't intend for that and therefore they are not genuine.
However, the term fraud should not be used here. People buying them and spending them are trying to save money, not to defraud anyone.
Ask yourself the next time you click "it didn't print, print again" on any of your coupons, if what you're doing isn't exactly the same only on a much smaller scale.
Remember, each to their own - we're not here to judge. :A
EDIT - I have been investigating these and I am yet to know whether or not these £5 barcodes are in fact an almost generic code that people are printing onto any type of product. I have seen 6 different and all 6 have different codes so I'm not convinced.
What I am convinced by, however, is that iff you use them you are in for a major trouting some time. One seller alone on eBay has sold 10,000+ of these and that's 50K cost to the manufacturer- it can not continue.
EDIT 2 - The seller you linked sells the best coupons on ebay by far that to an SA, look just as good as those you cut from the Tesco magazine. I am sure he must be a printer-type person as the paper and ink are very professional.I am firmly across the line. I won't impose my values on you if you keep away from mine.

or you can get the 250 Mbps pair for about £25 (but I'd pay the extra £5, personally).
For anybody wondering, you can add on more adapters/ homeplugs so lots of different devices can plug into the same network.I Hate Jobsworths!!!0 -

Hi guys,
just wondering if someone could tell me - does the Asda APG site let you know if you try to claim more APG coupons than the allowed amount (ten, I think?). I've lost track of how many I've entered and don't want to embarrass myself in store if the coupon won't scan or something:o
thanks!
The APG system will block your coupon when you input your receipt if you have claimed 10 or more than the maximum price. ie it will not let you print the coupon! If it lets you print the coupon then you are still below the limit and it will scan in the store without any problems.
If you are worried about your limit you need to let your alter egos in on the act - I'm sure you have a few who have different addies and emails. I think you will get what I am trying to sayELITE 5:2
