    I've never had a problem with Waitrose accepting vouchers but I have had instances where a free product voucher scans at a slightly lower value than the price of the product.

    Although I did have one instance of a cashier saying "I've not seen one of those before" in a newly opened Waitrose store where the voucher said only valid in Waitrose, which could be interpreted as a polite way of saying "Where did you get that from?"

    Redeemed my coupon in Spar this morning, the checkout teenager was a bit reluctant but when the supervisor arrived he scanned the barcode and said 'What's your problem?' to him :)

    Hooray, it's working. Voucher printed. Does anyone know if this can be used with a bottle of Sprite Zero? I don't drink sugary drinks. If not I'll get a bottle of the normal stuff and pass it on :)

    Used mine in Tesco tonight and got Sprite Zero without any problems. They are currently £1.15 each or 2 for £2 :beer:

    These are 2 for £2 in Co-op, just used my voucher & got £1.37 off so 63p for the 2nd bottle

    I tried to use mine in the co-op and it wouldn't scan. The man asked the person on the next till "Should I accept this?" to which she replied "I don't know. I've not seen one of those before." He then asked someone else who said "Yes as long as it's not expired."

    I don't know why vouchers should scan in your co-op branch but not mine.

    The coupons I have printed have been 2 different sizes depending on if I printed them in IE or Chrome

    The size of the bar code shouldn't affect whether it scans or not. Look at the size of a bar code on a Nectar/Tesco CC key fob compared to the size of one on a card, yet both scan the same.
