    Weird result when I tried to print the coupon

    A dialog came up asking me to save some sort of java script ? file (extension .jnlp ? )

    I saved this & now when I click on this file it allows me to print the coupon repeatedly !

    So much for their 'print once' security measure

    The problem is that the bar code is the same on each coupon so may be rejected at the til if you try to use more than once.

    Thanks, for some reason the voucher it printed is tiny about the size of a matchbox even though the rest of the page seems fine, going to have to hope the till operator has good eyes :p

    If the barcode is too small to scan then it will be rejected unless you can convince the cashier to take the amount off manually

    My print out is fairly small too but I still think the barcode will scan & the terms and conditions are just about readable

    You can always try scanning it into your PC & resize it

    As far as trying to use it more than once (in the same shop) - its not the scanners that are the issue (if it scans then it will scan again) its the cashier who has to authorise it - more often than not the cashier will kick up a fuss & reject them if you try to use more than, say, a couple even if the terms & conditions do not preclude using more than one - best thing to do is stay under the radar & don't get greedy

    In the past I have read posts on here & hotukdeals about people boasting how they managed to a dozen or more of the same coupon in a single shop - Im sure it does happen occassionally but I think you need to be very lucky with the staff who are serving you - admittedly Ive never tried it & never will as I dont want to risk being banned from the store

    Personally I never use more than a couple of the same coupon (when allowed) every shop & even that can start pushing the envelope if you visit too regularly

    Even self service tills do not help that much eg you can only scan at most 2 coupons at both sainsburys & tesco before the machine starts asking for cashier authorisation ( even worse all coupons have to be cashier authorised at Asda )

    the one thing you should never do is use coupons that will scan but will later be rejected when the supermarket sends them off to get the cash for them - all that happens then is that the supermarket will stop accepting ANY printed coupons ( its happened at my local Asda )

    Only if the barcode is "personalised" to you. If it is the same barcode for everyone then they have no idea who is redeeming them , and so no way of knowing if one person has printed a lot.

    Can anyone confirm if the barcode is personalised. I dont think they are - the one on the coupons I have printed is 991489137000
  • No the barcodes aren't personalised. My coupon has the same barcode.

    Cheers - so shouldnt be any problems printing and redeeming as many as you want ( as long as you only do one per transaction )

    Printed this today but decided to try and redeem in Tesco with my weekly shop on Thrsday so it doesn't look like I'm just going in to get a free product. I did notice they are on offer in Tesco so effectively you can get two for 71p using one free voucher. My computer only let me print this once, unless I delete cookies I guess then it will work again
