New £4 printable book coupon from DM

paul.carter

For those who have success with printable coupons the Daily Mail are again this month offering unlimited £4 notes. Didn't try it last month due to having bought a shed load of the newspapers anyway. Expires at the end of June.

Incorrect.

Tesco SHOULD NOT ACCEPT this voucher (printed off the web or the "real" one actually from the newspaper) under any circumstances. If they do it is "by chance" and "in error"

Don't be surprised to get it turned down even if you have bought the book.
I've already seen it happen twice today.

The voucher cannot be redeemed by TESCO because they are not members of The Booksellers Association. (as listed at https://www.nationalbooktokens.co.uk)

Shops that are members who will get £4 back for each voucher they accept, include WHSmith, The Works, Waterstones

As far as Tesco are concerned, you might as well hand over a piece of paper that has a short message on it, handwritten by yourself, that says "Please accept this scrap of paper as part payment for my shopping - value to customer £4 - value to Tesco £0"

I sincerely hope that these Daily Mail vouchers - printed or "real" - are NOT redeemed at Tesco in any significant quantities otherwise their "none bought product" coupon policy will go the same way as R&R, once they work out how much money if being lost.

PLEASE DON'T BREAK IT !!!!

Use coupons that Tesco can pass on to their wholesalers/manufacturers which allow them to actually collect the face value of the voucher

I think CA was a typo. It should have been SA=Sales Assistant.

Are the coupons from the website real or just to see what the coupon is supposed to look like?

I just thought because everyone was using them they were valid at tesco and I wouldn't have use one without getting the book anyway.

According to Nov/Dec 2005 issue of 'Bookselling Essential' The journal of the Booksellers Association, all 698 Tesco stores became new members of the Booksellers Association in 2005.

Therefore, should this still be the case, and as yet I have googled nothing to the contrary, as members they can reclaim the value of the booktoken and their profits remain undented. As such this token appears to be no worse than any other and I feel happy that we should continue to use it.

Should anyone have any evidence to the contrary, for example Tesco left the Association after one year then please let us know.
