    Shouldn't matter

    As it's over £15 A's had an opportunity to withhold/investigate but chose to issue the voucher anyway
    No but if it is obviously glitchy she may not want to draw anymore attention to herself as in spent £21 and x store was £20 cheaper.
    Each to their own.
    Long time since I have done an apg shop but was keeping them under £10 myself

    I was doing a genuinje shop with a glitchy voucher. The vouchers i'd got were from a pantenne 3 for 5 shop.
    If it was a genuine shop get in touch with head office
    Oh the embarrassment etc etc and the young ones had to go without tea/nappies/vodka etc :D

  • I agree with AAUU. It should not matter.. If Asda are going to issue #20.00+_ apgs.. Then at the same time, say you can on.ly spend 15.00 at one time, how can you spend the 20.00? Would you get 5.00 back onto a gift card? worth investigating tomrowo

    Goes against some advice on here, but as you haven't used it, couldn't you return the items on the APG receipt (and build a smaller one).

    I try and keep them under £10 too, I hate it when they won't scan straight away, it seems to put them under more scrutiny.

    My last glitchy shop was JCs and that was ages ago. :eek:

    Yes. That's one option. But i'm determined to stand my ground. After all, it IS a price PROMISE!! I got stuff we would normally use. ie. bath stuff Sanex, cofee, etc. It s all above board. I'm going to go and visit another asda tomorrow and will use it there. But I will still ring Asda main head offic asking if tis true that they have imposed a 15.00 limit!
