I've been reading in bed but just caught up with the thread and thought I would put my sixpennyworth in.I always check for apgs after 3 hours but never put email in or print them.I always write the amount on the back of them.At the moment I'm 3 weeks behind with the printing.I've been doing this for over a year and have never had one that is a different amount.I'm not talking about a few but a lot of apgs per month.I have noticed some of the details have changed to n/a on a couple but the amount has remained the same.I alway print before the 28 days though.Tomorrow i am going to print the ones dated 28/09/13.

I lock in as soon as possible after 3 hours and as I am using the app, tend to send the voucher by email too for good measure :cool: - that way I know for sure it cannot change as it is printing money. I am not sure what benefit there would be in waiting to print as their system cannot be trusted - we are all happy when it glitches in our favour but that goes to show the system can play up and do unexpected things so I would not want to rely on their system integrity that my voucher would be available at a later date.

I was stung last year when something changed during the day and I inputted my receipt much later - as described above the glitch correction was back dated in the system as people reported buying after me (between 1 and 1.30 if I recall) and printing within 3 hours - theirs glitched as expected but mine, from a shop minutes before them, came back NA and the only difference seemed to be that I had delayed checking my APG which happened after the glitch was fixed.

It doesn't make any difference. The price file is locked in at the time the shop is made, not when the APG is entered. I'm also fairly sure the month is from the date of the shop, not the date APG is generated?

Not up to date yet but this used to be the c ase b ut not any more.
If the glitchy item is corrected between shop and input it now shows at the new price.
I missed out a while ago as I didnt input the apg til the next day and it was corrected overnight.

I think you are saying the same as me.The details might change but the apg amount is the same.

only if locked in. had I not checked them at the earlier time, I would have lost money

oozy

The snake deal has more or less bombed on 10ways.

The demographic of 10ways just isn't suited to APG shopping. If something as simple as the snakes cannot be seen as a great deal, what chance some of the more complicated APG deals.

Easily accessible deals are probably more suited to the 10ways crew and to a slightly lesser extent, HUKD members.

Hmmmmmm I've spent tonight sorting through A receipts and I'm feeling a little stressed.

How does everyone keep track of there Apgs?

I've actually got more than I wanted really and stressing out a little that I might not be able to recycle within the time limit.

In my mind I want these Apgs to create Apgs so I can use them for glitches etc I don't really want to spend them on normal shopping because it's like dead money then. Anyway I had a thought and I was wondering whether this would work

Go to A and buy normal shopping for just above the APG total and buy a gift card for the APG total. Pay with APG and the remainder in cash. Then repeat until all my Apgs are gone.

I am right in thinking I just can't buy a gift card with an APG?

I have a Word document I call "APGTracker". In theory, I update it everytime I get an APG voucher, with the date of the voucher claim and the amount of the voucher.:mad::rotfl::rotfl:

Yes, I can remember you saying that:D. I couldn't link to where you posted it though:rotfl:. It's an unusual situation but it could happen (and undoubtedly did as you said it did). I've not had it myself, but I suspect maybe some of the big 3 for 2 W glitches of Sep. 2012, they did change them to 'N/A' and then, briefly, capped the vouchers so maybe some 'locked in' comps. could be changed by that then? But, normally, no, the locked-in result (the APG amount) stays.

As regards not finding people's posts, I struggle even with this one thread!:o:o Trying to find post from earlier today, reply to mine (tried Google, normally works a treat, v.v. good Google search is, unlike Yahoo in my experience IMO, but not brought it up) - post said the Comfort Fab Cond was still £3 in their store and "may be store-specific" (perhaps my lack, or presence, of a hyphen confused Google??), I want to reply - my reply: "But, did it scan at £6.50?;)"

Okay. I can sleep soundly now having given the reply!!:D
(Not going just yet, still a bit of lurking and (irrelevant) Morries catching up - of last week's prices so I don't have to write everything down again this week that I newly got last time.;):cool:)

That was me ! I didn't scan it but the display was enormous at front door so hoping they had price right. I don't buy fabric conditioner. Kids and OH all have excema

You probably all know this but have been reading about people searching for the snake and thought I would post

if you search for it before you sign in, it should be there so just add to your basket. click on checkout and tthen you will be asked to sign in. select click and collect. it then shows you the nearest stores you can collect from. ( TOO far in my case)

another odd thing is that i can see the bombay pots and put them in basket for delivery or c & C from my local but despite having looked every visit since they glitched and asked staff they are nowhere to be found

Thank you:T. This is a succinct summary of what I said (was trying to say?) in the longest post I made in the last hour or so.
