The Everlasting Loveliness (that) Is The Elite

Right, other than the change in wording over the returning of items (referred to earlier), the following from the T&Cs have IMO made substantive changes or are to note:

"8. The following products will not be included in the Asda Price Guarantee: Any products from the following categories:
[...]
Any products which we cannot fairly compare because of factors outside of our control (for example because a competitor has changed the way products are displayed on its website and mySupermarket has to change its technology to capture pricing information about such products)."

(Now covers the recent Waities situation? Also a possible 'boilerplate' for when M launches a website price service, possibly in case things don't go to plan with Msm's 'captures'.)

"16.4. When an item goes out of stock on our Grocery Website or a competitor’s, the Asda Price Guarantee will display the last price for up to 7 days, after which the product will not be compared (“N/A”)."

Part in bold may be a new thing? Used to be just the item going OOS on the competitor's website?

"19. .... Online customers can only compare your most recent homeshopping order."

"29. ... In Scotland vouchers cannot be redeemed against beers, wines or spirits."

Sorry Aau1!

In addition, the following from the introduction - "If an ASDA Price Guarantee check (a Check) shows that we're not 10% cheaper than our Competitors on your comparable grocery shopping we'll give you a voucher for the difference. Guaranteed!" - possibly the wording ("If...a Check shows...") may stop queries or disputes in the case of items not comparing when they 'should'. (I also notice, in this connection, the T&Cs now refer, on two separate occasions, to 'there may be some inaccuracies'.) Equally though, "if a Check shows" maybe if there were glitches in that check result, the check still showed!!:D:D (...It's what the Check shows that counts, not whether it's right or wrong.)

Also - good to know!:) - "Redeeming your voucher
[...]
28. You can use as many vouchers as you want in a transaction with us (including other types of voucher that we accept)."

So if you now ever have any problems on that score, can refer SA/CS to the T&C! Was merely in the FAQs before, but now (to our favour perhaps) in the T&Cs. So it's not all bad news at all!

Another example of someone at As not understanding the law and making up an unnecessary rule

Is it possible you have hit the £100 monthly limit?

I didn't go to print it, that is what is showed now that it would give me, whereas earlier it said I was entitled to £9+ I have now had advice on using the iphone app, so will do that if I do anymore shops. Not too expensive to learn more info suppose, at least it was only one shop out of 5 that was messed up

Hi Savo, ok, this is what I got (as copy typed from receipt:

Green Mark
Sweets (Barcode ending 939)
Giant Button
Sweets (Barcode ending 291 )
Starmix
tangfastastics
Gian Mice
Meat (this was the fajit)
Paper (for printer)

Paper is non-grocery so it doesn't count (unfortunately).

It's "comparable grocery shoppping".

"8. The following products are not included in the Asda Price Guarantee:
Any products from the following categories:
Home, Electrical, Furnishings, Garden, Entertainment, Hardware, Sports, Toys, George, Kiosk (including Tobacco, Newspapers and Magazines), Jewellery, Pharmacy, Optical, Fuel, Photo-processing, Dry Cleaning.[...]
"

It doesn't specifically say "paper" but I'd class that as "Home" and, in any event, I've always considered paper and other stationery to be non-grocery.

That said, all these fine categories as to what is or isn't grocery have always clicked in absolutely for me. Be aware that, just because an item appears on msm (and a lot more items, including paper and non-groceries now appear on msm.co.uk) doesn't mean that it will be in the APG. You still need to consider the 'excluded categories' (from APG) even after msm has them on its site. (I got caught out by that before - with some Cocktail Sticks apparently moving into the 'home item' category.)

Then again, the fine distinction and difference between "MSM" and "the APG" is another pedantic categorisation that just comes naturally to me.

The paper will be excluded as it's not a 'grocery' item.
(and possibly also
"[...]
Any products which are sold in our stores but not on our Grocery Website." (as regards one or more of those sweets - need to make sure they are on msm.co.uk before you shop and, as others advise me, get 2 or 3 more just in case a few disappear by the time you "Check" your receipt.))

[Edit: just wondering now: maybe the Creamfields Single Cream (300ml) 69p in T, will be N/A on T PP vs A??:eek::rotfl: and therefore a good filler on a T PP shop vs A.] Just because it compares under APG rules does not necessarily mean it is comparable under T PP's (different) rules. Putting :eek: symbol as that's very much of a risk: risking a return comparing to a price of £1.05:rotfl:.
