    My vouchers arrived yesterday - similar to the others - one voucher valid from 15 Sept - 31 October for coffee and cake, and the other for either a regular hot drink and cake or the tote bag, valis 11 Nov - 21 Dec. Because of the wording I am presuming each voucher can be used regularly in the period available so will be scanned each time and given back, or if you choose the tote bag that voucher will be retained.
    What, exactly, in the wording gives you the impression that they would let you have an infinite amount of free tea and cake with these vouchers?

    Come on people, it's not difficult: lose means to be unable to find, loose means not being fixed in place. So if you have a hole in your pocket you might lose your loose change.

    But they always take the vouchers- which store doesn't do this? I think that either the person posting has never claimed the free tea/coffee before or they've seen a very untrained member of staff- on every occasion I've used my voucher they've asked for the voucher, taken it and put it in a designated paper voucher place on or near their tills.

    Yeah, mine too - they just glance at my card and pop the voucher straight in a pot. They don't even scan it.

    If they forget to take it off you, I can't see any reason why you couldn't reuse it, but otherwise..
  • I think a regular drink means a standard sized one as opposed to a large: not that you can get drinks on a regular basis, as often as you like, using the same voucher.

    :rotfl: Hadn't even crossed my mind that "regular" has two different meanings here- sort of an own-goal by JL for adopting the American phrase book despite being a famously "British brand"

    My vouchers came today. They are for 15th September - 31st October, and a free hot drink/cake or tote bag one for 11th November - 21st December.

    Ditto. My local JL is no longer local so.. meh.
    New to this money saving lark. Any tips greatly received.

    Recd 2 vouchers on Monday...

    One for a regular drink and cake between mid September and end of October.

    The other for either a drink and cake or exclusive tote bag between mid November and end December.

    I only received the 2 vouchers wheras some people seem to have had 3?
    Each voucher to be used over a 6 week period, they seem to have done some to use in December and others not in this period presumably to stagger the traffic over that busy period.
