    I won walnut whips & bubbly santa - better than nowt I suppose but don't think M & S have been overly generous this year :(

    Aw, I won zilch :(

    If I've not received the remaining 4 by this time next week I'll wipe the floor with them

    They've already given me all my card numbers so there ain't a whole lot I can do this time round

    They did that to me too, I replied saying that it had been more than 28 days since I ordered, I have given the other items as gifts and if my money for the lyb cards wasn't refunded immediately I would be contacting my card issuer to start a charge back for non-delivery. I had an email back very shortly after apologising for inconvenience and refunding me the lyb £10s.

    APG can't cope with a competitors "Buy X get Y free" deal if the items are priced differently in the competitor. The APG can't accurately decide which item to give free so everything comes up as N/A

    Even if you buy 3 things that are priced the same it doesn't matter because the offer is completely excluded so long as items on offer are priced differently

    All I did here was search for the garnier product in T, click on the 3 for 2" banner and noticed that some things are not £6, therefore teh whole deal will be excluded from APG


    eg the Doritos 2 for 1 deal in T is being recognised because all items are priced the same
    Thank you for explaining this, if have I understand you correctly every item in the product range would have to be the same price.
    Example shampoo is £1 in all hair types, buy 2 get 1 free =£2
    Competitor does not have buy 2 get 1 free deal on offer, so you would get an apg for £1 ?
    Or have I totally misunderstood ?:)

    You get a code to type in :)

    Thanks!

    If I win one I'm gonna give it to my sister as a birthday present. She was born on Christmas Eve so it's difficult to buy for her on a budget as I always like to get her two sets of gifts. An extra pressie would be great so I hope I'm lucky.

    Gutted M&S has finished. But seems like walnut whips and bubbly santas were the only prizes?

    No, best i can tell you seem to think the item has to be on offer in A and not in a competitor . :huh:

    If a competitor has 10 different items includied in a 2for 1 deal then all 10 have to be the same price for any of them to be compared on APG.
