    The packs of 10 black or 10 assorted colours are half price in Sainbury's right now, so only £1.49. Receipt specifies BIC 10 Cristal pens half price, so shouldn't be any problem using this receipt to claim


    HTH someone!

    So is it ONE pen or the whole TEN pack you need to use up? x

    They use pen in the singular...

    Thanks, I was just getting confused with the wording, thought it may mean each pen bought

    "Each eligible (in accordance with paragraph 2 below) BIC® Cristal® Medium ball point pen must be deemed to have been legitimately finished and not tampered with in any way"
    If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got... :p

    :rotfl: I like this bit in the Ts&Cs:

    iv. The outer casing, nib, ballpoint and top of the pen must all be intact and not tampered with in any way and must not be chewed.

    Who chews down on a ballpoint pen! :eek:

    My receipt from Tesco just says "ball pens 10pk" £3.40. They were £5-
    ish in WHS, and neither shop had the promo packs.

    does it matter if they just stop working for you? I get through so many biros, not because they run out but because they block themselves, leak or just stop working despite there being enough in in them (possibly dry out?)

    Not sure whether to try this or not, never finished a pen yet, as they always stop working for me, and I just bin them.

    T&C say the pen needs to be empty.

    :o

    Not much help but these BICs are 25p for a 5 pack in T€sc0
    Barcode ends in 0756
    Buy 2 packs for 50p - would they still qualify?

    The 8 pack of pencils are 10p Barcode ends 4020
