    Agree.

    Although it's not clear-cut:(. I have one store where even a fiver off a £20 spend raised more than an eyebrow, and then I've also had £12+ ones be taken with no question (or eyebrow - unless I missed it:( (which I probably did!) (autism)).

    Is it not also different regarding online shopping?



    There is no £15 cap (unless you are referring to a very brief period in the past when there was). If you have a totally correct comparison, the limit is £100 (your sole voucher claim of that month:D).

    That is what I thought so thank you for that! Also, I have had a few 20 quidders instore and nobody has said anything at either of my stores. Must be less trouty around here :rotfl:

    Hi chrisv, I don't remember the 15.00 cap. What is that?
    .
    APGs were capped at £15 for a while due to people going batcrap crazy with greed.
    Tescos various vouchers were unlimited, then £20 max, now £10, for exactly the same reason.

    As Dotty said, it depends where you draw the line.

    I don't think I have ever, or will ever see Chrisv suggest that you should order things just to refuse them.

    My line is that I would never order anything with the sole intention of refusing it for an apg. Ordering a £50 toothbrush that you have no intention of keeping and expecting a £27.50 apg is downright dodgy to say the least!!

    Glitching is a game. You will lose a few, but win a hell of a lot more. Play by the rules and you and the rest of us will be coining it in for a long time to come..:):)

    No no no, you read me wrong. I didn't say Chris said to order with the intention of refusing. Just to refuse if it was 5.20 on receipt, not 3.00. Which is exactly what I did. I copied exactly what Chris advised in the post you quoted. And I appreciate that advice. I was merely trying to explain how hard it is to pick up on the rights and wrongs when there is conflicting advice around.
    As for the toothbrush - I kept it! I am not the proud owner of an electric toothbrush and sada subbed me anyway! I don't know who the op was about that but I've seen several purchases of them over the past few days. And no negative comments until now. But if you read my posts they are unwarranted.

    Don't take it personally at all

    Different folks have different lines. We won't always agree and some of us (myself included) can even change our public stance :o)

    As long as people don't get nasty the thread can continue to be a happy, supportive, informative place ;)
