    I always worry a bit about the volume that I'm putting through the same shop each month that is why I try to keep the amount under £8.I've actually printed 66 this month,used 44 and have about 20 to print:eek::eek:

    To be clear, I didn't say I don't worry about it too, as I generate and use "a few" each month (week) :eek:

    Hopefully they will get the app sorted so that it scans again.

    Incidentally, if any iPhone users haven't upgraded their iOS to 7.1.1 this week it apparently corrects a bug ... some inaccuracy on the keyboard (I think I mentioned that my typing had become more inacccurate over recent weeks ... now I know why and I wasn't just making excuses for typos!).

    It's staggering isn't it? I think they were acting on behalf of the council in those cases though, not private firms? I don't really know very much about how it works to be honest.

    I do remember whilst I was writing a blurb for the 'talent agency' website hearing my boss yelling down the phone at a woman who had the audacity to appeal her ticket. The language he used....but then again he liked to do that, yell at women. Sure this programme won't go into that though!

    He seems like a twonk (if it's the same guy I'm watching) :p

    Own up...who goes to A and, only now, leaves their receipt from 15 August last year?:( I checked it, to see if there was any information from a previous APG but, no luck... not eligible anymore as over 28 days old.

    On another shop, I can confirm this 1L Robinsons was still showing full prices for A from a shop done early this afternoon:

    Vs T
    2 x Robinsons Special R Orange Squash with No Added Su... £2.98 £2.50

    Nil return on that womble though, as, vs T, they bought that Comfort Fabric Conditioner (yawn...) that's significantly more expensive at T. Otherwise, vs M, they bought last week's special offers rather than this week's:(:(.

    Hopeless(:rotfl:).

    I'm sure that the muggles fall for that baseline price of £1.49 as they see the individual price of £1.49, regardless of whether they then get 1 or 2, and think it means it's cheaper than the ones with the individual prices of £1.69, even though the mbuy price is exactly the same. They see the £1.49 rather than seeing the greater multibuy saving that, in theory, ignoring the fact it's overpriced at £1.69 anyway, means they are saving more on a product that's worth more than the other (£1.49) version. Of course, I'm referring to multibuy savings in terms of the way the muggles shop and not multibuy savings for Elite purposes:).

    Perhaps I've made a long, complex argument in that last paragraph, that could have been put in some clearer and more succinct manner. I've probably lost the point I am trying to make, that there is a psychology as why the £1.49 individual priced ones sell more even when the mbuy option is being taken up, and therefore the price is the same (in terms of muggles payments not ours;)), and that the individual price £1.49 can make no difference sometimes as to whether people take up the mbuy or not, as people often miss the mbuys and still end up overpaying. Consumer psychology. That's my point:rotfl:.

    But the voucher could be printed over and over again and it's my details on the original receipt:o

    Sorry, but why would you use your own personal details on the Asda site? What's the point?

    Sorry to requote myself but does anyone know the answer to this please?
    tia

    I was going to answer you earlier but decided against it as you might not like my answer :o I thought someone else would answer you.
    As you have been ordering things and rejecting them and their subs regularly.....thus getting a refund AND an APG for items. It might be best to let this slide. Querying it might draw attention to your account and the fact you have been doing this.
    I personally think this is a dodgy practise and goes beyond just buying glitchy stuff.

    I know people will say well the system lets you do it so it's ok. It's not true that you can't get into trouble just because the system lets you abuse it....you can. It's like saying it's ok to burgle someone's house because they left the door open.....

    I'm not judging you, just my opinion. I'm sure others will have a different one. If you've been getting refunds and APGs, then you haven't lost anything really, have you?

    I hope I haven't offended you.
