Waitrose new minimum spend for newspapers

Mee

Just noticed this on the Waitrose website:

Money off your shopping when you buy selected newspapers



From 26 April, the minimum amount that you need to spend in store to receive money off your shopping with selected newspapers will be £10.


When you spend over £10 in store or £50 online you can get money off your shopping when you buy one of the following newspapers:
The Daily Telegraph, The Sunday Telegraph, Daily Mail, The Mail on Sunday, Scottish Daily Mail, The Scottish Mail on Sunday, The Guardian, The Observer, The Times and The Sunday Times.

Up from £5 then. Still a good deal IMO even if they want you to spend money with them, I've found if you shop right and you wont spend any more than shopping in the other supermarkets.

I think it's £10 over a week. You don't have to spend it all in one go. You then get the following week's papers free.

It's not. It's £10 per transaction and one free paper per transaction.

Just had an email about this.

From tomorrow 28 May you only need to spend £5 Monday to Friday.
Saturday and Sunday are remaining at a minimum £10 spend.

Worked today on £5+ spend without a problem.


Has anyone worked out if it works when you include a free drink in the £5 total? Looks as though it might, as the drink & newspaper are taken off at the same point - would mean only making an actual £1.80 spend in real money.

It works. I tried it when the min spend was £10, last week. I think that's why the weekend spend is staying at £10 because if it is £5 then u only have to spend like 30p (in some cases) to get a free paper & drink!
