    I had two vouchers rejected on a self scanner - just said it wouldn't accept them - th e bar code on them both started with 912 - not sure if some codes won't go through. (it would save me the embarrassment another time!) (the bar code didn't end in 000)
    SW: Wk1 (5) Wk2 (2.5) Wk3 - Wk 4 (4) Wk 5 - (1.5) Wk 6 (1) Total off 1 stone!:j

    I remember someone here saying that scannable vouchers have to start with 99 - maybe that's why yours didn't work? :confused:

    I had a £5 off Tesco voucher for wines or baby stuff and put it through the self scanner without buying any of the named products and it worked just fine.
