    In the midst of doing my list, I have a correction to make.

    The Coffee Whitener 500g in M - the one with a few More points - and potential filler on Mvs A £1.67 vs £1.67.

    Turns out to be a jar in M and not sachets contrary to what I stated earlier.

    Oh well - with numerous items and prices being obtained, I'm bound not to get everything right. So, sorry if you were looking for sachets, it's in fact the jar one. Definitely *not* an item to put on Mvs T as T are more expensive (on their 500g jar).

    The "More" points are slightly better than the 10% cheaper from A, vs M. Although only when they make up an exact £5 worth in points:rotfl:.
  • I went to A earlier to have a play with the '2 for £8' gift sets but unfortunately they had no sock of the Nivea Gorgeous Skin Gift Pack that we hope will generate the £5.50 apg.

    However

    I scanned a few items and the two below came up as 'not recognised' and therefore look like they might be good trigger material.

    Anyone fancy it??:rotfl:

    First, the Aussie giftset

    Then the Dove Cherish Gift Set

    Right. I see where the issue is with the Nestle Rolo etc. desserts:D. The 2 pack (x70g) are £1.19 in M but the 4 pack are £1.00:rotfl::rotfl:. Allegedly.

    So Avs M, possibly, on the 4 pack ones.

    OMG, what a long post - I feel I ought to copy and paste and then print if off and then cut it into useful sections :D

    Still not had a proper play with Match and Moor but if the system picks up this price difference with Asda in theory you could buy 6 of these comforts for £19.50 plus your other bits of shopping to take you over the £20 marks.

    this would give you
    6000 bonus points = £6
    £3.25 - £2 = £1.25 in price matching points x 6 = £7.50

    so the till spit machine should give you two £5 vouchers and 3500 points on your card to build up for next time.

    Is this correct I wonder? I suppose it needs a tester who has is going to do a Morrisons shop anyway, taking the shop through self scan, need fabric conditioner so can buy some of this Comfort to take the total over the £20 marks. And then is brazen enough to go straight to customer services for a refund if they don't get a voucher and/or points

    Your receipt gives your points total up until yesterday so you wont really know if you have got the points until the day after your purchase

    The comfort does compare ,I have quite a few.
    Edited to add ,10000 points is the max in one transaction so you would lose 3500.
  • whilst my head is popped round the door has anybody who did the try me free on the sugarberry razor at £11 had a cheque from them yet?x
    We are many we are one xxx

    So that every single post that I contribute to this thread is on topic I would just like to say I am an elite 11+ member and I hear the unjust silence of my opinions whilst I am shopping in supermarkets mainly. Just sayin.

    £8 minus £5.50 on gift sets is £2.50, or £1.25:eek: per set. Won't these be lower priced than that after Christmas?:rotfl:

    I know - people may remember that was my original :doh: moment, after I first came onto the Elite threads, with a gift set glitch nearly two years ago, and I think someone later said well, after Christmas, they are cheaper anyway. So, maybe we ought already to have bought these all in January this year for the coming Christmas, and buy for Christmas 2015 in January next year:rotfl:. Best time, probably, to buy gift sets.

    Forgot to add , the points you earn does show on the receipt immediately.

    It's a fast moving thread and questions get missed.



    Re Tesco: go to the offers page, type Ctrl+F, then simply type "tomorrow" to search the page (you have to do a page at a time)
    Re Dr O: The only limit is how much paper/ink you have



    Possibly, it works with Next but M7S is a different store so it would need tested. Chances are no-one had tried and that's why no-one committed to an answer



    This did get 2 replies albeit your question wasn't specifically answered. It reads a little rhetorical to me though and as you were the first to get the till spit there is no way to know if it works or not, hence no-one committing an answer



    No idea, didn't do this one.

    I've gone back to January to answer your unanswered questions. :beer: Should I go back further or are there any other questions you've been sitting on? :p

    Welcome home :A

    So don't buy two of those Comforts but something else instead.

    Is that max. (I haven't got round to having a look) the maximum in total Match and More points, or is it just a cap on the Match points?

    I can only assume it is , in the blurb it says maximum 10000 points in one transaction , don't fancy trying it ,am quite happy with it at that.
