Sorry to hear that SFSB. Is it worth ringing Adsa house to see if you can get it lifted.

Unfortunately the manager told me that they had contacted Asda House and they confirmed my local's decision..:(:(

However, it has been an amazing ride for the last three or four years and I have made/saved thousands..:beer::beer:

It is a very, very sad day for me today and I have no idea if/how it will affect my future Elite shenanigans..:(

I went into my local A this morning for some normal shopping with my wife and daughter to get some bits for a bbq. I noticed a woman that I knew to be management looking in my direction and speaking to someone on her mobile.

Anyway, we carried on putting various bits in our trolley and 5 minutes later, this manager pulled me aside and asked if she could talk to me privately.

She told me that what I have been doing is not in the spirit of the apg scheme and I am therefore, from today, banned from using apg vouchers in the store. This is my only store within 20 odd miles so this decision effectively kills off instore glitching for me.

Probably my own doing as I got too friendly with some SAs (to make spending large apgs easier), however, it appears that some jealous SAs overheard conversations and went to management.

Might have to have a voddie or two tonight to get over the shock..:o:o

No problem, emails and paypal

Not good for you SFSB.

But I do think the way it was handled by the manager was quite respectfully done compared to some of the stories I have read here.

I'm really sorry to hear this SFSB.

Did they say exactly what is "not in the spirit of apg" - buying glitchy shops or wombling? I know some stores are critical of wombling.

Could you not get your partner to do your shops for you?


Its a real shame you only have 1 local store.

Sorry mate. Can you expand on how largr the apg were?

Had a similar experience when tesco would take mocs against, Then again was doing 3 £50 shops a day for pennies. Those were the days.

Apgs generally under a tenner, so no real issues there. Think it was just the amount of times I was in there, my friendliness with some staff and jealousy of other staff that was my downfall.

Wobble from 3/5

2 for £2 biscuits multi, only one showing on APG AvM or AvT

1 x Fox's Triple Bars (10 per pack - 178g) £1.59 £1.00

Two barcodes on receipt are:
501003505808L
500016818732L

If we can identify which is the missing one it is a trigger and 69p back on the APG, so £1.31 for both packs.

Did mention from my internet exile that the gold bar did not show on apg

This was yesterday I brought wagon wheels and gold bars and got 70p back on APG v tesco

Really sorry to hear this, this is terrible news you are not actually banned from the store though, is that right? You just cannot use APGs?

Yep, ok to use the store and spend cash, just not ok to spend vouchers.
