    SA said she had to get it checked, then came back and said manager would come over. The manager said it was fake! I told her to take me to a computer and we could put the details in to the APG system. She said she had already checked and its a fake. She then glanced at another APG and said that that was a real one. :rotfl: haha i said what from just glancing you know :rotfl: apperantly she did but she couldn't tell me how she knew because she wasn't allowed. Any over £5 need checking, what about the £7 one i just put through? Its just come in:eek: what this second?? haha anyway we just took vouchers back and walked out.
    I'll use it tomorrow when I go pick my free Udis up ;):beer:

    I wonder, was the "fake" one over £10?
    Supervisors and managers have been heard to whisper to each other that you can tell it's a fake if the numbers on the barcode don't match the value:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I was told point blank that one of mine was fake, just by looking at it because it was for £10.xx and the barcode had 99999 on it. I've explained about how having the value appear in the barcode only works for under £9.99, that's why you need to input it manually when it's over a tenner, but they have no idea <rolls eyes>

    It's only a game

    Glad I'm not the only one. My Mum's account has all vouchers present and correct already. Mine? Not a thing.

    SSFB - so sorry to hear of your experience. I am sure many of the elite could tell similar stories but are not brave enough to post it like you! Thank you for sharing all your glitches on here. Remember all good things come to an end but also one door closes another one opens! Mr. T to me was amazing in the good old days of coupons and dtd and my world ended when it come to an end. But you have to diversify. I now concentrate on yellow labels and this can be just as fulfilling. This morning I got 3 tins of dented pineapple at 10p each. Not quite in your style but something to give you a little buzz. Your expertise is amazing so I am sure you will find other loopholes for us to take advantage of. Having a stash is very satisfying.

    I'm not liking the random ordering of the new APG, splitting up the Doves and the Olays :mad: The old one would have kept similar items together.

    In case anyone is wondering, I'm trying to reignite my juicing obsession which is the reason for all the fruit and veg. My diet is appalling and its taking a toll on my health :o

    Oh you don't need to worry about that one - msm has been constantly reordering and splitting up different items of the same brands for many years and an annoyance it is having to sort them back out for my Morries list:mad::mad::rotfl:.

    I went to A today. I decided, quite rationally, that I could use four different Radox to "reduce the rest of the bill" and that the "rest of the bill" would then only have to be 4 different items rather than 8. It makes sense. I noticed that the Radox in my store have a blue background "New!" on the shelf and that they all show just the full price £1.90. So, you'd never know....! (...That they are on an mbuy.) I was on the right track just last week. I got caught at one of my As at rush hour and so I spent a few minutes wandering round the store and having a look at what I could see - I saw quite a few items marked "New!" on the shelving, with blue background labelling. None of them were marked with any mbuys though, so I couldn't see anything from there. The idea was that, if they were on mbuy, they might be not yet on the system and therefore invisible triggers. I like new items:D. However, not a patch on having them both appear and both compare from full price!:T

    (I now notice I could have, should have!, had Brunch bars too, but didn't know about them at the time but never mind.)

    We'll always need handwash in due course though (especially as they are so mean and only put a meagre 250ml in the bottles:rotfl:). I think I can make do with some more Radox handwash, and pretend that they are different ones to the handwash that I already have.:D

    Hope someone has replied by now. I have no idea so generally do not comment

    Thank you MrsMac (and others who responded). It seems it should not count, but no guarantee. No problem, I am not planning to go mad anyway.

    :rotfl:

    As long as there are two systems running at the same time asking them to check validity is risky

    Eg. What if you buy bog roll on old system and get an £8 apg but they check on new system and it says you get diddly squat?

    Shampoo works on new and old system. :A

    Oh dear:(, a failed shop, never mind:

    Fairy liquid not working vs Morries, so must have had a new price collection and updated it:

    2 x Fairy Original Washing Up Liquid (433ml)£2.00£2.46

    Domestos Ocean Germ Blast still working, but this shows the price of Harpic as having increased in M:

    1 x Harpic Power Plus Toilet Cleaner Original (750ml)£1.98£1.99
    1 x Domestos Germ Blaster Ocean Fresh£1.98£1.98

    Bit of a risk as I bought 2 sets of 2 for £2 cleaning items (only realised they were all on same offer after I'd done the shop) but fortunately the two Fairy are the same and the mbuy goes to them rather than affecting the Harpic/Domestos. So bad the comp (intended to be vs M) flips to vs T (I could have done it all in one shop:rotfl::():

    1 x Harpic Power Plus Toilet Cleaner Original (750ml)£1.98£1.00
    1 x Domestos Germ Blaster Ocean Fresh£1.98£2.00

    Where SP Choc Bar, loose bananas and SP Fish Fingers now all return N/A vs T (this is on old site):huh::(:

    1 x ASDA Smartprice Milk Chocolate Bar (100g)£0.30N/A
    0.15 x ASDA Bananas by Weight per kg£0.10N/A
    1 x ASDA Smartprice Fish Fingers (10 per pack - 250g)£0.60N/A

    Only things that compared on my shop were the Harpic and the Domestos:( - seems everything else has been wiped clean from the record for T. All the above are comparing vs M. Does not look good for my proper vs T shop, where it now seems non-Radox items will be N/A and won't get 10% off on them.
