    I don't see carex (typo or am I looking in the wrong multi?) in 3 for £3 toiletries (ls79296)

    Sanex, I do see and this is from Tesco's website (it's all I'm going from as I didn't look yesterday) :o

    ams7l2.jpg

    Good, cos' that's the unseen item.:D It won't appear or compare against anywhere. It's the Sanex Handwash/Handsoap(?:think:) 300ml that we want to compare.

    It's the same Carex as the one used with the Palmolive Invigorating against Morries. Same offer. However, obviously do *not* buy the Carex, Sanex and Palmolive all in one shop:rotfl:. It's Carex and Sanex against T (with Carex as the 'trigger'). Don't want anyone being confused and thinking of Palmolive as someone already bought that in error yesterday.

    The Sanex £1 T prices were certainly through to msm.co.uk by last night, they were definitely there before I went out at around 9.15pm, so they must have been showing on t.com a little before. :think:Wonder if APG has any way of picking up (as it would have been yesterday) "Valid from tomorrow" and not comparing immediately. It is now valid from 17/11/15 and should have had the lunchtime update (unless, on rare occasion, it's not been updated even afterwards). What I do know is that they seem very quick on comparing against T when T puts it's prices up online on Sunday afternoons even though they are only coming in on Mondays. Or puts them up to put them back and roll-over, in which case it seems the higher price is never charged by T during that short bad window period at all:mad::naughty:.

    These amounts are going to go to two different places.

    The £39.78 will show as e-vouchers in your online Asda account within a few days. You will have a month to use them.

    The £36 for the rejected tablets will go back into your bank account. Keep an eye on this as I have often had to chase up refunds.

    Thanks springdreams I certainly will :)

    A strange thing has just happened with my apg and I was wondering if this had happened to anyone else?

    I was getting a bit close to my £100 level for the month, but really wanted some dishwasher tablets, so I opened an account for my sister, with all her details, did an order and paid for it with a different bank card than the one I normally use.

    I have just been into her account to claim the apg and when I did, it said the full amount would take her over her monthly limit, so it only gave her x amount! The amount it gave her was the exact amount to take me to £100 for my own account. (I hope that makes sense!)

    I am wondering if A. now look at IP addresses and that I should have claimed her apg on a different device?

    Hi, just been to try. Bought the correct Carex (7750) plus 2 x Sanex's but the 3 for £3 discount didn't come off unfortunately. Found one random Carex in my store and it went through as £1 so couldn't even confirm it was in the 3 for £3

    :( the cheeky gits.

    I doubt IP addresses would come into it.

    Browser cookies might flag a previous account. (best to use incognito/different device/sign out + don't remember me)

    Same address and name used for payment card would be my guess.


    edit to add: I doubt IP address as it's not a very reliable way to identify people.

    They are obviously starting to tighten everything up!:eek::eek:
    Fortunately I didn't lose out too much, even with the lower apg, it still meant I got the dishwasher tabs for free, I just didn't get the extra return on them.:(:(
