and in Sada today............... I am sorry you can only use APG to the value of 10% of your shopping!
Oh no says I that is not right
call supervisor who insists it is right, and has ALWAYS been 10%
I argue, she is adamant, claims the manager is calling head office as we speak, but she decides to put the APG through anyway
I call HO just to check they haven't changed the rules, they haven't.
Funny thing is I very much doubt they could work out 10% even if it was right!!

HO did say however they had changed the system to stop people reprinting the APG, but they were having issues & it wasn't working yet!!

i spent £7 ish and used 4 apgs paying only a few pence. TWICE today.
went through no problems on till.

Something interesting going on with the mystery cases not sure if we have missed them being in stock. But I can see a mystery case of sparkling wine £30 saying £5 bottle but if you click on description it says 12 bottles. Never seen this case before.

Morning all.

I saw this the other day will definitely have to order one when they are available just to see what the quality is like.

Just thought Ts probably don't have enough champagne left for the other fizz boxes as me and Di have it all. :beer: :rotfl:

We just got back from the hospital when two dear friends called with some flowers so we opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate last chemo!

Truly madly - I too have been trying to plan a small shop using double up and a conditional spend. However, I have just checked my coupons and both mine and oh's 200 points on a £10 spend have disappeared so don't think I will bother. Not sure about the answer to your question - sorry.

If it's a £30 conditional spend why are you trying to get it to £50?

ETA: Spirits don't count towards a conditional spend threshold, is it the same with wine? In which case wouldn't you need to get to £70 (£40 wine, £30 other)?

[1] My thought. I thought you're spending £40 on wines anyway, so if it's £4.50 off, minimum spend would be £44.50. You should not be spending more than necessary.

[2] Oh crikey:(. They dream of everything. If they don't allow spends to include wine, then would seem best forgetting about the cond spend altogether. Why spend £30 of other stuff simply for £4.50? They don't compare wine do they, so couldn't include cheaper at A branded wines in the £40. Instead, buying expensive TTD wine.

This is the thing though, with some double-ups. Way way back - when I was certainly not savvy at all and more like a muggle - I got a double up on flowers from £5 to £10. Probably only to spend on flowers that were priced at £10 in T that would have been £2 elsewhere:rotfl:. Or maybe those flowers were £5 in T (still very pricey) before the double-up that included flowers category. Certain categories - check the prices of items haven't been doubled just before the 'double-up' offer that includes them - as otherwise the doubling, which makes you think you are getting twice the points, is of course worthless.

Wouldn't the points be better on other items to pay towards a £30 shop, with £4.50 off, that's then branded items £10 cheaper in A? Or are the points, having doubled them up, now only able to be spent on (expensive?) wine?

Thanks for all your replies.
I should have been clearer...£50 was a bit of a random amount but it's probably my £40 doubled up plus a tenner in coupons etc.

I was basically wondering if I could use my conditional spend .....£4.50 off a £30 shop buying wines up to the value of £40 plus a further small amount.

Think I'll just try it and feed back:rotfl:

Quite funny. You may recall yesterday I quoted T about a Brand Guarantee issue and they said they were sending me £5. Well, I thought that was the last of it, but I ended up arguing with two different people/sections and I have just had another email

"I would like to apologise to you for taking so long to reply I have been out of the business.

I understand your frustrations with the brand match results ,at store level we are unable to have any in put into this .

I am going to send you a gift card as a goodwill gesture for £10"

If this works out I will get £15 in gift card for a £2.50 mistake. One thing neither of them asked me, but I would have admitted to if they had asked, was that I actually returned the squares in disgust because the CS was driving me mad!
