Has anyone tried the coupons, last time the barcode did not scan

Same here, so I tidied up the original fuzzy barcode using an online barcode generator that gave a good sharp image, and pasted that onto the DM gif before printing. Scanned a treat, and no deception, just avoiding disappointment. Just google barcode generator and cut&paste the code it produces onto the DM image using a graphics program.

First post here, been reading this thread for a while and appreciate the info, so hope this helps.

which stores did you get them accepted?

Tesco, that is the only place that I even try - my Asda won't accept ANY book tokens at all. I have had some co-operative sa's this week, who when the coupon wouldn't scan - even using the hand scanner, input the code numbers, and went thru' fine.

I haven't tried todays - But.......

Off topic, but when you are in Tescos either buying your Mails, or using the book coupons, keep your eyes peeled for blue flyers advertising money off electrical and clothing - £6 off a £30 spend of either.

These give you £6 off your shopping irrespective of if you have bought ANY clothing or electrical.:j There are two coupons per flyer - so flyer is worth £12 !!!!!!!!!!:T

Hope this makes up for my lack of contribution on the newspaper front;)

p.s I think you have to spend £30 in total before it will accept the coupon, but not just £30 on clothing or electrical only - hope that makes sense !

My voucher scanned at £4 too - didn't prohibit me from purchasing another 6 papers!

<<<<<<<<PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE>>>>>>>

I missed Wednesdays copy of The Sun for the Free Day at Theme Park (as I was sure they originally said they would print the coupon to attach it to in Fridays ). If any one has Wednesday's that they won't be using can they PM. I will a send a SAE to them.

I am in a bit of trouble because I have already told my kids that we will be going and now I am not sure we will be able to without the voucher....

Im so sorry, the sun did state that (either sat or mon) that the claim form would be in friday, then they put it in weds. If I can get another from my bro Ill let you know, will pm you later.

Used saturdays coupons 3x now no probs but
had trouble with todays coupon it would not scan so i said
"i have another one here (saturdays mail)"
that scanned ok

I think the best trick is to go to tesco's when its quiet and find a regular worker NOT A TEMP who only does 3-4 hours here and there and build up a rapour .
Me and my husband are on first name terms with a very nice guy and he takes all our vouchers and if there is someone in front of us who does not collect points he gives us their point too.

Its not tart collecting, they meant start collecting but missed the s off. If you read the whole sentance it then makes sense.
