    I used two of these in one transaction for under £20 tonight at Tesco. They didn't scan though (they were printed on a laser printer too) and the SA had to key the numbers in. He didn't mind though and I wasn't complaining!!

    they don't seem to work on the self scan checkouts, so you need a friendly SA to do it - have yet to find one at my local store, they won't take anything printed off the internet!

    Tried this twice but would not scan. SA tried scanner & hand scanner. Any tips for printing? I printed on best quality.
    Thanks

    They probably wont scan unless you tidy up the barcode. Search for 'barcode generator' in google. Then copy and paste it in a word doc. It works a treat

    Hi

    I got the original voucher from the daily mail last week (sat) £5.50 and it did not scan this week. Have they blocked it. I cant seem to find the original newspaper thread for it now.

    Thanks

    Was this at a self scan? I've had this before - you can use it in the first few days, then the store takes a hit and blocks it, so you have to get a supervisor over :o who says what do you think you're doing, you haven't even bought the book etc., etc.:o :o:o

    It isn't usually national tho, if that's any help!

    Here's the link for the printable one - but I couldn't get mine to scan - might try my barcode generator one, but that'd be even more embarrassing if it was blocked, I reckon.

    Which barcode generator works? Would be grateful for any help as I have a rubbish printer.
