Ever benefitted from a 'coupon fairy' who leaves coupons tucked by products in supermarkets?

    M&S is where I usually do my fairy good deed. For some reason one Christmas I ended up with 3 £10 vouchers so I spent one and the people in front and behind me who I had been chatting to in the queue (pre C obviously 😂😜)  got one each too - their faces were a pleasure to behold.
    ;) If you think you are too small to make a difference, try getting in bed with a mosquito!

    I'm wary about passing on coupons - many are linked to my loyalty cards, which can't be used with any other card, I have found.

    I enjoy passing on McDonald's and other coupons which aren't tied though. Like from the newspapers, and so on...

    They can be used with any card (e.g. most supermarket vouchers can).

    All those printed by tills can, such as in Sainsburys or Waitys.  Wombling them is well worth doing, if someone has discarded one.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Is that the case, even when they say to be used in conjunction with card no xxxxx1234 ?

    I don`t think they CAN be used by anyone else. And quite frankly the ones I get from Morrisons are pretty rubbish anyway. Don`t have a good selection of supermarkets close by sadly. I have given away the £10 off a Lidl spend before now.

    I get coupons sometimes to give out to people when I'm testing a new product - if I haven't given them all away in person I'll put them with the item when it goes on sale in the supermarket.

    I have been given a carpark ticket - it had nearly two hours left on it and I only needed half an hour so I ended up passing it onto someone else when I left!
