Vouchers at Tesco - an exercise in frustration!!

jeeves_2

i had the same problem on sat.(2/7/05), i took a few vouchers with me, and the girl spent five minutes reading every single one and at the end of it she only took one which was for 50p. i didnt kick a fuss up though. So maybe selected stores have changed their policy.

a friend told me yesterday that she used the self scan at longton (near stoke on trent i think) and it let her use loads of coupons, about 75% off her bill.

Gosh that's encouraging! Did you use any identical coupons? If not, where on earth did you find such a lot of [high value] coupons to use?!?!?!

And don't the customers behind you or the staff frown when you hand over a handful of vouchers? It happens to me sometimes

No identical coupons for the first shop but used 2 the same on the second shop (£1 off Alberto Balsam - bottle of shampoo or conditioner was 92p per bottle so got 2 x £1 off :beer: )

Most vouchers were from the "great vouchers by mail hunt" thread on here.

Made sure to go to a quiet till where no-one else was queining, no-one frowned at me either (Maybe it's just beginners luck )

First I heard of that.......I've ceased to be amazed by anything that Tesco do now however. :wall:

Am I supposed to trawl through the many many pages on the "Great Vouchers by Mail Hunt" or is there a collated list somewhere that I'm missing?

Post #267 might be a helpful shortcut in the Great Vouchers By Mail Hunt. Lindsay100 has come up with lots of links. Maybe worth checking again in a week or so to see how that one develops.

Sigh. No offense, but this might be one of the reasons why Tescos Extra Longton are now being completely crappy about coupons and only accepting a couple per shop - 10%TOTAL including whether you buy the product or not. Went there today...will not be going back with coupons in a hurry! They do notice what goes on at the self-scans!! Maybe not in time to stop that individual shopper, but I believe it does have an impact on their overall policy towards coupons.

Typical! That's the Tesco that I use for my coupons! :rolleyes: I have got a load of Zing coupons still to use and was planning a big shop next week! :mad: I'll have to try the Meir one instead.
