    I shop at Asda they say will take 10% off with actual nss 99 coupons, i tried use coupons off couponet and the net few weeks ago and was refused. I quieried this with couponet manager who advised me Asda do take net coupon, so i quiered this with an email to asda cs. They advised me net coupons are fine and sending me gesture goodwill for ma embaressment.

    This wek went Asda, told checkout person was going use net vouchers, she got supervisor, showed my letters off above, she spoke to manager who advised me he will check i replied i had two forms proof i not moving till sort it out. Manager said put them through 10% they will check and get back to me.

    I would only use coupons for the item/store that it is supposed to be for as anything else is fraud. It would never cross my mind to use a coupon for something I didn't buy.

    Well said to you.

    But I prefer to use all coupons to get up to 50% off my shopping to bring Tescos prices down to a reasonable amount :rotfl:

    I never ever use coupons if I haven't bought the product, only 'cos I'd die of embarrassment if they got refused! But I have a grudging admiration for those that do, especially if you use them at Tesco. They are the greediest, most arrogant shop around and if people can get "one up" on them, then I say well done :p . They have the monopoly round here, with only a Sainsburys to compete, and I can't afford them anyway. I shop at Tesco usually, but I have seen their prices rise and the way their brand is taking over the shop, I don't want to buy Tesco's brand all the time, I want choice in my shopping, like you get in Asda or Morrissons. In 2012 we are supposed to be having an Asda, I only hope the rumours are true! Then it's goodbye Mr T from me...............................

    well I hand over as many as I can. I don't get embarrassed. I'd rather save money! Last week was superb with all thehigh value daily mail ones. We get a foreign family holiday with what I save in a year. I will miss it for sure if it stops.

    What are manufacturers going to do, threaten not to let Tesco stock their products if they keep taking coupons when you haven't bought the product?

    I don't know how many people actually use coupons when they haven't purchased the product, but i think that overall Tesco will sell far more units of the product than they will receive coupons for.

    yes I agree, and tesco accept them as it keeps customers shopping there. But I am sure there must be "bodies" tesco can be reported to for fraudulently accepting coupons. I really am amazed that this hasn't happened, especially when there have been (albeit few) reports of people being hauled into the managers office for giving in coupons when the product isn't purchased!

    Sorry if I'm being a bit thick here, but are you saying that if I had a money off voucher for Lurpak, say, *some* Tesco stores would refuse to take it even if I had the product in my basket? :confused:
  • hiya everyone
