Safeways Loophole!

Options
Hi everyone,

Im sure someone must have posted this before so apologies if this is the case... here goes anyway:

Just saw in safeways (sorry, morrisons) that if you save £97 of their savers stamps to redeem against your shopping, they give you the last £3 free to makeyour total £100. Actually, you only need 96 pounds worth of stamps as you get the 50th one free also!

Therefore, there is nothing to stop you, in theory, taking 96 pound coins down and pumping them into the machine, sticking them on your card and then redeeming them against your shopping!

I know this is quite ridiculous and would take a lot of patience, 96 pound coins and buckets of saliva to stick all the stamps down, but as soon as I saw this loophole I immeadiately thought of this board and thought it would be a crime to go unoticed!

HN!

    A 4% return for posting a few coins and sticking down a few stamps isn't to be sniffed at. Like you say it's a faff but hey £4 is £4!!! If you're getting your Xmas shopping from there then it's a cracking way of saving a few quid. :)

    It's similar to the Asda loophole at Christmas that Martin was going on about.
    Just run, run and keep on running!

    I work for Morrisons and there is a catch to this loophole!!!!

    You can only get the extra £4 during November and December! Check the small print.
