shopped in Asda today, and as an SA was on I have used 3 times before with coupons I really went for it and gave her 12 (usually give max of about 6 to keep low profile as am quite new to this) she scanned them all no probs but till required a supervisor
I asked her why she said I had exceeded the coupon limit :eek: .
Supervisor came put key in without querying it :j .
Has anyone else eperienced this and what is the limit before till asks for a supervisor somewhere between 6 and 12 but where?

Oh finally got some July Asda mags for the Coors coupons does anyone know if the 2 for £6 still on?

Finally on another thread someone said some Sainsbury's have men's Mitchum deodorant for 49p (old bottle) with the £1 coupon this would give a free deo and 50p off your shop, non in mine but one to watch for.:rotfl:

Hi i work for Tesco at checkouts, from the 4th august 2008, their policy for coupons is changing, they will only accept coupons for 20% of the shopping total ie if you spend £20.00 you can use vouchers to the value of £4.00.
This 20% doesnt apply if you buy the product. The 20% is only with coupons if we havent bought the product.

Similar thing happened to me in Asda last week, I used 10 coupons and needed a supervisor to authorise. Supervisor didn't query a thing.

Well that will send many of us scuttling off to Asda or Waitrose then!

I'll shop where coupons are taken - and as Asda products are cheaper and Waitrose products are generally better quality then either store would seem to be a better option if a restriction like this comes in. Hopefully it's just in your store rather than a nationwide change?

If such a change comes in it should lighten the mood of the Tesco shopping experience when some SAs (not you of course!) can't even work out 10% let alone 20%! And some stores will never actually read the CSM Daily Update about it so no worries there then in my local. :rotfl:
It also begs some questions if stores do impose a 20% limit:

- What will the SA do if someone goes to hand over a nice £5 off £20 Spend & Save voucher they've been sent by Sainsburys? Will the customer be sent back to Sainsburys with it?!

- What about if a customer wants to use, say, the £1 off a £4 spend on Organic Products coupon that came with the HL mailing from Mr T today? That's 25% off if they don't buy anything else! (P.S. and for anyone who got that coupon, it works without buying Organic - I used mine already).

- And what if a customer has coupons for loads of the items purchased, can they still use 20% of coupons for products not bought PLUS the coupons for the products they've genuinely bought - or does the 20% include this?

- What if the customer has a coupon for, say, £2.40 off Red magazine (or whatever) and want to buy just Red magazine and pay the £1 balance? Will they be banned for life & have their fingerprints taken at the CS desk? :rolleyes:

Hope such a change doesn't happen...I like clubcard points too...:whistle:

Just wondering which store this was? Presume it's a local offer only as I've not seen it? Ours have 50p off a litre of fuel when you spend £50 (this is also your total pre-coupons!)

It was at Tesco Springburn. You can still get the 5p off a litre (though I'll take the 50p if their offering it!) in addition to this too

The previous info on these threads is correct, thank goodness.

One store's policy should be the same as another. Tesco have a national policy and it's just what the first people you emailed said; you can use as many coupons as you like (unless a Store Manager has specifically imposed some other limit, which is rare).

The problem is that some store staff - and many more staff at Dundee - don't know the national policy; perhaps no-one in that store has ever picked up on it or had the real policy pointed out/proven by a customer.

You just got a typical Dundee staff member who didn't know the national policy, who phoned the store and believed whatever they said was right - and reported it back to you.

I don't see how that's clever of the Dundee staff member - all they have done is confirmed a wrong policy.

Sorry to post negatively and I encourage anyone to use coupons - but I think you missed an opportunity to show the first emails to your local store and possibly get them to allow the real coupon policy. It's not too late I suppose, unless you are happy with the store's restrictive (only five) policy?

I would love to be able to say sorry i got it wrong, but what i have said is correct.

I did go to my local Tesco with my email in my hand and i was told by customer services who then asked managment what their policy is and i was told only 5 coupons if you hadn't brought the item. I have to say that a good 99% of the cashiers know this too.

When i emailed Tesco's for the first few emails i got a basic email back basically they hadn't read all my email just the first line. But parts of it kept saying at the discretion of the Store Manager.

I think it's great if people go into their store and use 15 coupons and they all go through but I just wanted people to be aware that not all stores have the same rules due to the Manager discretion.
