    Does anyone know what exclusions Tesco has with this promotion?
    Is it valid on gift cards, clothing etc?
    Query is in the context of a money off coupon

    This promotion is available now in ALL Tesco stores (except Tesco Express).

    Saw the signage in my local store today but no sign of any leaflets with T&Cs.

    Tried this in Maynooth a few weeks back, didn't work, the chap said they were told they couldn't do it anymore. He agreed it was thick after they announced it, funnily I haven't been back to Tesco since

    My Aldi Sindo voucher was also accepted this evening. They now have leaflets at the tills with the following:

    "We are happy to accept ANY Spend & Save coupons from Dunnes Stores, Superquinn, SuperValu, Lidl and Aldi."

    amazing how they can accept competitors vouchers now. It shows the desperation they have to keep customers that are deserting them in droves to go to aldi and lidl.

    anyone find out the answer to this after?
    because with all the €10 vouchers appearing in tomorrow and sundays papers for aldi and lidl, if Tesco included giftcard's in this offer it'd be a very handy way to get an elec picnic ticket.

    I hope they do.
    My plan is to buy the
    Indo newspaper €1.90
    e40 call credit €40.00
    Miscellaneous €8.11

    Rip out the coupon and give it to them.

    It's not made clear anywhere but I would say more than likely you should be fine. I'd imagine the only exclusions are what they're legally prohibited from including (medicines, infant formula milk, lottery tickets etc), fuel and their own gift cards.

    Tesco always was and still is a rip off. I avoid if at all possible, although sometimes there's a need.

    I do most of my shopping between lidl and Aldi and the remaining few bits via Tesco online or the odd trip to dunnes.

    Saves me a chunk of cash and time every month.

    Will rather spend my 10€ Aldi voucher in Aldi. I did a full shop in Aldi last time, adding a few 'fancy items' (the ones you pick up on a whim after crossing every must by items off your list), and still the grand total came to 53€. The last time I spent 53€ in Tesco, I had far less items in my trolley

    Aldi have yumyum Easter eggs now.

    Yep, they're way cheaper.
    The whole price match from tesco is complete bollocks too, they match on a few branded items that Aldi and Lidl have, but the vast majority of what Alsi and Lidl have is their own brand and not available in Tesco. Taking people for stupid

    How were they free? Presumably you spent 10.40 on the Turkish Delight plus 39.60 on other items in order to use the 10/50 coupon.

    Just had a look at the voucher and the only exclusion is baby formula so if Tesco are 'honouring' them it must include mobile top-ups/gift cards/itunes etc!

    There's other things they can't legally accept vouchers for; which Aldi doens't sell and hence wouldn't mention.

    However, they seem quite willing to take them for anything legal even if its going to cost them huge amounts.

    This is reactionary and, I think, out of character for Tesco. They're obviously staring into the abyss and don't like what they see. It's a good chance for customers to turn the tables and exploit Tesco, for a change.

    I imagine Tesco's expansion into small/medium town Ireland has been a disaster for them since customers discovered that, not only were Aldi and Lidl cheaper than them but, often, Supervalu and Centra were too.

    Supervalu and Centra were too.

    Now that should be a worry to Tesco!

    It was the old 'Treasure Island' quote from a Tesco C level exec that turned me off them a few years back. That and their British coloured branding.
    But I will give them credit for their efforts in promoting the Irish language which are at least promising! So I'll reward them as they do more.

    This could kill off the chance of any store coming out with vouchers again.

    Why would a retailer bother to plan and pay for a voucher campaign when the others will accept them. And they will all follow suit for sure.

    Considering we've just had repeated vouchers by Aldi whilst this was going on it appears they really don't mind. And no, I doubt the others will do it as they aren't suffering badly from customers finally seeing through the smokescreen over high prices like Tesco is.

    Accepting these is a desperate act, no more.
