Tesco vouchers

    Clubcard vouchers arrived this morning 20.11.17.
    They cover the period to 5.11.2017.
    Additionally, they have 3 spend €60 plus and get €12 off vouchers with operative dates.
    Wouldn't you know it but I spent €80 + on beer about a week ago. If I had received my vouchers promptly I would have saved €12 as I would have been able to use one of them :(.
    Any ideas ?

    TBH, I don’t understand what you’re looking for. If you’ve been getting vouchers for a while now, you’ll know that there’s always a gap between the end date and the date they arrive .

    If you had wanted to use the vouchers, you should have waited until they arrived.

    I think they're saying that the vouchers are only valid until the 5th November but only arrived on the 20th.

    How about bringing back the beer for a refund and then buying it again?

    The hooligans at the party left nothing except the cans for recycling :)

    I had forgotten about the vouchers being due. However, in addition to the usual vouchers they included some of the extra ones I described - I had no idea I would be getting those :rolleyes:

    I interpreted it to mean that vouchers were based on points earned to November 5th.

    OP - can you please clarify?

    Sorry I should have been clearer.

    There were 2 sets of points in the mailing.

    1 set was the points earned to 5.11.17.

    1 set was 3 additional vouchers of the buy €60 plus and get €12 off.
    Each of those vouchers has an end date of validity.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,404 ✭✭✭✭vicwatson


    Got these 3 extra vouchers 15 off 70 spend, each valid for the next 3 weeks, 1 per week starting this week


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 477 ✭✭stronglikebull


    After reading all posts, I still don't get it. Either buy more stuff and use the vouchers, or don't buy stuff, and let them go to waste. That's how they work. There's nothing you can do about stuff you bought last week, it's too late to use vouchers on those now. So unless your plan was to never buy anything else for the rest of your life, you can still use the vouchers you received.

    If I had received the vouchers timeously I would have been able to get €12 off the €80 plus worth of beer that I bought on Sunday 12.11.17.:rolleyes:

    Nobody has died over this but I hate missing a good bargain.................

    Points earned till 5th, it would take a few days for Tesco to begin printing probably at 24-48 hours at a minimum to get points balances updated overnight and then sent to the printers to print letter and vouchers for millions of people. Id say you did recieve them in a timely manner to be fair, also you'll probably get good use from them regardless in the coming weeks

    Buy the beer again with vouchers.
    Return the beer for refund with your original receipt.

    Have these not got a start date and end date on each of them?

    Lots of ones I get do, only valid for a week, they are consecutive weeks. Another previous poster described the same.

    If yours are like this could you have actually even used them on 12-11-17?

    If they arrived and it was out of date I would be asking them for another one, publically on facebook.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,404 ✭✭✭✭vicwatson


    Yes, as per my earlier post I got 3 vouchers of 15 off 70 for each week over the next three weeks,

    first one valid from today until sunday 26th
    2nd monday 27th to sunday 3rd and
    3rd monday 4th to sunday 10th

    Now, what non perishables to stack up on?

    I don't think it's fraud, same as buying something, then seeing it in sale and buying again while returning original

    But the suggestion does not involve returning the original. You buy an item at full price and consume it. Then you buy the same item at a discounted price, bring it back with the receipt from the first transaction and ask them to refund you more than what you paid for the goods you are returning.

    That definitely is fraud.

    These 15 off 70 spend vouchers, does Tesco allow you use a 10 off 50 Dunnes Stores in combination with one of their 15 off 70 ones?

    So, spend 70 and get 25 off???

    No, they can't be used in conjunction with any other spend and save coupons


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71,160 ✭✭✭✭L1011


    No, they can't be used in conjunction with any other spend and save coupons

    Although, if your local store accepts that at the self scan, it will actually let them both go through. Allegedly :pac:

    Competitor coupon has to be entered by a staff member, then scan the Tesco one. You need to still be over the required amount for the Tesco one after the competitor value is deducted

    And I imagine they'll eventually fix that loophole - some stores won't enter competitor ones at self scan already.

    I used Supervalu and Tesco vouchers yesterday in Tesco...my shopping ended up at 8 euro.

    I like the fact that Tesco sent me reprinted vouchers of ones I had forgotten to use.

    At the express checkout or “manned” one?

    A personed one!

    Got nothing from Tesco other than my Christmas Clubcard mailing and the vouchers I had saved for in the Christmas saving scheme. No money off vouchers. Guess they only send them to those they are trying to attract back to the store. Considering I spent over 3k over the year with them they obviously don't value my custom enough to send them anything to me.

    Same as you, but got dunnes stores vouchers so will be using them with Christmas saving scheme vouchers, I think the dunnes are better value at least.

    Yes, points and extra points on certain products but no money off vouchers.

    My extra vouchers came separately, they always do.

    No, but you can split the shop if it’s over €70, so use the Tesco voucher on €70, then the dunnes one if you spend another €50 - ask cashier to stop ringing goods at €70

    So it’s spend €120 to get €25 off.
    There’s also a voucher for €6 offFand F but you have to spend €30

    This could be because you used the christmas saving scheme.
    Considering I spent over 3k over the year with them they obviously don't value my custom enough to send them anything to me.
    Or conversely you could say they obviously do not feel they have to attract you into the shop.

    I got 3x5 off 25 spends a few weeks ago, on their own. I got 3x10 off 50 spends last week with my other vouchers. I never do big shops in tesco and put it down to that.

    I know a guy who does only 2-3 online shops a year in tesco and he gets vouchers sent quite a bit, considering how little he uses it. In bargain alerts it seems the same, many people who buy very little there are sent them.

    I wonder if anyone else not getting vouchers used the christmas saving scheme, or any other sort of bonus scheme -and if they do big shops.

    I rarely shop there and don't use the saving scheme and didn't get any vouchers either.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,119 ✭✭✭Tails142


    I got three spend 60 save €6, I feel ripped off when other people getting 20%, we do all our shopping there so it's probably that their computer algorithm works out it doesn't need to entice us into the shop.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,380 ✭✭✭chuckles30


    The spend and save vouchers are definitely targetted to bring you back or increase your spend. Average spend in tesco is ~€100 every two weeks - I then got €25 off €150 valid for the next 3 weeks...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,292 ✭✭✭Galadriel


    I got 10 of 50 vouchers in with my club card reward vouchers.


  • Moderators, Regional South Moderators Posts: 5,897 Mod ✭✭✭✭Quackster


    I used the Christmas saving scheme and didn't get any spend and save vouchers. Another person in my household got three €5 off €25 vouchers though (they shop in Tesco only occasionally so I end up using these vouchers).
