    Yes but sometimes with great difficulty. I tried 3 checkouts yesterday in my local Tesco and only 1 would do it

    Was it a self service or was it the manned till person that was refusing?

    Off into Argos to get the BT8500 Tripe Pack for €103.99 (cheapest I could find in Dublin).

    Are there any verbal codes, nods, winks or secret hand shakes worth trying to get a few sheckles off at this late stage?

    When i asked yer wan in the Customer service till, she looked at me like i had two heads, as i was getting less than a few things at till inc phone credit & enquired about the vouchers for gift cards, as it could be handy for someone there after xmas.

    What's the process, just buy €300 & give over 3 vouchers...

    Thanks.

    I never knew Tesco did gift cards for Argos. I'm wondering if it's a Dublin thing only....

    They're on Jervis St too. Perfect ;D


    I've reserved it now anyway so most likely too late to use a code or voucher for it?

    Nope. Bought 4x €25 in the Crescent yesterday, and no fuss with the Aldi voucher either.

    I tried self service one of the days but they said the card had to be activated at the till.

    At the tills 3 out of 4 refused me even with 50 euro groceries and 50 euro gift card to total 100 euro.

    Dont bother trying in Headford road, Galway.

    In the end I got a sweet old lady who just read the Aldi conditions and put it through for me

    Three separate transactions, I got two €50 Tesco Vouchers each time and handed an Aldi €20 coupon, did it at the customer service desk...

    Brilliant!! I've changed tactics however....I'm gonna try for Tesco gift cards to the value of €100 for €80 and give them to someone who does a big shop there and hopefully get the €20.

    Peckerhead did you go to the hardware/toys section or the regular groceries part?

    Just the regular groceries section. At the end of several checkout aisles there's a display stand with various different gift cards/vouchers. The cashier actually had a bit of hassle getting the Argos gift cards to scan, and had to get a manager over to do it, but neither of them raised an eyebrow at me using the voucher. The only other thing I bought was a packet of paracetamol.

    No real headaches either way so...

    Very good value laptop on sale for a actual shop with good stock

    The CPU, is comparable to a lot of popular i3's such as the i3-3210M.
    6GB and 1TB HD is more than enough IMO.

    Down from €479.99 to €359.99.
