    Sorry am I missing something? It says the coupon is valid until the end of sept and against one purchase.Is it not a bit of a stretch to say its free milk until the end of 2012? Or am I completely missing something?

    It is valid until the 31st of december (end of year) and once you have it saved, you can print out as many as you want. Barcode is the same for each one.

    Anyone know the laws about coupons and such? Are shops obliged to take them everyday? And are avonmore allowed to discontinue the offer?

    Went looking for this in my local Supervalu.

    Had a few different Avonmore milks, but not the carton on the coupon..

    Used it twice in Tesco
    Tried using the self service but screen message requires a member of staff to imput the value,
    When she figured out how to do it, She put throught the 2 coupons for me.


    Don't think people should milk this offer or it is likely to turn sour

    Sipping very sweet Avonmore milk today after a visit to Dunnes.
    Like to thank Avonmore for this initiative in difficult economic times.

    I see that they have stopped providing vouchers.

    Not really the smartest campaign by the marketing team.

    NORMALLY, when a coupon is for a free item the attendant will be called to manually enter the amount of the discount, on the self service till, so while it will technically scan, you will need assistance anyways to enter the amount

    I thought so.
    So make sure to have a few things being bought so i'm not just walking in and out with essentially robbing a carton of milk. :pac:

    Avonmore are aware their coupon has been copied and have apparently cancelled that code.

    It hasn't been copied, they put it up for printing, what do they expect people to do?

    So where did you hear this from anyway?

    I know someone who works in Avonmore. By liking their Facebook page you got the chance to print off a coupon for free milk.
    They pulled the promotion when they realised a copy of the coupon was freely available on boards.

    I liked the page on Facebook, got a link to the PDF and printed it many times. It's Avonmore's dumb mistake.

    Did they actually say they have pulled the coupon?

    If anyone could confirm that the coupon no longer works that'd be great. My nearest Avonmore selling shop is miles away. Need milk for my coco pops.

    To be honest I think they expected people to print just one copy. :eek:

    It may take a while for the cancellation to work it's way into the system.
    But I think you should assume that it's days are numbered.

    Incredible that the marketing department of such a big business can fail with what should be a straightforward voucher campaign.
