    hi there,
    does anyone got a letter from Tesco with Xmas money-off coupons?
    I got yesterday 4 coupons for 9 Eur off when spend 60 Eur.
    Just one question: can I use them in Tesco Petrol stations?
    Or they just for groceries?
    Any ideas?

    Have you read the coupon small print?
    What does it say?
    When you called Tesco customer service, what did they say?

    Tesco customer (as well as all customer services in this country) service has no ideas about those coupons - that is usual reaction from them.

    The small print is regular: they can not be used on mobile top up, lottery, gift cards etc..
    but nothing about petrol stations..

    Sooo, you have not called customer service.

    I would presume it is for in-store shopping. I can't see them giving that big a discount on fuel.

    Does the coupon mention the word "Store" ?

    that's the thing - no any mentions of store, in-store, groceries.. anything!

    text on front:
    Mr. XXXXXXXXXXX
    9 Euro OFF - when you spend 60 Euro or more in one transaction.
    Coupon valid only with your Clubcard
    from 26/11/12 until 02/12/12.

    barcode ....



    send an email to customer service, hope in few days to receive an answer..

    Any small print on the back of the coupon? That's where the nitty gritty of most offers are hidden

    no, nothing about restriction on petrol on a back of coupon

    The dunnes ones specify grocery. I used the Tesco one to stock up on clothes for thekids for the next few months as they have a sale on at the moment

    I've been holding onto my Tesco clubcard points coupon since they had that spate of 50% off frozen food and the like offer a year or so ago using your coupons.
    I've just past the €200 mark in unused coupons now (still plenty of time before they expire) but I think at this stage that particular promotion is unlikely to be repeated...

    I think they typically send money off a value of shop to infrequent shoppers to get them back through the door - so if you are a regular then your not going to get them.

    I find with Supervalu as an example they might send me a voucher for 2 weeks in a row at €9 off if I spend €60. If I don't use them then the next time I get €12 off if I spend €50. Generally once it hits the €12 off I use them as combined with coupons and the odd special on spirits I can walk out with a pretty decent bargain. I tend not to do my big shops in Supervalu and I'd imagine thats why they always send these coupons out - I get them at least every 2 months.

    Dunnes as an example offered something last year where you got a % back if you spent a certain amount per week for 4 weeks. The amount I had to spend was 25% of the same offer my mum got sent (she shops religiously at dunnes as its the handiest store for her).

    You might be correct there. I went from being a regular Tesco shopper to almost never going in there now. I received the vouchers ( and binned them ! )

    I've just doubled the value of mine with the bord gais deal.

    I was watching Martin Lewis Money Show during the week about your unused vouchers. there's a section on their website (either Tesco or club card one) and once you put in your club card number there's a box to click on my vouchers where it shows you all your unused vouchers. You may have misplaced or lost the vouchers and apparently you can print them out. There was one woman who had nearly £100 in unused vouchers.

    I shop in Tesco, got no vouchers, the odd time I go to Super Value for baby milk etc.

    I got vouchers for Super Value, spend €69, get €9 off, for 3 weeks in a row.

    My neighbour got the same vouchers for Tesco! So we swapped. They worked find with my clubcard.

    Very interesting.
    I looked for this on the Clubcard website but couldn't find it - I emailed them, will report back.

    I got a reply to my query to Tesco Customer Service:

    "I'm sorry to learn that you are so disappointed with the random posting of the Conditional Spend Vouchers we've been sending out. It is a shame that you haven't received one and as a loyal and valued customer I can understand your disappointment and frustration.

    These vouchers really were sent randomly and I assure you that there was no targeting involved.

    I have noted your comments for the attention of the marketing department and I know that they will welcome the feedback. After all, if you don't tell us then we don't know.

    As a gesture of goodwill, I am sending you a €50 Tesco Gift card.
    ...."


















    ok! I made up the last sentence. I did not receive a gift card!

    All joking aside..


    I replied to Tesco and copied the chief executive!!:eek:

    Basically told them that Dunnes and Supervalu both managed to get
    me on their voucher mailings and that would be where I'm shopping for the
    next few weeks.


    Don't believe for a minute that this wasn't a targeted promotion.
    It annoys me when companies neglect to look after their regular customers.

    As Tesco says: Every little helps;)

    Could you not just pick up a new Clubcard application form and use it once or twice (in your name but be creative with it) and wait to see if you get any vouchers that are 'targeting' infrequent shoppers?

    I still have nada from Tesco however Dunnes just sent me €10 off a €50 spend which will come in very handy thank you very much. That's on top of the last lot they had recently (was is €8 off €40, can't remember). Dunnes are certainly winning at the moment :D

    I'm afraid that it isn't possible to print out your unused Clubcard vouchers on our website. However, I'll be happy to check your Clubcard account for you and, if you have any unused vouchers, send them to you with your next statement.

    I'll update the thread with news.

    Oh that's interesting that you can't do it from here .... keep us informed. They also don't do double points (not the voucher one) on your shopping like they do in the UK.

    some price match dunnes vs others:
    bulmers 18x500ml: dunnes 24eur (deal!) vs obriens off license 22 eur
    baileys 700ml: dunnes 13eur (deal!) vs tesco 10 eur
    jameson 700ml: dunnes 19 eur (deal!) vs obriens 17.99 eur.

    i dont want to say, that dunnes often is a more expensive choice, but usually it is. :)

    Superquinn are currently running 3 x 8 pack mix and match offer on a range of 500ml cans for €24.00. Bulmers, Carlsberg, Heineken, Budweiser, Coors Light and Guinness. So a full tray of Bulmers for €24 beats both of these.:D

    They're just re-issued unused Tesco clubcard vouchers. Bit of a con job imo :mad:

    I'm saving mine up so I can't use these 'new' ones or they cancel the old ones out.
