barkwindjammer Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Yep that was the instantly recognisable Asda theme from off the telly Butt ! did you know this (blagged off another site, tightbastards.com forum) Does your other half shop at Asda ? If she does, is she getting her 'money-off' vouchers after each shop? I think ASDA have shot themselves in the foot here. They are advertising that they're 10% cheaper than Tesco, Sainsbury etc. All you have to do is enter your receipt number into ASDA's website and then print out your voucher for money off your next shop. Mrs Woman is getting about £10-£15 a week back. All her mates are doing it as well. I think ASDA rely on people not bothering. The truth of course is that ASDA are NOT 10% cheaper, but have to honour the pledge when you put in your receipt number. The only 'rules' seem to be 1, You enter the receipt number after 24 hrs 2, If your receipt is 'in-store', your voucher can only be used 'in-store' (same for 'on-line' deliveries) 3, Only 1 voucher per transaction....ie.. use it or lose it. Make sure SWMBO is aware of this (hammer) (hammer) P.S. I'm not a fan of ASDA, or any of them. They're all out to con us in their own way. BUT.. if you can get something back....GET IT BACK!
Moderator DirtyDT Posted March 11, 2011 Moderator Posted March 11, 2011 Da da da ra ra-tsch tsch Isn't that the theme tune to Crossroads? There is a word for not bothering - Attrition. This is a "proper" calculation based on historical data of how many people normally don't bother. It comes in many guises including cashback schemes where you apply for a discount, by voucher normally, over a certain period. They know people don't do it or lose track. Good advice but I can't be arsed to go to Asda (ASsociated DAiries). I have a Tesco Extra in the next street.
