Remember those amazon £5 vouchers we got for doing that survey? Well I used mine to buy a book, the total price of which, including the delivery, was about £10. They tried to deliver it, but failed, and it ended up being returned to amazon. So I emailed them, and they refunded me the whole price, not just the amount I paid without the voucher. I was chuffed
So have you ever wangled free stuff or money? And no, thieving does not count! Cheeky or skillful is good though...

my mum has also had a lawnmower and a phone off a catalogue for free after they never took the money out of her account.
Pharmaceutical mugs
i always blag under 16 tickets at football matches even though im nothing like 15.
long story but ive earned a few free pints at various pubs due to inside knowledge.
what? staff on the tills can't do anything on the tills to change the promotions. if a customer said something was buy one get one free someone would go check it out and only if it actually was would you get it free.
if you take the posh organges out of the packet they get all confused and charge you 9p for the cheapest ones. (not that i do that often or anything :nervous: )
was thinking that myself
i'm a checkout girl at tesco.
i'll watch out for that 1!
eta: geek moment...i'm sure single oranges are 16p or something.
And as for kick - they can. I say "The two for £1.50 offer is on" and they put it in as £1.50. I thought of doing it after they charged me for two when the offer WAS actually on - they changed it - so I thought "will that work when it isnt on?" it seems to.
yup, i know, when i said "you" i was just reffering to anyone.
im only aware of this trick as mate who works in Tescos told me about it, and your proberly right about the price being 16p. if only that worked with good stuff like beer, then i'd be tescos favourite customer
About 2 months later I got a letter from them to let me know that payment was due soon and to get in touch. So I went into the shop to explain that it was a 6 month not 3 month deal. The salesman went onto a computer and checked up and changed something somewhere.
8 years on I haven't heard a thing. I can only assume the pimply youth wiped out the transaction. And the TV still works.
Boost.
you don't work at tesco do you.
we don't actually have the capability on the checkouts anymore to change the price of things unless you're a supervisor.
Offers at Co-op are great, for example: if something is on bogof the till takes the price of one of the products off the total bill. But if the products are reduced because of a short date or whatever, it will still take the money off them. I got two pizzas for something like 50p once, when they should've been about £4 on the offer!
yeh that happens at tesco sometimes! if something is reduced but still on offer.
