I complained to a company the other day that I was not satisified with a product of theirs. They sent me some vouchers in the post so I could go and buy the product for free again.

I just popped to the shops and used the coupon and realised that I can use 1 coupon several times at self checkout without any problems. I was just wondering how traceable this is and what are the implications of doing such a thing?

The voucher popped up as a "Supplier Code" on self checkout and on the T&C's on the back it says it is limited to their own products, I have not tested if it can be used on anything else yet.

Is it just a barcode? What if you made copies and used it regular checkout?

How did you get the vouchers? Is it those if your not satisfied with the product contact us bullshit on a lot of packaging?
I gotta try that

It seems to be just a barcode, nothing special about it, the barcode is the same on every voucher I received, I got the vouchers for complaining yeah, I bought some crisps (chips if you are american) and the whole container of crisps (chips) were completely crushed so I complained as I was a bit annoyed about it.

So is it just subtracting a certain dollar amount from the total?

Yes. It’s just taking a set amount of the transaction amount. On the T&Cs of the voucher it says it’s only valid on their products but I plan to try it tomorrow on something else to see if that is true

Very interesting, lots of potential for abuse, even more interesting if you can scan it multiple times..

Given they allow the coupon to be used multiple times, It's no fault of your own - you've legitimately used It, and their systems accepted It.

If there's anyone to blame, It's them.
