Abusing money off coupons - johnnyboiog88 - 04-29-2022 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 those if your not satisfied with the product contact us bullshit on a lot of packaging? I gotta try that RE: Abusing money off coupons - johnnyboiog88 - 04-30-2022 (04-29-2022, 11:50 PM)Quitelargegenitalman Wrote:(04-29-2022, 09:41 PM)johnnyboiog88 Wrote: I complained to a company the other day that I was not satisified with a product of theirs.

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.

What if you made copies and used it regular checkout? 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 RE: Abusing money off coupons - Quitelargegenitalman - 04-30-2022 (04-30-2022, 01:36 AM)johnnyboiog88 Wrote:(04-30-2022, 12:43 AM)Quitelargegenitalman Wrote:(04-30-2022, 12:21 AM)johnnyboiog88 Wrote: 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. Very interesting, lots of potential for abuse, even more interesting if you can scan it multiple times..

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