Discount fuel vouchers

[lankeela]

It is so unfair that all the supermarkets expect you to spend a huge amount of money to get a discount voucher - I have been a regular shopper at Sainsbury's for years but rarely need or can afford to spend more than £20 or £30 a time.

I don't drive...but feel the same when they give me bonus nectar points coupon-and I never spend enough to use it.

I think its unfair on single people, we and OH generally spend enough to get a money off next spend, but my elderly Mum doesn't .............

[dotty.]

at smiths we give out vouchers every day that are £5 off when you spend £15 or sometimes £20, loads of people come back and use them. wish tesco or asda did that

[dotty.]

oh and that's to every customer with no minimum spend

[Ann]

That's good Dotty, pity our local Smiths is so rubbishy and hardly stock anything now - they have stopped selling dvds and cds and have only a small display of pens and stationery. Plenty of books and magazines though ....

[factor-fiction]

It's not done for reasons of fairness though- they may refer to it as a loyaly reward but they do it to encourage us to spend more

[EcclesCake]

I thought WH Smiths was going to the wall. I was so surprised to see a new branch open nearby!

Morrisons offer a fuel voucher from time to time if you spend £50 - our nearest Morrisons garage is 20 miles away in Canterbury :-(

Their current offer is good - spend £40 a week for 6 weeks and get £25 off your Christmas shop. We easily spend £40....

[gingejbee]

Ann - I agree. WHS is a shadow of what it used to be. I'm surprised that it's still in business!

[DaisyNonna]

Like so many offers, useless to those people who live alone.

[boxtops]

I know people on their own who spend £40 a week on shopping, daisynonna, including pet food and all other stuff.

[dotty.]

hope not i intend working there until i retire, they're doing fine, did you not see the mid-year results? they own funky pigeon and have the Kobo readers in and all's well, the managing director actually visited our store today and we got 9/10....unheard of! well pleased. the reason they stopped selling cds and dvds in towcentre stores was because people stole them

[ummmm]

Taking into account toiletries, cleaning products, pets and food I'm surprised people can do it for much less than £40.

[pastafreak]

I can easily spend £40 per week...and a bit more. But never all at once-and not in the same place. Depending on buses means I never can carry that much...and I spread my shopping out.

[CatGirl4]

I think nowadays £40 doesn't buy much any way,not if you also need to buy cat food.

[lankeela]

But people who spend £50 or £60 are still going to spend that much, so they wouldn't lose out by giving vouchers for people who spend say £20, as we probably can't afford to spend much on petrol either!
