To wonder WHY Tesco sends vouchers in odd amounts that you can only exchange in multiples of £2.50???

My vouchers are sent in amounts of £18, £23.50, £24 etc so am ALWAYS left with odd 50p or £1 amounts that have to be rolled over.

Why do they do this? It's so annoying! I am emailing them to ask them to change it to exchanges of £1 or put the vouchers in multiples of £2.50 surely not too hard for them?

BTW - I do have a life, and this is a leeetle tongue in cheek as it's great getting something for nothing, but it still annoys me!

Rant over and I thenk you for listening

what's the problem?

They add the extra back onto your balance and will send it out with the next lot.

They send you all that you've earned - if you use the vouchers against your shopping, you can use them in any amount. It's only this newer option to swap them that has the £2.50 amount.

I have to agree TESCO's offers are good but difficult to get just right.

Think about the double points system - I am annoyed with the double points rules - you have to double up in multiples of £5.00. This time I got £26.00 of vouchers but the denomimations came as 1 x 15.00 1 x 8.00 and 1 x 3.00. So to due to their complicated double up system and the lack of availability on the items I wanted I could only use the 15.00 and the 8.00 but I had to 300 points back until next time.

I cannot believe the numpties could not send 5 x 5.00 and a 1.00 - then I could have benefitted in a much better way and kept my other vouchers for use this month rather than wait until next time.

Still like every other offer on the market there are catches after all they do these offers for themselves not us!
