Anyone else waiting to hear? Completely see the point of wanting to reduce footfall but will be pretty disappointed if we can't use the scheme this year. This year is getting on my nerves now!

I exchanged to the value of £70. Bought
Dogman book
Percy Park keeper book
Kays anatomy book
Pirates love underpants book
Muffin tray
1 bottle sauv blanc
1 bottle prosecco
1 bottle beaujolais
Luxury crackers
1 lego set
Gravy boat

Doesn't seem that much written down

MiniMileyMoo · 11/11/2020 19:25

I exchanged to £100 and got a panini press, 2 kids Christmas jumpers, a children's book, a playdoh set (already reduced from £17 to £6!), wrapping paper and fancy crackers, and 2 bottles of wine. Got another potential £45 if I use DHs too so might go back for some other bits later in the week.

Anyone having problems claiming vouchers through app? Keeps saying its send me a code but nothing in emails. I changed my password and received an email for that tho?

myhobbyisouting · 11/11/2020 19:54

The code is a text not an email

NoWordForFluffy · 11/11/2020 20:07

@ImSoMagical, is your current mobile number in your profile?

Fiddlersgreen · 11/11/2020 21:26

Thank you for posting about this, I had no idea it was on.
Been needing a new microwave for a while but as we don’t use it very often I didn’t want to spend much on it!
Got one today for £25 worth of vouchers so very pleased. Our Sainsburys has just been redone too so has a much bigger home section now

ImSoMagical · 11/11/2020 22:38

Ah it's a code by email they are sending to verify it's me - strange because I've bee using the app the whole time, and other emails from sainsbury are coming through! I'll persevere!!

NoWordForFluffy · 11/11/2020 22:40

It's not by email. That's the point. It's a text message! You need to make sure your current number is in your account.

Mine was sent by text message
EasilyDepleted · 11/11/2020 23:10

I checked earlier and don't have my phone no. in the app, when I tried to put it in it said it was sending me a verification email which never came. I used the app last year without a phone no.

RandomMess · 11/11/2020 23:14

The App is utter crap!!!

Sent me through the confirmation cos by text but the "next" button was covering the box where you have to type the code in so couldn't convert my points to vouchers.

Utterly fuming tbh.

NoWordForFluffy · 11/11/2020 23:17

Anyone having app issues, try uninstalling and reinstalling. The system fell over at about 4pm for a bit too.

EasilyDepleted · 12/11/2020 07:07

I just redid the add phone no / get verification code thing again and it worked right away.

NoWordForFluffy · 12/11/2020 07:50

I think it struggled a bit yesterday!

gingercat02 · 12/11/2020 08:10

I'm ready to go with £100 the app. Count up to Christmas turned on too. Love that everyone buys wine. We usually do too but a few years ago we knocked it off a PS4 for ds Christmas present. Might have a look at new bedding this year
I love double up shopping

Whattheduck · 12/11/2020 08:57

I’ve got the app and it took 4 attempts late last night to receive a verification code after entering my phone number
I’ve not requested the points yet as my local Sainsbury’s is having a refit on their Christmas,homeware and clothing section (great timing) and when Dh went on Monday it was all blocked off and they were working in there so just off now to do my food shop and see if it’s open if not I’ll have to go to the other branch which is about 10 miles away

NoWordForFluffy · 12/11/2020 08:59

I don't have count up to Christmas on mine. I feel left out!

wendz86 · 12/11/2020 12:03

I only had £20 voucher but got some wine, crackers and ear muffs for my dd .

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 12/11/2020 12:44

I got port and a couple of bottles of wine with my 20 quid's worth. Result!

sansou · 12/11/2020 15:37

£50 voucher which I spent on 3 x books and some Orla Kiely stationery.

Rubyroo73 · 12/11/2020 16:50

4 bottles of prosecco for me - cost me an extra £2!

TheCrow · 12/11/2020 17:01

@RandomMess no idea if it's useful now but try rotating your screen if there was a button blocking the text box, that changes the layout of the page and sometimes moves it out of the way

RandomMess · 12/11/2020 17:05

Thanks Crow I will go back again tonight and try.

I would so fed up all the hassle of finding stuff and deciding etc argh!

NoWordForFluffy · 12/11/2020 17:31

Did you uninstall and reinstall, @RandomMess? It will hopefully help.

RandomMess · 12/11/2020 17:36

No not yesterday when stood in the shop beyond pissed off!!

It was happily sending me security texts just couldn't type them in and staff telling me a should have ordered them on line the other week 🤦🏼‍♀️
