Tesco Coupon FAIL (just because it’s pretty hilarious)
March 24, 2009 6:53 pmOk, I’m new to London, and I might not have figured the whole “e-groceries” thing out, but this truly confuses me. An “eCoupon” from Tesco, received in my inbox today, and time stamped “24 maart 2009 16:50″:
(direct to large size, or if you don’t believe me, here’s the webpage equivalent)
I replied to Kendra Banks, Marketing Director with my questions, but no extra information on why in the UK “March” comes before “February” or on what kind of day “31 February 2009″ is was supplied yet. ;( Now, how do I get my 10£ so I can ‘enjoy spending it’?! Or is this just a very effective way to dupe your customers into buying something without having to give them their discount?
Miss Banks,
I would love to take you up on this offer, but, could you please advise how I can use this coupon I receive today before the 31st of February 2009 if ..
1. We’re March 2009.
2. A “February 31″ has never existed as far as I know. February only goes up to 28 - an exceptional 29. Really, you should look it up on the wikipedia!
Kind regards,
Ann Wuyts

“In December, Tesco said it would focus on its online retail operations to attract more customers ” yada yada yada — shop at Morrisons!
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Hey, what if you could order your groceries now and only pay for the February 31st, 2009???
Your reward is three extra days outside of normal space and time. Spend them wisely! Perhaps the next time you need a sick day…
Wow, as it’s only valid for February 31, 2009 deliveries, if I was Tesco I would’ve made the coupon for £1, 000,000 just to be sure to get everyone’s attention, since it won’t cost them anything.
