Just signed up to this.

There's a vid on the link explaining how it works.

Basically, select ten items you buy regularly and get 20% off each time you buy.

There's an iPhone App also

It's a myth.

NOBODY on PH really shops in Waitrose.

It's been running for quite a while.

I couldn't find ten items which I buy there regularly; very random selection on offer.

Do you have to buy the 10 items at the same time?

I only really use Waitrose for Almond Milk + the Low Carb bread they stock.

This. Then we got to the shop and half the stuff we'd picked was out of stock. Think we saved 2 pound on a 100 pound shop. The in store offers on the same shop saved a tenner.

Its a crap mechanism IMO - things that I'd have given a try if they were on the before offer of 20% off with a MWC I just walk past now. The cynic in me says that by having very similar POS marker makes people think that the 20% off still applies and load it up at full price and don't quibble later. I'm sure it works though. Who has the time to pick through the things they might want and then seek them out in the shop only to find them sold out? People other than I it would seem...

Mrs PR uses it and very happy too. smile (after initial set up problems)

The great thing is the discount is calculated before other offers i.e. buy 2 (£6) items for a tenner attracts a discount of £2.40. So instead of £12 you pay £7.60

Along with free coffee and a free paper (£1.40) if you spend £5 (the £1.40 paper is included in the £5 so you only have to spend £3.60 to qualify)

Gotta love Waitrose.

When your directorship turns into a non-exec role, and you only turn up for half a day a month to perv at the Secretary, then you ditch Waitrose and shop solely at Booths.
