People discovered too late that this ‘unlimited use’ Tesco voucher was actually a NSFW prank – and they were not happy bunnies
With the cost of living still ridiculously high, people can be forgiven for using any means they can to save a bit of money off their weekly supermarket shop. So when Twitter user George uploaded a QR code promising £9.50 off their Tesco shop every time they use it, a lot of people were quick to try it. Every little helps, right?
A lot of people thought it may be too good to be true, however, and they were so very, very right to be suspicious.
Here’s the voucher he posted, purportedly valid until January 2026.

So what happened to the unfortunate people who decided to give it a go? Absolute embarrassment and mortification, that’s what…

Yet more people were worried because they’d innocently passed on the ‘offer’ to friends and family…

Sent this to my mum. Didn’t realise she’d forwarded it to my 80 year old grandma who’s just tried to use it

We assume that Tesco have now patched the system so that it no longer works, so we advise against trying this at home!
