last Wed at M&S in Leeds for the funeral I attended recently.
Shirt £19.50 and tie £9.50.
When I checked the bank statement just now, £79 had been taken. The obvious conclusion is that I asked for £50 cashback, but I don't recall doing this.
Also I write down all my debits and credits and do a balance weekly, and have written £29 down. Pretty sure I'd have looked at the receipt (which I can't find) to make sure of the amount of the purchase.
Question is, can I nicely demand that M&S go through all their transactions to clarify my purchase? Already asked and they say it would take hours.

why ask us when you already asked them?
|

By:
I didn't ask them what I'm asking here!

By:
what did you ask them?
|
|
By:
Well I asked if they could check all the receipts, and she said all the tills receipts were together and it would be a big job. On reflection I think I must have got cashback, as the items are scanned and I don't think there could be a mistake like that.

By:
Hard to believe that someone is so meticulous with his accounting, and doesn't recall £50.00 cashback, yes or no!
I would think that asking them to investigate would be a little audacious, particularly as you aren't sure. I hope you wore your shirt and tie with pride, knowing that nobody else will have spent £79.00 on theirs.....  |

By:
Meticulous I certainly am, Aunty. Used to do double entry book-keeping.
I'm not going to check it. It must be cashback, but I went to the Black Prince afterwars, near City Station and had a few so that will have clouded my memory. |

How can you not remember getting 50 quid cashback? I've got you down as a smart cookie kenny mann but now I'm not so sure!
|
|
By:
There's no fear of that Aunty, as long as I'm around.
 I am a smart cookir, Slippy (as far as betting is concerned) but this happened on the 16th (not last Wednesday as stated earlier) and as I said a few beers were consumed. Book-keeping errors are impossible to avoid now and then. |

did you want the receipt in the bag?

Do you mean leave? If so no, already looked.

Matching shirt, tie, hankie combo v popular at one time I recall.

Kenny mann, do you wear waist jackets? I've started wearing them again and there is something good about them. I just need to get a fob watch to complete the look.
|
|
By:
Absolutely not, Slippy. Last one was about 1968.

might be a scam ... heard it before.
cashier takes extra £50 for themselves (as your cash back). Then pretends to put receipt in bag. You find later that you've been charged an extra £50. Cashier now in Vegas having a good time ... £50 goes a long way these days of negative inflation. |

Not Marks and Sparks, shirley!

I'm afraid so Kenny.
My wife used to work at M&S and some dodgy staff ... e.g. one newly wed girl on Foods used to stuff fivers doen her knickers and go home by taxi! Got caught eventually but no prosecution ... M&S don't want publicity. Or another one where late working store room guy came on to sales floor after hours and carefully broke into tills and stole money. Apparently even some MPs have forged receipts and claimed false expenses ... you can't trust anybody. Yes, your £50 has long gone. |
|
By:
Right, thanks a lot mememe, I'll definitely investigate further now.
|
|
By:
I must admit I don't always look closely at the amount before I enter my pin.
|
|
By:
Kenny,
not sure what you can investigate. You say bank statement shows £79. M&S receipt will match that. The dodgy cashiiers rely on blokes not checking the amount showing on the terminal when customer enters their PIN. And if they do check the the response is just a mistake. best to go back into M&S, grab £50 worth of stuff and just walk out. Let me know if you get caught. HTH  |
|
By:
So you're saying they put a £50 cashback through to complete the fiddle? A bit risky is that. Most poeople will check the amount aand would report that? Still think they gave me £50 in cash tbh.

The cashier was a young good looking chic and you couldn't take yer eyes of her threepenny bits. No wonder yer minds a blank. |

They don't have to be young chicks, aka'. 17-70 is my range.

17
 I've got a niece aged 17. You leave her alone you filthy beast. Her Dad, my brother is 6' 4'' and is 20 stone and was a top boxer and I'm not talking about bananas either, best you not mess with him kenny mann. |

Don't think I've had a 17 year old, since I was, well 17.

What a disastrous day, lost a monkey. Worst day this year. I usually do OK but got a bit of a kicking today, ouch.

Can the credit card or bank company tell you, as I'd have thought cashback was a cash advance which a credit card company will treat differently for interest purposes, which means they must be notified of that component electronically?
(unless it's just for debit cards, I never get them) |
|
By:
Thanks for that JC. I assumed the bank would just have the transaction, not the split. I'll call them tomorrow.
|
|
By:
Well I know cash advances on a CC can immediately start taking interest even if you pay off every month, and for example if you use your credit card for some betting or pools or whatever, they can treat THAT as a cash advance and you pay interest from the day you spend it. So .. you'd think they for a cash advance to be consistant if you can get cashback they must know?
But I've never taken a cashback in my life. |
|
By:
For me, I always use a CC in shops or hotels or online even if I don't need the credit just because you get a lot more protection as I understand it. My debit card is only ever used for the banks.
|
|
By:
Well I've had cashback for years, plus used my debit card fot anything, Wetherspoons, bookies, Morrisons etc and never had a problem. I suspect this is my error.
|
|
By:
It looks like they might be debit card only but maybe the bank would know though anyway, it seems safer if they did.
|
|
By:
Hardly worth wasting your time over Kenny, let alone raising your blood pressure. Fifty quid these days is neither here nor there, not even a tank of petrol. You probably received it and spent most of it in the Black Prince on a few bevies.
