Tesco Christmas savings scheme

Posts: 624 Forumite
I have signed up to have my clubcard points all in my November statement. With this you can top-up your christmas savings, by adding money into your clubcard account. Vouchers are then sent to you with your November statement. Unfortunately, you can't use these vouchers for deals. But, you receive bonus vouchers. If you saved between £49 and £96.00 you get a £1 bonus voucher, between £97 and £143.99 you get a £3 bonus voucher. Between £144 to £360 you get a £6 bonus voucher (you can only save £360).
If you put £144 into your account, you get a £6 voucher, which is actually 4.1666% return on your money for however long they have it. If you use a saver card, you have to put £49 on a card, and you get a £1 bonus, which is 2.04% (although obviously, you can fill up the card, and use it that day). You can also put the £144 on your cashback credit card, and earn a bit more on it.
Now all I need to know is the last date for putting money on to the account before the November statement is sent out. Does anyone know this, or should I send an email to Tesco?
Oh, and I had a look at the Sainsburys saver card, and they don't give you any bonus stamps.

For the August statement, the cut-off day was the last day of July, so I guess the last day of October is the cut-off for the November statement.0

Does anyone3 know? If I buy the stamps in store to save up the £50, do I have to spend it all in one go??? ThanksSW: Wk1 (5) Wk2 (2.5) Wk3 - Wk 4 (4) Wk 5 - (1.5) Wk 6 (1) Total off 1 stone!:j0

PinkLady: I'm pretty sure you do, because you have to hand over the card with all of the savings stamps on, and theres not really a way to 'divide' the card up short of tearing it. You can part-fill a card though, and have say 5 cards with £10 on (I know you don't get any bonus stamps this way though...)..0

when I used my card last year with £50 on of stamps, my shopping only came to £35 and I was given £15 in cash change, hth!0

I would defo email customer service, if you ask in store they prob wont know, some cashiers dont even know about it!!
Yep u get cash change from savings card if you dont spend it all!0 -
I popped into Tesco today, and on my receipt it says
Christmas Savers for 2005 closes on Friday 21st October at 8pm
So that is the cut-off day/time for putting the money into your clubcard to get the bonus money.Quidco cashback paid out so far £745.89 :j0 -

Thankyou for this, I didn't realise you could do this, as I save up all my vouchers and spend them, along with the savings stamps at christmas. How annoying, as i have obviously missed out on having the extra bonus pounds added on!! How do you sign up for it?? At least I know for next year, but after doing this for the last 3 or 4 years, I'm annoyed I have missed out. The extra few quid makes all the difference, especially at christmas, and tesco get enough of my money throughout the year. Nice to get a little bit back.if you cant have what you want, be grateful for what you have :T

There is a leaflet at the till. On the leaflet is a voucher. You just hand the voucher to the person on the till and they scan it and voila, you are signed up. It might not be too late to do it for this year.Quidco cashback paid out so far £745.89 :j0
