Please move if this is not in the correct place, but I thought you would be interested in this.

Just looked on HDUK and came across this....

When are Orange actually taking over at Mr T's then?

Well if what this guy is saying is true I will definately shop elsewhere. It is the deals that make it worth shopping at Tescos.

Must get mine changed up for our Legoland trip!!

Dunno what happened to that link but here's where it should've taken you -

In a meeting held this morning at New Tesco House in Cheshunt (Tesco Head Office) it has been announced that the Tesco Clubcard Deals scheme may be abolished at the end of August as it is no longer financially viable.

Tim Mason (Clubcard Director) advised that it would be best not to make any announcement to the public as there may be a sudden rush in deals applications and they would get overwhelmed.

If the plan goes ahead the consumers will still be able to collect points but will only be able to use them instore, therefore missing out on 4x value on Deals. Airmiles would also be cancelled. This has been due to slowly decreasing profits for Tesco PLC.

About 3 months ago we had a meeting about the clubcard scheme and it was decided that we had to drastically reduce the number of extra points promotions in circulation. As a result most online codes become customer specific, the Wine Club no longer gives the extra points coupons and the Food Club has changed extra points into money off coupons.

The next Culbcard statement comes out in August so I would advise changing them to deals straight away to avoid dissapointment.

The following people were at the meeting today;
Steve Webb (Investor Relations)
Tim Mason (Clubcard Director)
Terry Leahy (Chief Exec)
Jonathan Lloyd (Secretary)
Ian Naylor (Head of Customer Service)
Richard Brasher (Trading Director)
Andrew Higginson (Strategy Director)
Lucy Neville-Rolfe (Legal Affairs)
Norman Reaney (Site Manager for Cardiff CSC)
Simon Beattie (Press Office)
Someone with curly hair and glasses (IT and Website Design)

This meeting was hush hush and will not be announced to the consumers. The only time you will notice anything is when the Deals website disappears.

This is not for definate going ahead but the chances are very high that it will.

Well I think it isn't true. Why would any company with any sense hand out leaflets Back to School with 500 points if you spend £20 + on printer ink and paper. So we can print more coupons of course to spend in Tesco:rotfl:

mzdotokay · 23 July 2008 at 4:39PM

I used to get sent vouchers and now they such send me money off : (

simpywimpy · 23 July 2008 at 5:16PM

my food clun coupons just arrived and they are all money off and just a lousy 20p too

WELSH-DRAGON_2 · 23 July 2008 at 5:18PM

yes but in the current credit crunch climate, tescos may feel that their customers want to save money rather than gain points, it's all well and good having enough points for a day out but what if you cannot afford the food to go on the table.

I feel the money off coupons are just a reflection of the current credit crunch
