Top spot! Look for a special “Back to school” leaflet by the tills in your local Tesco. Inside is a voucher, giving you 500 clubcard points when you spend £20 on printing ink and paper.
While these points are only worth £5 if redeemed in Tesco, if you go to Tesco ClubCard Deals brochure, their value is quadrupled, so you get £20 worth. This means the stationary costs nothing (provided you were going to spend £20 on Deals such as days out or magazines anyway).
There’s also a voucher for 250 points (£10 in deals) when you buy £10 worth of Blank CDs or DVDs. Both vouchers are valid until 2 September 2008.
For full details read Loyalty Schemes: Tesco ClubCard.

If you want to be extra ruthless on this offer, buy the cheapest cartridges that you can find which they will also accept for recycling - Then send back the cartridges immediately to gain an extra 100 points per cartridge and turn the 500 points into 800 or 900 points for a £20 spend ......0

Is this only available in store or does the voucher contain a code so you can use it online with Tesco Direct?:j Go on, shake your money maker! :j0

Unfortunately it is just a barcode voucher - no online code and terms state 'not redeemable through tesco.com'
The voucher booklets seem to be in different places in each store - either at entrance on the way in, at checkouts or even in the 'back to school section'I miss using my infinite coupons at Tesco!

They've been around for a couple of weeks now.
In the same leaflet there is also 250 points when you spend £10 on blank CD/DVDs. 250 points is worth £10 in deals. However, buy the DVDs that are on BOGOF, eg Kodak are currently £8.97 for 25 on BOGOF, and you get two packs for £8.97 plus 250 points.If you want to be extra ruthless on this offer, buy the cheapest cartridges that you can find which they will also accept for recycling - Then send back the cartridges immediately to gain an extra 100 points per cartridge and turn the 500 points into 800 or 900 points for a £20 spend ......
Tesco do not accept full cartridges for recycling - they must be used, so bear this in mind, ie only buy the ones you can use and then you can recycle them. Also check they are accepted for recycling under the points scheme, ie the do not accept any Epson cartridges.0 -
Thanks for this great post, saw it just in time as I need new cartridges.
The 500 extra points voucher wouldn't go through at till though, had to go to customer services and have them added.
Thanks.0 -

Yes they do if you tatty them up a bit (it take the label partially off and remove the wrappers), done it quite a lot with no problems.0 -
If anyone can send me x2 of these leaflets or the parts for the inkcartridges I would appreciate..as I really need some points to get a car service and I have looked in 3 tescoes without any luck so far.0

I used this voucher at Chester on Sunday.
Bought an HP Black Ink Cartridge, £18.00 plus £3.00 of paper.
Voucher would not scan at checkout.
Had to go to Customer Services. I was told by them, that the reason it did not go through the checkout, was because 'Mr Tesco' had put a block on them, and they had to be put through manually, because it was high value points (500). So they had to double check the receipt.
No problems with the 500 points, they were added manually. Just a warning to anyone else. Maybe local store policy or nationwide, just thought people would like to know.
