Hi Folks

My first post on this tread.

Tesco are offering 200 bonus points for own brand ink cartridges

Just bought a cartridge in store and reciept says I only got 30 points (total spend was £15). Do you normally have to wait for the extra 200 or should I go in and query it?

I think there is a problem with this offer. If you were to order 2 different ink products it will give you 200 points but with one it doesn't. I called about it and they said to call them and they will add them on and they will look into it and see what the problem is.

I am going to wait to buy mine until they fix the problem. The cheapest product is less than £4.

Using that calculation I'd have to agree, but £500 of Clubcard vouchers = 24000 Airmiles using the current offer (if you haven't changed clubcard vouchers for Airmiles before)
That's an awful lot of Airmiles to 'spend' on a week's hotel accomodation! (You could get 3 flights to Tokyo/Singapore/Cape Town/Rio De Janeiro/Vancouver for that!)

Flight to NY is 5000 Airmiles

What about if you booked your flights with Airmiles using Clubcard vouchers (5000 Airmiles = £42.50 worth of Clubcard vouchers using the current offer) and you book the hotel independently? Would that work out cheaper?

The Airmiles seem to work better for flights than hotels then.

I called up and they were unable to tell me if the offer is available in store. They also said it could take up to a month to get the points if it is. It seems that raking in the points won't be as simple as I hoped.

When i asked they said it was only available through Direct and not instore.

To be honest they never seem to know the details of extra points promotions and when you call up you seem to get a different answer.

It certainly works if the quanity is 2 (so less than £8 for 200 points) but for quantity of 1 it does not work. I tried again today online and it still has the same error.

I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place here (sorry if I'm not and sorry if its been covered already but this thread is huuuuuuuuuge and I don't have time to go through each and every post!!) but I'm a bit confused by the BA Miles deal.

I was looking at the possibility of getting two return flights to Geneva next summer for which BA say I'd need 9000 BA Air miles. But I can't see anywhere that states whether this 9000 air miles would pay for a return flight or just a one way flight?
Does anyone know?

Also the deal that Tesco are running that offers £2.50 in clubcard vouchers in exchange for 600 BA Air miles - do these figures reflect the 'free flights twice as fast' or is it actually 1200 BA Air miles you'd get in exchange for your £2.50 clubcard vouchers while they're running the promotion?

Am confusled!

Really just want to know whether I've got a cat in hell's chance of saving that amount of points by the time we were looking to go or whether I'm better off spending my vouchers elsewhere. I've currently got £30.50's worth.

Thanks

I hope they fix it, I reckon I'll be stocking up on a few 100 £3.97 inks if they do

I don't know about hte rest of it but Airmiles only do return flights. Not sure if BA Airmiles is the same though.

Now I am confused!!!!

You need 250 tesco points to get 60 airmiles.

A return flight to Geneva costs 1500 airmiles

So 2 return flights would cost 3000 miles = 12500 Tesco points.

............ or is there something I've missed.

BA Airmiles are different from Airmiles.

250 Tesco points = 60 airmiles OR 600 BA Airmiles

With Airmiles 2 return flights to Geneva cost 3000 miles, which does equate to spending £12,500 pounds at Tesco or at the current double points offer £6250, or using loads of offers to get extra points.

Using a combination of Lloyds TSB duo cards for all spending, Tesco points, Shell petrol and other means of building up airmiles I should have enough for two return flights to Chicago every 2 years for me and my husband.
