Boosting your Tesco Clubcard Points Discussion Area

adoreholidays

We r buying 2 meals for £10 or over from the extra pts range both of us doing 2 trans each therfore getting 300 + double pts for amount spent x 4, so what we r spending we get back in deals. Only problem our cc keeps getting stopped and they have to ring to get authorized as they think its unusual hubby not happy and thinks I am mad done it twice so far.

Hello adoreholidays,
I have learnt that authorisation is required when your CC[in my case the glorious CC+]is used more than 4times in a day. This has happened to me during Points Hunt'n'Gather sorties. It's simply overcome; you speak with someone in tpf and satisify them that you are you, via p/w, security ?s and a simple chat.
Good luck!

What do you mean "Hunt'n'Gather sorties" ?? If you do not have your clubcard when you are at the till, fair enough - the CSD will put the points on for you later. But if you take other people's receipts, it could lead you to being 'banned' for abuse of the clubcard system!!

Newbie poster speaks methinks.

When good offers are on, it's often necessary to trot around several stores and go further afield for complete/optimum item range.
Banking on CC+ is one use, petrol is another, each checkout another. During the wine offer, multiple checkouts were often necessary, in order to maximise points and use up Tesco Wine Club vouchers which tied in with such purchases.

Later receipt points can only be added two at a time and are valid for 2 weeks only.

I will ignore your last sentence as it bears no relation to anything I wrote or do.

It is probably the reason that CSD only 'add two at a time' because of some people who trawl for discarded receipts with points on.
If you have a CC+ & are happy with it - hang on to it, it is not open to new applicants.

Bit of an update on my issues with Tesco vouchers for my fiance for the OU being in my name and him not being allowed to use them. Tesco have said if we send them back to them, they will reissue them all in his name, despite being gained on me and mums cards, as we're at the same address. So big relief, and should get him on his second year of the degree after all.

For those of you who don't know what the latest points offers are, check out this link.
There are quite a few Finest points offers you could combine with the 100 points coupon from the Real Food booklet...

Dear Tesco experts

I have a (probably silly question). I'm trying to save up enough airmiles for flights to our wedding destination, I'm short of 70 airmiles I don't want to wait until the next Tesco statement and noticed that lots of people sell tesco vouchers on eBay... has anyone ever bought them and used them successfully on Airmiles?

Many thanks for any advice!

I dont think you can do this. When you order airmiles as a reward, they automatically go on your account, if you dont have one, one will be opened in "your name", thus being the name that is on the voucher.
£2.50 in clubcard vouchers give you £60 airmiles. For 70 airmiles you would need £3.00 clubacrd vouchers (not even that but you can only add in 50p amounts. Can you not get this amount by 9th may?
Currently some finest teabags have 50 extra points on them, are around £2-£3 each - buy 6 boxes - £18 max = 300 points = enough airmiles. HTH
