I was thrilled to discover I can get up to 100 club card points each time by recycling my old inkjet printer cartridges...or you can donate the money equivalent to tesco's charity this year CLIC sargent.
You can recycle and claim the points up to 30 times in a year so that's £30 worth of vouchers. or £120 of club card deals!
the recycling factory webiste shows which cartridges they will recycle (NOT Epson ones!)

100 points on selected Restaurant Selection items when you buy a main and a dessert. Bought four mains on Saturday, didn't see the ''and a dessert'' bit, when I complained about the missing points on the till receipt I was spun the line ''they will be added within four to six weeks, check by phoning customer services''. Got home and called CS they also said they will be added within four to six weeks. Now I know it was my own stupid fault, too lazy to put my specs on so missed the second part of the SEL, but you would think the customer service staff would have checked the offer out themselves when I enquired instead of fobbing me off. Anyway, went back yesterday and asked again and the regular, nice, CS lady checked it out for me and pointed out my error, just wish they had done this on the day when I bought the original batch of meals as I would have bought the puds also and got the points!

Not wanting to burst your bubble but this has been going for ages. At first they were quite good at giving out the points but they only give them for cartridges which pass their 'test' and, although I've never exceeded the 30 a year limit, all the cartridges I sent in 2009 failed their tests. :mad:
Funny that, as I used to split them between the points envelopes and sending them direct to the same company for £, amazingly very few of the ones I sent for £ fail the test!

Similar has happened to me, I'm saving them up to get cash now too, glad to hear that this more successful.

Where do you send them for cash and how much do you get for them in cash compared to Tesco deals?

Has anyone else noticed the points on products in store creeping back in again?

I've seen them on organic fairtrade teabags, finest tiramisu and creamy mozzarella recently.

But I never have time to scour every shelf. Any more?

Easy way to check is via the website - in the special offers menu, there's a "Extra Points" section. Currently they have Copella Apple, Oral B toothbrush heads and Finest Tea bags. May vary according to your local store also I guess.
