    Tesco Finest Earl Grey tea bags (100, costing £2.19) have 50 extra points on them. No need for a voucher, just automatically goes on your card.
    I'm stocking up as we buy these anyway! :)

    The 50 points offer is also on Tesco Finest English Breakfast tea (50 for £2) and Assam (100 for £2.39)

    Does anyone know if there are any extra points on for eye tests at the mo? Had a look on the site, but as I couldn't see them (boom boom) last time it was on I thought I'd ask.

    Many thanks.

    I saw in store today:

    25 extra points when you buy 2 x 2 pints of Tesco own Milk

    basically for non tesco spending and exchanging your points vouchers for deals at x 4 the card pays back 1%. So if you spend 800/month you will get 8 back per month when exchanged for deals.

    for tesco spending which includes petrol at tesco the rate is 5 points per £4 spent which adds up to 5% when exchanged for the deals at x4. So on a monthly spend of £200 at tesco you would get back £10 in deals tokens

    so the total added together is £18/month or £216 a year

    I think my calculations are correct but do correct me anybody if I'm wrong.

    I have an alternative which is the clubcard plus card which pays back 2 points per pound in store and on petrol. This amounts to 8% cashback when exchanged for deals - I tried getting a tesco credit card for the cashback but found I was spending like crazy on it - if you can be trusted not to spend extra on a credit card just because you have one, then it makes sense but if you are like me the profit from the cash back will be eaten up by the extra spending! The clubcard plus account is entirely different because you can choose not to have an overdraft facility and everything is paid up front in regular amounts.

    hi all, have just started reading this thread and would just like to know how long does it take you to save up for a £3000 holiday?? Wouldn't this takes loads of years??? in our house, we roughly get about £9 worth of vouchers every time

    I would say if you took advantage of every single offer it would be a year minimum

    Also don't forget the clubcard vouchers they send expire after 2 years... However there are round ways this. You would need £750 of vouchers, say you get £10 a quarter thats £40 a year so 19 years at the rate you receive vouchers now!

    The recycling can easily get you £45 per year alone btw.

    I'm currently saving vouchers for a £2000 holiday - I'm half way there, but think it'll take another year, so all in all it will have taken about 18months.
    But you have to be on the look out all the time for any offers, and also take advantage of the recycling deals for ink cartridges and mobile phones.
    (100 per ink cartridge 200/300 points per working mobile - visit website for full t&c's)

    But if you currently only get £9 a quarter its going to be a massive step up, have you thought about getting a Tesco Credit Card or Clubcard Plus?
