Boosting your Tesco Clubcard Points Discussion Area

Not sure if this is the right place, but seeing as it's a points boosting thread - noticed today when I was putting my online shop together that they have a 200points DVD offer - and some of the DVDs are as little as £6.71, which means you're in profit.

It's all kids DVDs on my online availability (Ben10, Bolt etc), and a couple are triple packs, so great if you want to buy early for christmas or just give the kids a end of holiday treat. Valid from today until 6th Sept.

What happens if you buy these, then the next day return them for a refund? Do you still get the points? If you do, does it count as fraud? I'm all for loopholes but don't want to be doing anything illegal.

Is anyone else noticing the points are not updating on your receipt?

My receipt says I have 22 points, which is what was left after the last lot were converted to vouchers. But I've done three shopping trips since then, none of the points have been added to my balance.

Check this one out against the T&C's. I seem to remember that you can't return games, DVDs, CD's etc unless faulty. I've certainly returned clothes after using extra points coupons with no trouble, but not sure about the DVD's.

There was a big delay in updating the points when the statements came out (my points were still showing on reciept when I had received mine!). I suspect that they are still having the same problems.

Just a quick question - I am probably being a bit thick here but here goes..
I received £18.50 in clubcard vouchers - I have just used £15 of these to double up for toys online. What happens to the £3.50 ie if I don't use this, will it automatically get added onto my next statement in a couple of months time?

Yes. It will be added onto your next statement

double up for toys...does that include buying a Nintendo Wii for example?

I would like to warn everyone.... I buy Pedigree complete puppy food 3K for my puppy packs... in the last 3 months, the price has gone up from £5.49 to £7.59 in my Tesco. When I buy these I buy between 8-12 packs in one visit.. Well MR Tesco, it went back on the shelf and I bought them from Pets at Home, which were over a £1 cheaper than tesco...
I took the bag to CS just to check, and it came up that the price was correct...
Seems like they are putting prices of other items up to cover, what could be double up deals???
Be very aware.... tesco is at it again. xxxxxxx

I don't think you can use the double up rewards for game consoles etc. I am actually after a vtech camera for my daughter for Xmas and hoping I can use my vouchers for this.

Yes, same here - my husband has just drawn to my attention that we've been stuck on 444 points for the last three shopping trips.
