Tesco Internet Saver card reader security

Old_Yorky

Like many others I am still waiting for the card reader.

But armed with card and pin I tried my Barclays reader........works fine.

I have a card and a PIN now, not sure if the they tried to deliver the reader today as I have a "Sorry you were out" card from Royal Mail.

Something weird happened when I logged into my a/c today. I tried to transfer some money from my Tesco Instant a/c to my Tesco Internet saver a/c using the drop down menu on the left hand side.

However, when I tried to do this, it gave me the accounts of a Mr R Cassidy! When I went back to the main "my accounts" page and back in again, it gave the correct accounts. I've no idea who Mr R Cassidy is.

BTW, I looged into my account using my personal laptop in my study. No one else has access to it.

Sounds like a gremlin, but I'd report it to them immediately, just in case.

Just in case some people are misunderstanding,it is still possible to transfer money online without a card reader to your nominated bank account.This is the bank account you 1st. used to pay in to Tesco.

Not possible for me. I was told I could nominate a bank account when my account was up and running (on line). When I now try to do that online, I'm just being told that I need to order a card reader, which I've now done.

This is ridiculous ... it's taken me over 3 weeks to be able to register online to access my account (due to various technical problems with their website) and I now have to wait for my card reader and then a pin!

It makes a complete joke of the "bonus" 1.5% for the first year when I have so little in the account at the moment. I want to add to it when I eventually get my IceSave money back, but to be honest, it's such a shambles, I feel like closing the account already ... :eek:

Stick with it MimiJane. It drove me nuts waiting for my card reader when I was desperate to access my money for a deposit for my house purchase. I've had the card reader for some time now and the Tesco account is very good - faster payment system, add any number of payees, easy to use. In fact, if you think you are going to have to wait a long time for your card reader and are desperate for one, send me a SAE jiffy bag and I'll send you one of my spare ones by return as they sent too many! PM me if you want to do that.

That's really kind of you ... thanks :T I'll certainly bear your offer in mind if I don't receive it soon. Just a thought, but would it work if I didn't have a pin number? (Don't know anything about these card readers:rolleyes:)

You will need to receive the card and pin number for it first.

I tried to create a new payee this morning and was told that I had to print off the request and send it to Tesco at the freepost address and it would take up to 3 weeks to be processed. I don't have a card reader, have never been prompted towards one and don't want one, in fact this account is a pain all round as far as I'm concerned.
