    Sainsburys take Electron online. When my Solo card changed to an Electron one I had to start getting my shopping delivered from Sainsburys.

    When I phoned Tescos to ask why they don't take Electron they didn't have an answer. Maybe head office would know. It's really bugged me that the biggest supermarket in the country won't take such a well known card.

  • something to do with they way electron works

    tesco system requires them to swipe your card if its electron...

    in store if your electron doesnt swipe they never used to be able to enter manually!!!
    dont know if instore situation has changed i am lucky enough to have a visa debit...


    tesco insurance doesnt take electron either unless u phone up!!!!

    maybe if enough people complain they might change it!

    Electron IS a visa debit isn't it? That's what it says on the card.
