I got 6 white and 6 red Torres. My question is -as my points are automatically converted to airmiles-how many points per airmile?
Second question: Am I better receiving vouchers and then using them to convert into airmiles?

I get my vouchers automatically changed to airmiles and i get 80 miles for 250 clubcard points. I know it was 60 for new customers. You can check you airmiles statement online and it says.

You can normally only use 1 code beginning with xx at a time, you put the codes in on the last screen where you add your cc details, (its in the box above the payment box). try both codes though, if one doesn't work it'll be banked for you, for next time.

Thank you! I can only seem to get the extra points code to work, but cest la vie.

About to order when I realised I was late for sports day, so I put it on hold. I'm in a dilemma now though, in case I order & it's OOS. I'll be passing two Tesco's this afternoon- so I'll see if there's any there first I think...but then theres's the extra 750 points...decisions decisions! :cool:

I also have my points converted into Airmiles, but on this occasion I decided to pick up another application instore for a new card so I could also have a card for clubcard deals.

My delivery turned up, with 10 substituted bottles of wine, the only 2 that were correct were pink torres, but i'm not prepared to pay £4.50 delivery for 2 bottles of wine, so it all got sent back.
I think its disgraceul that tesco never order enough to supply the demand. This isn't the 1st time its happened and i'm sure it won't be the last!

Err, the demand for what is more or less free money (with bonus free wine!) is actually pretty close to infinite. So should they buy a billion bottles of wine so there's plenty to go around?

There are a number of reasons some stores get more than others etc etc - but certainly a big part of the idea these days is to get people through the door. Some people will get a bargain, some won't. You've got to be happy if you do, but shouldn't be bitter if you don't....

It isn't really, how would they know this website would create extra demand.

Been in the local Tesco today,(kisdgrove), not a bottle of Torres wine in sight and no sign of any offer apart from the 25% discount offer on any 6 bottles or more .Standard clubcard points

Disappointed, bum steer this one

They realise that its a good deal, and that customers are going to want it, so why not order enough in, bet as soon as the offers finished the shelves will be stacked.
I'm not just bitter about this particular offer, its the fact that it happens so often with my online orders.

Didn;t tesco do a promise voucher where if the product was out of stock when its back in they would match the offer price? and in this case the bonus points?

I went in store yesterday afternoon (Portsmouth) and they had lots of bottles of white on the aisle end, and more on the shelves too.

I got 1 rose and 5 white, no problem, all points and discount went straight through.

So now everyone will be getting wine for Birthdays and Christmas this year (as I'm not much of a wine drinker) and I will take OH out for a nice meal when the points vouchers come through! :T

I got the Cava from Horwich this morning. The lady who was stacking shelves went and got me an unopened box from the back, because there were no wine carriers. She said there was a lot of stock. And she knew why I was buying it!
