Get paid £2 for spending £1.25 on marg! Plus other Tesco bonus points offer

bluecowonthebus

I've just been to my local Tesco Extra (Yeovil) and not all these offers are available there. The milk and the bacon are but not the margarine, not that I could see anyway. Plus I only got 75 points when I'd finished and I should have got at least 90. Plus the checkout person didn't scan my Clubcard even though I gave it to her and I had to go to Customer Services. So be vigilant if you are shopping for points!! Next time I'll write down what I think I should have and make sure I get it at the till.

I also remind myself when I'm shopping that the Clubcard scheme is run by Tesco for Tesco - a bit like casinos where the house always wins. A lot of these points are on Tesco Finest products where the mark up must be huge. And the time delay between shopping and cashing in your vouchers also benefits Tesco. For some people who are building up Airmiles, that takes years.

Apart from an elementary mathematical mistake, OP fails to take into account cost of goods themselves when attempting to calculate so-called profit figures. There are significantly better deals out there than the ones highlighted, notably in after-shaves and perfumes if one looks closely enough.

Sorry i'm not sure exactly but definitely the baked crisps (i got caught out yesterday by this!) and i think the milk. The signs aren't very clear, i read the sign for the crisps but didn't notice you had to buy 2. I checked on tesco website when i got in though and it's on there. Still not too bad an offer as i buy them anyway but not as good as i thought!

Noticed in local Tesco that the offer on the Butter has been dropped from 50 to 10 points.

I am sure Tesco know exactly what they are doing. They just want to get free publicity and get non Tesco customers in their stores, and it works.

Not sure if they should make these points offers with a specific end date and then reduce the points before the end date??

i have just bought four butters and got 50 points on each even though the shelf label said 10 points. the label was folded over to hide where it said 50 and another label over it said 10, but i still got 200 for four packs. happy days'!

Hi all. Went to Tesco's today thought I would buy some perfume. Bought Benetton's 'Hot' (the one that has a red top that looks like a tap). Cost £13, but got an extra 500 clubcard points! There were other points too on some of the other pefumes. I just wanted a fairly cheap one for work. Worth buying even for a gift for someone. Had a good look around the supermarket to find any other deals. Stocked up on wine, althought he 25% discount on 6 bottles has finished, there are still a few giving 100, 150 and some 300 points per bottle, so worth it if you need wine. Don't forget to get as many clubcard points by 26th July if you want them included in your next statement which comes out in August. Happy clubcard shopping. :j

I have a 1kg tub of tesco Olive Spread and it says on the bottom that it can be frozen.

All of mine only state *keep refrigerated*

Are you sure you are looking at the correct product?
Wouldn't want everyone to fill their freezers with the stuff if it gets ruined by the freezing process;)
