I have heard that that are tightening up the deals and rewards, you will only be able to use a certain percentage towards your holidays, my understanding now is that airmiles will be the best way to go, as both Virgin and Cosmos have cranked up the prices to customers using deals.

For example, I phoned 2 weeks ago for a holiday to Malaysia, it came in at a total of £2800. On Monday when the news filtered through I rang again and the total is now £3850. The CA informed me that yes all prices had been increased if using Tesco deals, she knew that the terms were changing but was not sure what and when but all prices increased on 3rd August.

Since then, I have worked out that i am better off with airmiles.
Nothing on tesco website as yet.

It looks like they are clamping down on the deals and they won't be worth the same value especially the holiday tokens.

I'm part of the team working on the new Clubcard.

First of all, it's not Clubcard 2, it's "Clubcard Squared". The premise is that you'll recieve one point for the first £10 you spend in a month, then 2 points for the second, 4 for the third, 8 for fourth, 16 for the fifth, and so on.

This is to reward higher spending customers, as a £100 spend will reward you with 1+2+4+8+16+32+64+128+256+512 points (1023 points).

Clubcard Deals will finish, but as you can see, spending £100 will give you £10.23 worth of points, to be spent as you wish.

Things like Double Up and till spits will end too, to make the system simpler.

To help keep track of your points, they must be spent within 24 hours of the end of the month, or they will expire. For security, you must visit your nearest Clubcard Squared Service Desk (there's one in Luton and one in Plymouth) and convert your points into vouchers. You can then use these vouchers at the CC Squared Redemption Centre in Basildon.

An administration charge of 1p per point is being added to points that are unused, to stop people hoarding points.

Existing Clubcard Plus holders will recieve a replacement card, a Clubcard Squared Super Bonus Plus Card. The CC2SB+ card will be chip and pin, avoiding the need to sign for purchases. This will also increase security. As a second security measure, the new cards will be 7 meters by 4 meters and made of anodised aluminum, in order to make it easier to see if someone's stealing your card. If stolen, the card will electify, and automatically taser the thief.

The Clubcard Squared also has a host of other benefits. Members can show their card at other supermarkets such as ASDA, Sainsbury's, and Morrisons, to recieve an instant discount of 0.0% off their food bill. This discount will be extended to other outlets soon.

Members will be automatically transitioned to the new cards in due course. A membership fee of £69.99 a month will apply, with a minimum membership term of 20 years. To opt out of the new chargable Squared scheme, current cardholders should call us on 0800 591866 and ask to speak to Mr. I. M. Stupid.

At what point while reading the above did you realise I was taking the mickey, then?

The extra slip of paper that you sometimes get with your till receipt. Usually money off or extra points coupon(s).

If you're lucky it might even be for something that you actually buy occasionally.
