    I use Tesco Direct regualrly with no problems. Probably just having computer problems. Every service with Tesco seems to have computer problems every so often. You would think that a huge company like that would have better IT. Its a waste of time contacting Tesco Direct by e-mail as they seem to skim read your e-mail and then answer a competely different question to what you asked.
  • I had same problem when on several occasions tried to register and got the same kind of message.

    I then went onto try clicking on the forgot password recovery and it seemed to recognise
    my email ( ie, it did not say that email is not registered etc )
    next i telephoned customer services , and they had no record of my email address! and suggested trying again:mad:

    so this time i registered but did NOT put in my clubcard number
    (ticked no club card )
    that time worked ! and i was in.:D
    later i added my clubcard details ( all in all a vey long winded way to sign up on a net based retailer ):money:

    i use mozilla , perhaps it possibly has something to do with that ?

    as mrcol1000 above suggests maybe Tesco need to invest more in their
    IT dept

    Most large organisations will have IT problems which somehow affects their customers whether they know it or not at somepoint!
    When dealing with the CSA its important to note that it is commonly accepted as unfit for purpose, and by default this also means the staff are unfit for purpose.
  • hey,

    i did get a reply from Tesco Customer services manager .

    He acknowledges there is a problem with certain clubcard numbers
    being accepted into their system. Anyways they have manually set up my account now.
    (was hoping for some clubcard points for the hassel :p )
