No problem, you might just want to try getting home delivery - that's what we're doing now. We use the 750 point coupons weekly so that's £30 worth of deals a week, which equates to 720 airmiles per month!

Which 750 point coupons please? Where do you find them? We tend to do one home delivery per month and top up in between - its only me, my husband and three spoiled cats!

Hi, unfortunately I can't post them in this thread per the rules. The codes may not work all the time but they ususally do. Click here. Scroll down to where it says: "TESCO POINTS VOUCHER CODES - EXTRA CLUBCARD points". Press ctrl + f and type in "extra clubcard" on that page if you can't find it. You can also google "750 extra clubcard points" for more codes. The codes usually start with "XX". In this thread people sometimes post codes (almost every day) some are £5 off a £50 spend but some are of 750 points if you spend £50. If you need any further help, don't hesitate to ask. (or PM me)

Do your grocery shopping on tesco.com - signup and add your clubcard to your account. Then do your shopping on the tesco.com site, book a delivery slot and use coupons from this thread here or from this site here. Use the codes that say 750 extra points on a £50 shop. This means when you spend £50 or more you get your standard 1 point per pound and 750 extra points. That means 800 points or £8.00 worth of tesco vouchers a week. That equates to around 192 airmiles a week. So around 720-800 arimiles a month. In my previous post I meant to say 720 airmiles a month. Hope this helps.

Month not week

I was going to say 36000 miles a year just normal shopping at Tesco was something I wanted to be part of.

Did any of you guys avail of the Tesco points on wine a cpuple of years ago ? Well a small loopho;le allowed you to buy a few bvotteles of wine or cases and then take them back ( having already gor your pionts of course ) and get a voucher ( No Receipt ) to spend in store ? Just go and buy the same amount of bottles again with the voucher and guess what - more points oh dear ...... gained 10,000 airmiles through tirning over several bottles per weak. Waiting for the next promo......

Does anyone know if the premium clubcard scheme is still around where you get 80 miles per 2.50£ instead of 60?

yes its still around but only for people who converted their tesco clubcard points to airmiles a long time ago.

Please can I come in here, on the side, to talk about my airmiles account being cancelled at the end of August? I have 2,981 airmiles which have been in my account for years, and I have never used any before. I could use them in their Zone 3, but there is a problem.

The holidays in Zone 3 look ok but none of them fly from Bristol. We don't want to travel to Exeter, or London, or even Manchester, to fly to Europe. We live near to Bristol International Airport, which the airmiles company do not use! It is stupid!

Letters in reply from them say I can use the airmiles in their 'Activities' section, but none of them are suitable to us, both being 65 years old and active, but not adventurously so!

So that's the problem: they get to cancel my account at the end of August. I lose out!

No

You will be able to get flights from Bristol but it will cost you 500 miles extra. (zone 2 then for you).

You only need to add one airmile to your account to keep it active, if you buy something from ebay (£10+) do this on airmiles and it will keep your account active!

Yes they will be closing the loop holes... and if you change the address with the owner (from ebay)... allow 30 days to pass and then merge it should all be fine. (30 days just to stop people from airmiles catching on). Paperwork should be easy to sort.

Hello again, thanks for your replies.

To cundall: I know about the 500 airmiles penalty, and I am appalled by it, to be honest. There must be quite a lot of airmiles collectors in the west of England who are being ripped off by that one!

I cannot add more airmiles to my account for the simple reason that I do not own a Lloyds Duo account. When NatWest stopped being associated with the airmiles company I did not bother to change over to the Duo system.

I have not used airmiles before, and never thought I'd use them as I never flew anywhere, and now I realise that they will take them away from me because I don't have the Duo account. It's unfair. I still use my NatWest Mastercard and don't need to have the Lloyds Duo as well. Why should I have two credit cards when one will do? Maybe I am being stubborn about that! It would have been nice to use the airmiles I have got though, and not to lose them. I wonder what monetery value they are: 2,981 airmiles?


To atticgeneral: Wow, what a mess and hassle that is! Are airmiles that valuable as to warrant such an effort? I have my doubts! I wouldn't buy them from eBay with all that it entails, as you have described. I hope you manage to get some worth out of it, after all.
