Boost Your Tesco Clubcard Points Discussion

No,Guy - you'll need to convert only £11 in Mr T. vouchers to realise £44(always 4x face value in deals) - and your 1000pts=1000 new pence=£10 in vouchers.
Get a Clubcard Plus(please look at rptd earlier posts on this)to receive dbl pts on all shopping spends.
(not sure what is meant by 'RAF' in your post)
Being points-conscious can be very profitable, even if you spend little. You'll learn to use tillspits, extra points offers(as you have done), womble(differing schools of thought on this - I am pro.)
Make sure you join all the Clubs for their qtrly mailings and more points vouchers.
Happy harvesting.

It is 43.75 in Clubcard vouchers gives RAC roadside, recovery and at home joint - normal price £175. So I still think I am right with needing 4375 points (though more than happy to be told otherwise!)

If somebody is about to get their car insurance from Tesco, and I refer them, we both get 1000 points. RAF = Refer A Friend (sorry, I have come over from the Matched Betting forum!) That is why I wasn't sure if this was more a referral post.

Thanks for the info - these clubcard points look more interesting than I initially thought!

Sorry mate Ampersand is right.
Divide the deal cost by 4 to get how many vouchers you need.

Tesco-shopper

Tesco are currently giving 50 extra points for various children's partyware table items: paper cups, plates, tablecloths etc. They are in the Spiderman, Winnie the Pooh, Disney Princess and High School Musical ranges. Prices start from just £1.75, so 50 points (worth £2 in deals is definitely a good deal). The offer is valid until 1 June 2008 and is available instore and online.

Tesco-shopper

Tesco are currently giving extra points for various items in their children's stationery range INSTORE only. Their cheapest item is 50p for a Tesco go create super colouring book and this gives you 50 extra points (worth £2 in deals), so this is an offer not to miss! If anyone else knows of anything else offering extra points, please post what you have found here! Thanks.

The new clubcard will not work in the recycling centre because Tesco are planning to phase out the green points that the centres currently give out. I wonder who on earth they think will bother using them once that happens?

As a point of interest, the Clubcard plus never has worked in the scanner on the recycling centre - you have to get a separate card just for your recycling. If you can be bothered......! :rolleyes:

If you opened up one of these accounts, don't forget that after 31 May you can close it and still get your Clubcard Points. The current rate of interest is 5.25% including the 0.5% bonus, so you may be able to do better elsewhere.

Hi HP_Guy, hope I am also not missposting (as it's my first time), but I'm up for this RAF if you're still interested! I sent you a private message about it but posted here in case you saw this first.

My brain is hurting trying to work out whether the airmiles is as good as the other ways of using the clubcard vouchers. I am planning to save for a flight to Iceland which is 2,500 airmiles. When coverting vouchers into holiday deals, you get 4x the value, this doesnt appear to be the case with airmiles. Should I avoid paying for flight this way and use vouchers for better deals??!
