Do you still get 100 points for compatable ink cartridges?

... only certain types of cartridge qualify... original Lexmark, Canon, (I think) HP and a couple of others. Tesco give points on these supposedly under green issues (double green clubcard points for cartridges), but that's apparently false as they only want the cartridges back to profit from them. You could sell these for more to a cartridge refiller. If Tesco was really being honest, they wouldn't dress their profiteering up as eco-sense.

I bought a 97p DVD with mine!:j

Ive got a extra points (from clubcard deals mailing ) for 450 if buy a DVD valued over £30. do I have to pay £30 to get the points.

You say you brought a 97p dvd and still got points even though it stated spend £5 on a DVD

Anyone tried buying a cheaper priced DVD and getting the points.

Thanks

Not quite true. I checked the company Tesco use and another I have used before ( https://www.phoenixdirectuk.co.uk ). The maximum price they would pay me for any of the HP carts I had was 1.66 so I decided to send them off for the money BUT many were 20-30p. Ditto Canon and Lexmark. Like I say this was not just the Tesco recycling firm but another. The vast majority they pay you up to a pound.

Personally I would rather get 100 points which I could use either as a pound off my shopping or 4 pounds off a Deal for stuff I would buy anyway (eg Eurotunnel which I use 2-3 times a year) than 20-30p.

You do *usually* have to spend the amount it states. I think there has been some confusion here caused by earlier poster. I had a points coupon stating ''ANY DVD'' which I assume the other poster also had. Yours stated ''DVD over £5'' so you have to spend over £5 to get the points.

Sometimes they do work without the spend but in my experience this is the exception rather than the rule.

Hope that helps

Good idea about foraging for used receipts....think I will lurk round Tesco's bins at midnight and see what I can find!!!!
I have recently booked a "free"" holiday with Cosmos to Costa del Sol, courtesy of tesco vouchers...and last year used them to pay for purple parking, mag subscriptions and alton towers!
Any other ideas for accruing points gratefully received!!!!

I dont see whats iffy about wombling? How an it be "foul" to pick up an unwanted reciept with points? Original customer obviously didnt want them?
