Boost Your Tesco Clubcard Points Discussion

Keeping_Positive

I was told ten days at our store but managed to get them to add as a goodwill gesture. I thought it was a month as well.

I never even thought about finding receipts from others and claiming their points (if they havn't been claimed).

I always see lots of receipts left in trolleys & baskets, I will be checking them from now on.

What is the time limit to add them to your card ?.

The time limit changed a couple of months ago. I used to vary in different stores but it is now 14 days in all stores and only 2 receipts a day.

I would have saved up for something else from MFI having done quite nicely thank-you with my cooker hood but they've stopped that. I don't really do holidays, have just got my fees paid with OU on account of my low income, and my children are past days out at theme parks. A magazine subscription might be a nice idea but that would still leave me a hundred or so pounds of vouchers and I think I'd rather have the money! Goodness I sound boring.

Sorry to but in but this sounds exactly like me except that I bought a fridge with the last lot of MF vouchers and the magazine for my mum. Then I stopped using supermarkets in Dec 2006 but DH still uses them for petrol so I have a few saved

I keep looking at Goldsmiths but I'm not really into jewelery.

Quite a few do sell on Ebay

Tesco Clubcard Voucher "Valid until:" dates can be extended if they are in danger of running out after the 2 years. Just e-mail your request to:

[EMAIL="customer.service@tesco.co.uk"]customer.service@tesco.co.uk[/EMAIL]

..... and give them the value of the voucher, the online code of the voucher, the valid until date and your account number and they will issue a replacement in the next batch they send to you. Don't loose your money by never cashing them in (for deals). Tesco probably make quite a lot of cash from some of these vouchers never being cashed in - and that is probably one of the reasons they have expiry dates on them. It's a bit like the 20% or so of gift vouchers issued by retailers that are never redeemed and become clear profit for the issuers - money for doing very little - I wish I'd thought of it first.

How come so many of you use MOC when you do your shop? Do you receive them regularly? I only have coupons when i have my club card coupons every few months. Am I missing something? Would appreciate any comments on this.

Holiday deal tokens usually have the surname on them.

Hi

Can anyone remember when we received the last lot of clubcard vouchers / mailing? It usually says on the receipt all points up to dd/mm/yy have been credited and will be with you soon or something? I thought it was end of Nov.

It's just that on 4/12/07 I had 426 points on one card and now I've only got 101 points - hope it's not been taken off with too much wombling or anything?!?

TIA

I found an old receipt that said the last lot were credited on 21 october. Does that mean the current lot are 21st Jan? Better up my points tally!

If you have a look through there are various tips on where to find coupons - this one about any coupons in magazines that is updated regularly - sometimes it actually pays you to buy the magazine, because the coupons have a face value higher than that of the mag

If your Tesco has a pharmacy, they often have leaflets with bonus points and money off coupons too - again a thread devoted to this

Not forgetting any you can print off from the internet - try this thread

There's a forum called Discount codes n vouchers here
http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/forumdisplay.html?f=38

Last but not least, it's worth looking at the daily newspaper summary to see which freebies and MOCs are in that day's paper - just search in forums by putting in "newspaper x january" each day.

Have fun! But it can be addictive!

Hi,
Beware of wombling with barcode receipts.
If you have more than one clubcard you can womble 2 receipts per visit for any kind of purchase as long as they are less than 2 weeks old.
DO NOT USE THE SAME CLUBCARD FOR YOUR SHOPPING IN STORE AT THAT VISIT.
That is how the Tesco software picks up wombling.
Also take a look at the clubcard number on your key fob - that will be different from the initial card you have used.
