    Just bought 2 x Nokia 1208 online at a unit price of £17.97.

    Online Order Confirmation confirms total cost of £34.94 with 2070 clubcard points and free delivery on an item thats described as "Tesco Mobile Nokia 1208 mobile phone Black includes £10 top-up"

    Can sell each at Fonebank for £5 therefore by my calculations (after using up the 'free' £20 credit of course) I'll be in theoretical profit of £57.86. Will however try to sell via ebay (with credit) for c£10 making theoretical profit of £67.86.....................................I think.


    I bought 2 phones in one transaction about 10 days ago and had my order cancelled due to their T&C's on Bulk Buying, so beware you may well get an email through advising this.

    I just ordered online Nokia 1208 (spare phone). £10 free credit, states on website 1000 points for any tesco mobile as previously mentioned by others. I don't think Tesco have updated there systems online to exclude the £10 credit and give the points. I will chase the points up later on as I have bookmarked all the pages stating same.

    Cheap phone for £4.97 after your £10 credit also £40 worth of clubcard deals, can't complain really.


    ok phone for £14.97 this morning online with £10 credit. Just phoned as 1000 free points not on online receipt. The lady I spoke to said once I receive the phone to telephone and they will add the points, they can't do anything until phone is signed for. She stated that they should have been added on purchase but systems weren't updated anyway saved £3 on the current price. Can't complain too much

    To mention, on ebay you can buy the old envelopes worth 500 points when you recycle your mobile for about £4/£4.50.

    So, purchase your phone at £14.97 plus £4 odd = £20.

    Points - 1,000 from your phone and 500 from recycling = 1,500 = £60 in deals = profit of £40!

    You will no longer be awarded 500 points when recycling a phone (even when using an old envelope).

    If you are already with Tesco mobile you may be able to get a discount. Details here: http://www.tesco.com/mobilenetwork/content-mtm.aspx?page=19

    I have just bought a phone in the shop. I have the 1000 on the receipt and a note saying I can get the £10 top up by ringing 283. Altho it says I must do this by 10th Jan 2010!!

    All they have for t&c on the website is
    1000 Clubcard points when you buy any Mobile phone Terms and Conditions
    1. Clubcard points will be awarded in your next clubcard statement.
    2. Offer ends 24th January 2010.
    I spoke to a very nice woman on the cs desk and she said that the old offer instore/online was 10 free credit for the cheaper phones then 10000 for the phones over 40 both of which ended yesterday. The new deal was that with any pay as you go phone you should only get 1000 but she said that may just be instore only. She also said that if you bought in store and don't have the 1000 points on the receipt then you not likely to get it.
    Play nice :eek: Just because I am paranoid doesn't mean they are not out to get me.:j

    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.
