in Credit cards
Evening all,

Does anyone know if its worth paying the balance of our holiday nearly £3000 on our Tesco credit card at the cost of £74-00 just to get the clubcard points? We have had our credit card for over 6 years, i think Tesco have changed the rules on newer credit cards (less points) but i'm not sure how many points we still get?

Any help much apreciated,

Thanks

T :)

    This is the charge for using a credit card they don't charge for using a debit card!

    Ah... I would imagine it's one point per £1 spent so £30 in spending at Tesco...

    Best call and ask, if it's less than 3P worth of points per £1 spent then it's not worth doing.

    Although if it's a package holiday not booked via a travel agent then it's still worth paying for £1 of it by credit card for the section 75 protection on the full amount?
