Tesco Clubcard Account 'Stolen'

OK... not stolen but the point remains.

My OH had a Tesco Clubcard in her name and when I applied for a Tesco credit card I used the number on the key fob I had to link her account with my credit card so max the benefit.

What happened is my details replaced the OH's account completely and now the clubcard is 100% in my name. The OH still has a clubcard with her name on but Tesco today told me that its now under my name, my address etc.

My understanding is I (incorrectly) used the OH's clubcard number on my key fob when I should have said that I don't actually have a club card.

It is not an issue for me or the OH but surely its a failure in the system, I took over the OH's account (and points) without Tesco even asking her!

    Maybe report it to the customer services and keep on reporting it until you get a satisfactory answer?

    Did you want a joint account in both your names or an account each? (unsure)
  • The weird thing is that when I applied for a Tesco CC, I also gave them my clubcard details to link with it, and I ended up with two clubcard accounts, one for my CC and one on it's own that I have jointly with my OH.

    Not complaining though, keep getting vouchers through for X off X spend on the low usage one!!

    This happened to me too. But I do like the double voucher thing too :D

    I wanna try it - anyone with 1,000,000 points, let me know and I will try it with your clubcard number! :) Knowing TEsco even though we have different names, different addresses and no connection, they may let me take over your account!
