Tesco/Texaco loyalty cards

cowshed-76

Please forgive me if this is the wrong forum to post this question in.

Currently I do not have a Tesco club card. My question is should I get one and do i really need one? I normally get my lunch from Tesco as it is the only store within walking distance of work during my lunch break. So the majority of my purchases come to under £5. Is it worth having their card?

My journey to work is aprx 10 miles and living in quite a rural area there is only one fuel station that i pass and this where i normal buy my fuel. Should i use the Texaco loyalty card and colect their points? The only ther place I could purchase fuel without going miles out of my way would be tesco's. The only draw back there would mean driving the car for 1/2 mile each way in my break and using more fuel.

What suggestions can you make?

Cheers

my personal solutions - if you really want to save money -
get both cards
buy petrol at whichever place is selling it cheapest and use your card

make your lunch at home and dont buy lunches from tesco.

they have the clubcards instore either on the customer service desk or as the checkout operator - they have temporary card which you can ring freephone and register they will send a permanent on and you get a keyring card which is handy for when you get petrol.

Did u know you can also use clubcard vouchers to pay for petrol alot of people seem to think you can only use them instore.

Im going to save any clubcard vouchers towards xmas - can this be done or is there a time limit in which you have to spend them?

this covers most things - the vouchers last for 2 years btw!

and if you are saving for a large purchase and want to keep the vouchers for more than two years, Tesco will take the vouchers back and re-issue the points to you.

You need to ring them to sort it out, but they are fairly easy-going about it.

Bearing in mind that you get 1 clubcard pont for each whole pound spent a £2.50 sandwich would earn you 2 points.

To earn enough points to get a "free" sandwich using the accrued points you would need to buy 125 sandwiches at a total cost of £312.50.

Far better to take your own to work.
