I got £35 from TopCashBack for car insurance which I have just requested to be transferred to tesco for my Xmas clubcard savings. Got an extra £2 for doing this.

My OH also asked me to book a small mid week break. Found that the holiday provider was on TCB so got 6% CB which is approx £15. This will also goto Xmas savings.

Decided to do this rather than leaving money sat in TCB or at least not having all eggs in one basket. There is a £50 limit but it is better than nothing and aids the Xmas Savin.

Also, replaced the printer cartridges in m printer. Placed the old ones in tesco envelope and got another 200 ponts. Woo hoo. They are stacking up lowly but surely.

Sorry for the longish post..

I and Mrs have 2 separate Topcashback Account but same Clubcard Account. I noticed that we seem to have 2 clubcards between us with different number, but any points earned on either card gets credited to the same tesco clubcard account.

Now if I give 2 different clubcard numbers to TCB for redemption for mine and Mrs account there is no way for TCB to know that those 2 different clubcard numbers belong to the same ultimate account.

However Tesco would be able to see that the total credit in a year from TCB is more than £50. Does anyone know if Tesco will create an issue?

I called up Tesco to ask the question, but in the first place the guy had no idea about Topcashback and then when I pointed to the 1500+ points credited last week on my account, he said oh yes there wouldn't be any problem from their side if 10,000 points a year got credited from TCB. However his lack of knowledge doesn't inspire confidence that he knew what he was saying.

Anyone who knows what the Tesco policy on this might be?

Before anyone asks the reason I prefer to have points credited to same tesco account rather than 2 separate accounts is that there are some pay in full deals (e.g. cineworld annual pass for £75 last year) where it helps to have more points in one account rather than spread out across two.

HI Everyone
Has anyone ever gone over their 30,000 limit in a 3 month period and still got all the vouchers when they are issued. I have over 30,000 and wondered what would happen

Never heard of anyone getting that many points. Unless you have got the points as the result of some promotion, that would explain it, you will probably be stuck at the limit.

Best wat is to get a card for another family member

Thanks for that, is it correct that you get 200 points for recycling ink cartridges? If that's right, that makes 900 points for a £15.98 spend? Making you at least £2 better off if you use double up promo's, more if you use a reward that's x3?
I thought those days were gone! Really want to get back into the clubcard points boosting,hoping to save up enough to go towards a holiday next year :-D
£21 and counting :-D

It is only a max of 100 points per recycled cartridge - some cartridges are only 50 points. Be careful about the holiday "deals" - other posters have mentioned that these are at the full inflated price and it can be cheaper to book elsewhere.

I was thinking more along the lines of airmiles,or maybe one of the buy in full £100 for 7nights in certain apartments.
Hmm so the ink cartridges may not be worth it unless you buy ink anyway then.
Don't suppose we'll ever get deals like the 1000 points for £10 mobile phones again :-/
I got loads of those then got the double airmiles deal,those were the days:-D
