    Its our 'Double Points' promotion
    Checked today and it would seem that this is indeed an error - Most stores are issuing double points but it would seem this will be resolved within the next 24-48 hours. Hope that helps;)

    Just wondering why you originally said it was a promotion TescoEmployee??
  • well, if a person is sitting on a till all day seeing every customer getting double points, they'd propbably assume it was a promotion, and only get told it was a glitch if they asked or were told about it.

    I was wondering that too Addy. He should have been 100% sure about the info re the promotion before posting it. Perhaps this was a trick to make us spend more money at Tesco (sadly, it worked on me :()? If this were the reason, then I'd be very disappointed.

    Lol! I hope that's a joke! Is TescoEmployee on some sort of commission?? Cause I can't think of any other reason a shop worker would want to 'trick' people into spending money in a store.

    As I hope it's clear from the tone of my previous post, I don't know who TescoEmployee is, and what he wanted to do exactly. I thanked him for the info when it was posted, but I think he should have double-checked it. The twist in his statements leaves room to speculations (such as mine).

    Untill i investigated why i had as much idea as you lot - We have done double points promotions before and i just assumed that this is what it was

    I posted during the SAME day that i would investigated it - I then came back on line the SAME DAY telling you all that it was indeed a HO error, When i spoke to CC originally they were also unsure if it was a promotion or error
