  • I converted my tesco clubcard to a clubcard+ & transfer money onto that each month so when I use it I get double points.

    I have a pre pay card through Cash Plus. Using it on my road to debt freeness, no more credit for me! Have only had it a short time but used it this week to pay for a holiday with thomas cook and my travel insurance with another comapny. From what I know it really is the same as any other Mastercard and can be used in the same way, only you have to put the money on there first.

    ps. If you go ahead with getting one read through the small print. Ours had a monthly fee of £4.95 automatically put on but if you read through you can opt to pay £1 per transaction instead and as we are quite used to not having a credit card now we don't intend to use it very often so this worked out much cheaper for us. This has to be done once your card is activated with just a quick phone call and definitely saves us money
    hey there's no money but we couldn't be happier if we tried
    £2 coin pot - £92!

    I did it from a link from an email they sent me ages ago but I can't find any mention of clubcard plus on their website. I've seen the forms by the checkouts though.
  • Ooh I'll look next time I'm in there. Some friends of mine used their clubcard points for money of a holiday and ended up getting £700 off!!! mind you they used the credit card:naughty:
