By the way, congratulations, Digitalphase!:T

Thanks a lot

Got to agree with kheemonahs about points not being so good, except only £300 max can be used per person on Cosmos holidays now not £400!! I have been trying to get a holiday or cruise with my stash of points but it is just as cheap not to use points and go for the discounts you can get online!
I have started using Halifax reward cc for first £300 spend each month to get the £5.00 reward and then using Tescos CC for anything over that.

Thanks for that bit of news.

I could not believe the £300 limit, I had to check it, and yes you are right.

I agree with you about the discounts online being cheaper and have booked the same holiday, hotel with the same flights (same flight number) same dates to Fuerteventura with Travel Republic for £220 cheaper than cosmos.

I only use Deals for the holidays. The points are almost worthless to me now!

This revelation is just another nail in the Deals coffin! :mad:

That is so very true. The Tesco holidays (and many of the other deals) are now so artificially overpriced that even with the 3x Clubcard Deals it's cheaper to buy them without using the Tesco scheme at all.

If you're buying from Tesco anyway, you might as well have the points, but there are far better, cheaper and nicer places to shop.

That depends on where you live, not around here there isn't

You're unlucky. We have a Waitrose and a Lidl within easy reach - the perfect combination for Tesco-avoiders!

I don't get the detailed breakdown on my account on the website, I've been told its because we have old Tesco Finest CC.

The 'older' cards only have the credit card no, whereas the 'newer' ones have a clubcard no as well on the card - lower down by the card holder's name. So it's quite possible that 'myclubcard account' won't accept the old credit card no.
NB if you do have a later card with the CC no on the bottom, enter that no e.g. 63400490

, if you still have problems - try 0063400490

.
Is it linked to another ordinary clubcard? If so going via that, you should be able to get both sets of info.
NB you can only have one clubcard no attached to one email address.

:huh:
We've got the newer cards with the cc number on and also an ordinary clubcard, both linked to the same account which is what I get details of when I log onto 'my account'
