Tesco wombling

I have a Tesco Clubcard which I use lots for petrol and food etc... I tend to pay by visa but sometimes cash and it's registered to my address in my name. For example Mr J Bloggs of 1 London Road, Essex

I also have a paper card hic is unregistered.
I only use cash for this card and the odd large wombled ticket (receipts found with plus 100 points)


Here's the query
I have my eye on something from Goldsmiths and aware that in most stores require all the vouchers in one name....

Would it be under handed if I registered the paper card in my name to a friends address.
I'm asumming the vouchers only have your name on them and not address therefore they would all Show "Mr J Bloggs" and I could use them together!


Please, please help me :D (great song)

    You can add them to the main card but then all the cash purchases and other things would be registered to them.
    If you find you are drinking too much give this number a call. 0845 769 7555

    Thanks Quint, I did consider just adding them to my own card but as they are gotten from mainly findings I didn't want to risk my own card be "banned" for wombling.

    They would have to be able to prove you were wombling for you to be in trouble. I'd add it to my own card personally.

    Totally understand - you must be 'well minted' with all those Tesco points :D

    Wouldnt go that far! Just with tesco credit card, groceries, pet insurance etc we average 16,000 points a year.

    hopefully i'll have 30,000-35,000 to exchange at the 2year cut off
    So that's £900-£1050 gold smith vouchers...
    not bad for free and a little patience!

    Do you get points with Tesco pet insurance? I've just taken out tesco pet insurance for my two puppies - I don't remember seeing any offers for points though.

    This might not be the right place to ask, but I can't find the info elsewhere. I just started wombling for price check and cc points. Haven't found any big ones yet, but I have been adding the points to my own cc. Is this ok? The OP saying that he has two cards has got me a bit worried now.

    TIA.

    Be very careful Tesco send out letters to adverse point collecting for example regularly collecting point at customer services

    just be warned they can take you cc away
