Tesco Gift Cards

Does anyone know if you can add money to Tesco Gift Cards? I got one through Sun Perks and have another two to come. I'd like to add money to them and build them up to put towards something bigger.

Didn't see anything on their site, only cards which can have anything from £1 to £100 on them. One advantage is being able to use them online, though check if it is possible to enter multiple card details online buy an item.

Most store gift cards have limits, so the only difference (inconvenience) there is having to get lots and keep them safe, or always carry enough of them for anything you may want to get.

Some of these cards also have an inactivity clause whereby the balance is wiped if you do not use it often enough.

When you use a Tesco gift card you've only got 2 options, to check the balance or to use it against your shopping so I think the only time you can put money on it is when you're buying it.

Wish i'd have read this thread earlier, would've saved me some effort in dealing with a grumpy tesco worker this morning. Was thinking if they scanned the giftcard envelope followed by the existing card then it might work but they wouldn't even try.

Oh well, anyone know what to do with a stockpile of old useless tesco giftcards?

What you do is use gift cards to buy giftcards! I used to buy them here and there as saving for a cooker! Then I would go in with say 3 £5 ones and buy a £20 one using the £15 in giftcards and adding a £5 in cash! Built a few up to 80-100 this way!
