Daily Mail Rewards Club Thread

3010

Just had a look at the increases in reward prices. So to get a £10 m & s voucher now you will need to collect for another 4 weeks m-f.

Oh I'm so glad that I decided to redeem a lot of my points on Friday night. Didn't know what to go for as I had always used them for the Pizza Express 2-course meals but they've removed that offer now. Decided just to get a £25 M&S voucher and hopefully can use it at Christmas for some nice food treats as I only buy occasional food at M&S. It cost 6800 points and it's now increased to 9500, a whopping 2700 increase!!!! My 6800 has actually cost me a great deal more than the £25 I get in return as I had to buy a lot of Sunday papers to reach that (we normally only buy Monday to Saturday). They changed the goalposts twice during my collection which was a bit of a pain, then I couldn't stop once I had started as I would have wasted too much. Hopefully the new system will get us all something for nothing if you normally buy the Daily Mail anyway. As long as they don't keep increasing the number of points required during the year again!!

Best double check that it doesn't last 90 days like gift cards for Tesco or if it does, then you get everything on the last weekend of November and freeze it.

I feel lucky in that every weekday code I've had since the change, they've worked, but I would stop at 10 extra papers for the hundred points spread across the four weeks and not day in day out, as it seems to be these regular collectors having all the hassle.

Just double checked on Daily Mail Rewards ShopThe Tesco gift cards issued by the Mail Rewards Club are valid for 12 months from date of dispatch

If they've extended them then great, I always try to spend them up with Mr T's own vouchers so I don't have to think about when I ordered or received one. That way they're only ever around for 3/4 months.

Thanks for that, JamesK10 as I never thought about expiry date so I will definitely check when I receive it. Wasn't sure what you meant about the 10 'extra papers' for the hundred points over four weeks though. We do buy Mon-Sat anyway but if you only normally buy the Saturday paper, then Mon-Fri gives you 50 points each week which would be 200 over 4 weeks but they also add on 50 bonus if you do input Mon-Fri numbers so that would give you 400 extra in total. Maybe I've picked you up wrong though. Hopefully the new system will work okay once everyone gets used to it.

Thanks Pemberton01 - I've just gone into the Mail Rewards site to check and Tesco, as you say, give you the expiry date of 12 months but M&S doesn't unfortunately. I'll try to remember to post a message once I receive my voucher to let everyone know the expiry time.

You're welcome ailey and no you were right. Thanks for clarifying the bonus points, I didn't know whether the 50 bonus points were awarded on top of buying and entering codes Monday to Friday. Since it is, no wonder so many codes are getting torn off the back of the papers en masse.

In buying the odd extra weekday paper only, I've gone without the bonus and will return to the old schemes. Nectar's never changed except adding internet stores and partners giving points while Clubcard only varied the points multipliers, in 10+ years of operation. A change every six months on average is ridiculous from the DM and I have to vote with my wallet now (how I've changed my tune!).

Without wishing to step on your toes I have received a recent order for M & S and you receive an actual voucher from M & S (no mention of DM) and there is no expiry date on it.

Never ordered Tesco so not sure what you get.

I buy the DM every day including Sunday and have done for years so I see the Reward Club as my loyalty bonus and something for nothing.
