Tesco Clubcard Creditcard Loophole

Options
- Tesco petrol spend £2 = 1point
- Pay with Tesco clubcard credit card £1 = 1 point

HOWEVER
- Pay with other card/cash and use your Clubcard Credit card only to put points on means £1 = 1 point!

Basically double your points without using your Clubcard creditcard to pay (if you have one of course)

    It would not work like that. Only get the full amount of points if the credit card itself is used to pay.

    I know as I worked in the call centre for them.

    I've done it twice and have the receipts to prove it works:)

    The proof will be in the pudding, hopefully someone else will try it out and give some feedback:))))

    buddy if I knew how to attach a scanned copy I wouldn't. Not here to prove anything, let people try it, it works (for now anyway), sounds like you still work for Tesco PLC! lol

    I can also confirm that this works as of last week. You don't need to pay with the Tesco Clubcard CC - just use it for points. You can use another card to make the payment.

    I don't work for Tesco or TPF or Tesco Bank now, however I know loads of people that do from when I did.

    In terms of Clubcard points using your Clubcard Credit Card ((CCC)518652) is the following:
    Standard CCC Points of 1 point for every £4.
    Bonus Points for Clubcard at Tesco fuel: 1 point for every £1.

    As an example, if you spent £100 at Tesco fuel and paid with the CCC you would get 125 points. If you just used the Clubcard on the Credit Card and did NOT pay using it, you would get 100 points.

    If you have any of the other Tesco Credit Cards like 552188 then the points are slightly higher.

    I think we are getting confused, its:

    £100 fuel paid for using Tesco CC, but not using the CC for the payment: 100 points
    £100 fuel paid for using Tesco CC and using the CC for the payment: 125 points
    £100 fuel paid for using cash and Tesco clubcard: 50 points.

    and of the course the best combination:
    £100 paid for using cashback CC and Tesco CC as clubcard: 100 tesco points, plus upto 5% back in cashback.

    I don't think Tesco Bank and Tesco Clubcard are connected, so its just the club card number which determines how many points you get.

    They are connected together. Most of them needs to be done manually as in call Clubcard to get it done.
