Tesco Clubcard points - unexpected balance?

fivegoldstars

Does anybody know if Tesco Mums Choice gives you a random amount of points on your birthday? My balance on a recent till receipt is massively inflated - when I checked my statement there is a very large 'purchase' showing as Mums Choice. Don't know whether its a mistake/gift/competition win, but don't want to query it...

Looking at the Tesco Mums Choice website it seems you receive 50 clubcard points for each survey you complete however they can take up to 3 months to appear on your statement so it is possible you have earned a lot over the last few months but they have only just got around to applying them to your account.

I'm pretty sure its not that. We're talking thousands.

Well I suggest you go spend them !

Unfortunately, I can't until they arrive as vouchers.
Thing is, I'm trying to work out why it shows as a purchase with a high monetary value - what if I'm thinking I've got thousands of clubcard vouchers, but there's actually a high value prize going unclaimed?

Hi Fivegoldstars......I have had the same thing happen to me.
Completely unexplained & i don't really want to query it. I checked my clubcard statement. Mine shows 2 transactions (both dated 22/11/2012) from Tesco Mum's Choice both for Thousands of pounds & points. Neither of which i have spent or earned.
My Mum's Choice account shows that i have only completed 7 surveys. So definately not from that.
I'm very puzzled....still expecting them to disappear at some point...... It would be very nice if they didn't though. .... It was also my birthday last month. Although, i didn't have any nice surprises from them last year on my birthday. So, i don't think it's that.

Hmmm. Same day. Wonder if there was a glitch? If so, will probably get rectified before February. Blast - really thought I'd struck lucky...on my birthday, I was stuck in hospital!

mines showing the same 5 mums choice transactions on 22/11 giving me over £100 in clubcard points - nice if it's not a glitch.

Although I don't think I've ever recieved any other points from them so perhaps they've suddenly realised and done it? I've had a couple of tests (apparently 8 surveys but i didn't think it was that many)

Mine's exactly the same! Just logged onto my Clubcard account to investigate and I've got two "purchases" for mum's choice. I was hoping I'd won them in a competition or something *sigh*

Maybe you won something? If it's a nice round figure then I'd go with that. I do know for a while earlier this year they were offering "win £xxx clubcard points" when you scanned a coupon which was available in their free mag. I scanned the vouchers but didn't win, can't remember how much the voucher was for but think it was either £100 or 5000 points or something like that.

Hi jenniewb......

I would love to think it was something really nice, but i get the feeling that it's just another Tesco moment.
There has been no email, phone call or letter from them saying that i've won anything. Also the points are for a very odd amount.
It's not a round figure.That's what is so confusing...also the cash transaction that's along side the points total....doesn't match up to the points. I.e. 2 points per £ ...... 1 point per £. . It's all very strange.
