Tesco Savings Loophole Discussion

CCCele

When you fill in the form, you are not required to put a telephone number. So you don't have to put a false number. Just don't put one if you don't want to.

I took a Tesco account out last year when they had the same offer, bagged the points and closed the account. Do you think they will mind/stop me if I do exactly the same again?

I also opened a Tesco savings account, bagged the points and then closed it. I suppose there is no harm in trying again.

I have a tesco clubcard Plus and also a savings account so can't see why this should be a problem. Not sure you'll get the usual double points in this case tho!:rotfl: :rotfl:

ANNIEHAHA

Just rung tesco and asked if I could open five accounts for me husband and kids but was told I was only allowed four.
Also checked if I would get 1000 points on all accounts and he said yes:T
Four applications in the post for me in the next couple of days
Hope this helps clear up any confusion

Keep your eye on your points ANNIEHAHA, the Tesco website says -

"¹The 1,000 Clubcard Points promotion is restricted to one account per household "

The Tesco website states a minimum opening balance of £1 is required. However, I chose the option to transfer funds electronically, and will therefore not be sending in a cheque for £1 or a similar amount. I wonder if this means I'll need to deposit £1 electronically to activate the account first in good time before I transfer the £1000?

Please all be aware that according to the T&C's, you will be credit checked when opening this account, and a record will be made.

Just thought I'd let you all know, in case you're cleaning up your file

not sure this is exactly a loophole, but not a bad deal all the same
