Tesco Bank joins the bankers' rewards fray

Hot on the heals of Natwest and Halifax, email from Tesco today:

Dear saver-who-only-deposits-a-couple-of-pounds-a-month-via-DDs,

At Tesco Bank, we want to help you get more for your money, so we've launched Tesco Bank perks – our way of saying thank you for being a customer.

Each month we'll send you an exclusive selection of great offers from across Tesco. All you need to do is simply take your pick and enjoy!

Check out this month's offers below.

Best wishes,

The Tesco Bank Team

Current deals are:

• 1,000 clubcard points if you spend more than £100 on wine by 10 Sept 2013
• half price 6 month 'anytime' delivery saver plan (upfront payment) for only £30
• 12 months free broadband if you sign up to Tesco Homephone for £14.90/mth
• 100 clubcard points if you rent or buy the latest blockbuster movie by 13 Sept 2013

Huge long list of T&Cs for these offers, too, of course.

I was already bored stiff by the Natwest and Halifax offers. I think it's time now for an extended hibernation period.

£100 on wine in two weeks?

Do they expect all their customers to be raging alcoholics with money to p*ss away on plonk?

Anyone who feels the need to buy that much wine in a short period would probably be more gratified if they got 1000 Clubcard points for a similar quantity of Tennent's Super.

My dad does that about twice a year. Normally goes into Sainsbury's when they have 25% off if you buy six bottles and gets a selection of 15 or so. Keeps him going for a few months!

Just because you buy it within a timeframe doesnt mean you consume it within the same timeframe.

Well no, not at all. 2 bottles of Bollinger Grand Annee at Tesco currrently will take you over that. I happen to prefer prefer Laurent Perrier Ultra Brut, but would definitely not prefer tennent's.

And edited to add, in line with other comments above, I bought my wine in bulk last time I bought from Tesco, and did not feel compelled to drink it all at once.
