MSE News: Tesco to launch Clubcard 'flash sale' – should you hold on to your points?

REEN

Careful, I tried to use my giftcard, got right through without seeing where to enter the card number so ended up paying full price! I checked through the process again, still couldn't see anywhere to use it before the page that takes your money. :mad: I will order over the phone next time!

On my latest Clubcard voucher mailing it shows how many of each Boost Flash Sale items will be available, but no details of price.

my wonderful daughter managed to get me 3 codes for ticket master while I was at work (thank you school holidays!!) fab deal, have already spent 1 and a bit vouchers on 2 tickets to see Paul Heaton & Jackie Abbott so well chuffed. I rarely shop at Tesco as have loads of other shops to drive past to get there, however Everything we spend over about £5 goes on our Tesco credit card. Over the years we have had a week at butlins in school summer hols and 5 days in a flat near disneylandparis at easter (they were both before they were devalued and you always got 4 x value), bought an ipad, had speedboat trip on the Thames and lots of days at theme parks so very pleased!!

Fojo I also got some great deals with Tesco clubcard before devalued. We got a 10 day break for 4 with virgin to Orlando staying at Disney Animal Kingdom. I did have to put £400 towards the holiday because I didnt have quite enough vouchers but wow what a fab holiday just for shopping and £400. That said I dont really shop at Tescos anymore as I didnt like there price changes, instant 50p increase on items (not on offers/deal) within a week and variable prices for same item at different local Tesco stores. I felt we were being taken for a ride.

Easy, you can't use a 'giftcard' only CC Vouchers! It will know the vouchers linked to that on-line account for you to select, or you can manually put in the vouchers codes - if for example two CC accounts have been 'merged' whereby you won't see both sets of vouchers on line.


Giftcards, can be bought with cash, vouchers are derived from points earned from continuous spending.

I noticed that the current "full price" (£17) iTunes vouchers reduced from 39 available to 29 available in the last half hour - do people really not realise they were going to be on offer soon?! ((((EDIT (12:15pm): it's now gone down to 24 even though a note has now been added to say you can get them in the flash sale!))))

MSE info completely wrong! Not reduced to £10 and not a max of 3 codes each!

"You get a £25 iTunes voucher code (valid for six months) in exchange for £10-worth of Clubcard points (normally it's £17). There will be 15,000 codes available, and we expect they'll go fast - there's a max of three codes per customer."

EDIT: ^^^^^^ MSE have corrected this now (I wonder why it was wrong? Bad guess or wrong info supplied to them?)
