Right I've joined! Sorry to be a bit thick but whats PTS? I'm fairly new to all this!

PTS is www.paidtoshop.co.uk

Its a super site that have 1000s of member who chat about Tesco, offer free coupons, swap MOC etc.

Similar idea to MSE

i regularly ignore any additional points code i get for tesco in favour of their discount codes ie; 20 additional points if you buy bread or £5 off next shop. but am i doing wrong? am i right in thinking 20 points equals £20 of points or have i got it all wrong? it would certainly explain why i only ever receive £6 or £7 worth of clubcard points

I was like you once upon a time

The way I look @ this is -

I use the codes for extra points which then allows me to use my Clubcard vouchers for deals which is worth 4 times the orginal amount.

So 1000 points is worth £10.00 in store or £40 in deals

So if you have £5.00 off £50.00 spend vrs extra 1000 points on £50 spend would work out like this.

£50 of shopping minus £5 discount = £45 which gives you 45points which equates too 45p if used in store or £1.35 in deals

if you use the extra 1000 points - you need to pay £50 which then gives you 1050 points which means £10.50 in store of £40 ind deals.

So work it out your better of using the extra points

even if you use the points instore you will get £10.50 instead of the £5.00

I hope that makes a little sense to you

I wanted to share this with you all.
Have recently been looking into a Butlins holiday with my points to Bognor I rang and they have told me that by paying with clubcard points you have to purchase a full priced holiday from their catologue. On their website you can usually save £100 -£150 per holiday so I have decided not to collect for butlins with clubvouchers as it is cheaper just to book on their website.

Thats always the case with Tesco Deals you pay the full price

Not, I think, with P&O Cruises. There you pay whatever current discounted price is on the website. This makes them one of the best value deals around.

Hello - I am sure this has been asked before but I can't find it. I have 4 accounts on similar names and do online grocery and wine club shopping, and am members of all the clubs. We got our 4 wine club mailings today and most of the vouchers are for in-store - I am not used to actually having to go to a shop! So I wondered 2 things
1) If, for example, I now have 4 vouchers to get 50 points on a particular bottle of wine, would I have to buy 4 bottles of wine to be able to use all 4 vouchers in one go?
2) And if you hand over a big collection of vouchers with 4 of each kind, in similar names, would the checkout person think that was odd and question it? I tend to try to keep a low profile and don't even phone them if my order is wrong in case they realise I have 4 accounts. Should we just go do shopping 4 times instead?

Thank you!
Ali

Hello there

Fingers crossed this is the correct place to post, if not my apologies.

I got a coupon with my last points mailing that offers 500 points on Annual Travel Insurance purchased in store.

I was buying a 1 week insurance today reduced from £16 to £13 and thought I would try it.

Big smiles, an extra 500 points on my till receipt.

So free holiday thanks to MR T and now free insurance too !

Hope this helps someone.

You would need to buy the bottle x 4 to use 4 vouchers

I use SS and my key fob and never have any problems using as many vouchers as I like
