Can any one tell me what AOL points are please?? They are on the list but i havent got a clue what they are. I am currently on AOL so any extrat benefits from them would be a bonus!!

From the AOL card site:

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The AOL Credit Card offers a reward scheme** that allows you to earn Reward Points as you spend - these points can be redeemed against your monthly AOL subscription fee. [/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]When you first use your card or make a balance transfer, your account will be credited with 2,500 points, which can be redeemed for one month's subscription fee on the AOL Anytime flat rate price plan. Members on the AOL Broadband Gold price plan require 4,000 points for one month’s subscription fee to be waived. For points redemption details on all other subscription plans see Keyword: AOL Credit Card on AOL for more details.[/font]

Hi
I'm trying to use the Tesco deals as much as possible, and used them for magazine subscriptions - BBC wildlife and Good Housekeeping for Christmas pressies. I now want to get RAC membership, though, and don't have enough vouchers - what's the best way to get extra points fast?
I do most of my shopping at Tesco, but don't have a credit card with them - would that increase the no I collect?
What sort of stuff comes with extra points?!

Help!!!

shona,

You could apply for a Clubcard Plus account. It's a type of savings/budget account that gets topped up every month from your bank account via DD. Then you use it in Tesco as a debit card to pay for your shopping. You get double points every time. Tesco don't advertise it anywhere. You have to phone them. Call 08457 10 40 10 and ask for an application form.

If you happen to "lose" your card, pick up a new one from the store, buy some essentials (preferably the ones that give you extra points-noted on the sheves) and use the new card. When the receipt is printed, you'll get a voucher to get 100 points next time you spend in the shop. When you get home, ring the freefone number on the back of the card, explain the loss of your original card, and they will transfer everything on to the new card number. Just remember to cut up the OLD card then!!!

I know its not much, but it all helps. My other half has a shared company van and company credit card. He always fills the van in Tesco, pays with the works credit card, and gets the points on our Clubcard!!

Top up your mobiles in Tesco...

im not sure if this has been posted befor but here it is anyway.
after being ambushed in my local tesco yesterday by one of their reps trying to get me to sign up for their phone call package, i mentioned i used 18866 for my calls and he confirmed everyone was talking about it back home up north, anyway to the point. After recommending he register with Martins site he told me that he couldnt understand why tesco kept it a secret that if you convert their loyalty points to air miles there worth more seeing how they promote everything else?
hope my first post isnt a flop.

Does anyone know any way of turning Boots points into cash :-)

Does anyone know of any offers at Tesco to earn extra clubcard points? Last year they had lots of offers on everyday foods and products, but this year they are very few and far between. The only one I have spotted yesterday was 50 extra points of Green/Blacks ice cream.
Thanks

have you joined all of their clubs? i noticed on the website recently there's a food club, a healthy living club etc. i already joined the wine club, baby club and kids club. join them all, make up a baby and a child if you don't have one - my rabbit is in the kids club now that my son is too old and they wrote to tell me they weren't sending me any more packs :-) for each club you get sent vouchers for things such as 50 extra points when you spend £2 on frozen food, or on the value range, etc. etc. 100 points when buying a bottle of white wine, sometimes just 50 points for no reason, they just give you a coupon to scan at the till.
