Tesco Clubcard Credit Card

Does anyone have an opinion about the reduced points for non- tesco use 1 point for £8 ( min spend £8) ?

It seems churlish and an alt cash back credit beckons !

    I've always considered it a(nother Tesco) con anyway. They used to advertise "Earn five Clubcard points for every £4 you spend on it in Tesco", but you only got one point, as the other four were points you got from the Clubcard anyway.

    I just carried on using my cashback card, which gives money that can be spent anywhere, not just on overpriced Tesco stuff.

    I'll only be using mine for my Tesco spending when the points reduce in November. I won't be closing my account though, as I get 650 free points each year, a historic gesture they introduced when switching over from visa (I think).

    In the past month or so I have gone from having 3 credit cards to 7 just to try and ensure I get the best of everything (what with so many card Providers tightening up their rewards). Am intrigued to see what Noddle make of this when things get updated next month! I know their rating is meaningless in many ways, but I'm still interested none-the-less!

    The points were always an added extra rather than a necessity but annoying nonetheless.

    Will look at alternatives but these types of benefit will be dropping all round with the constraints on CC charges.
    loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.
