Tesco Current Account Switching Incentive

Candyapple

Has anyone received any switching incentives for opening a Tesco current account recently? Yesterday I received an email offering 2,500 Clubcard points for switching to them.

I have x2 savings accounts and x2 credit cards with Tesco, but no current account (yet).

I just wanted to see if anyone else has received anything / whether it's worth holding out for a better offer (I'm sure there have been reports of them offering 10,000 points before)?

Thanks

I got the same offer as you yesterday

I've heard of people receiving 5000 points and 10,000 points over the past couple of years.

Are these personalised offers for certain customers? I need to open these soon (already got savings accounts with them) so I must update my marketing preferences!

Makes the 2,500 offering seem paltry. Thanks for replying, I might just wait, no rush to open a Tesco current account yet.

No idea, but if me, my partner and BoraBora123 have all received the same offer on the same day, it would suggest that it's a marketing mailshot for customers of theirs who hold savings+credit cards with them - but no bank account.

How much does 2500 club cards points = £s?

1p per point so 2500=£25

If it's simply to open the account then it's actually not too bad.
All offers elsewhere require an account switch.

I waited a good while for an offer a couple of years ago (having seen others report 5,000 and 10,000 points incentives), with a couple of savings accounts and a credit card, yet one never came.

So I'd take the 2,500 points now personally, if I had a sacrificial account ready. A bird in the hand and all that!

This one does too, according to the OP...

"Yesterday I received an email offering 2,500 Clubcard points for switching to them."

I guess if you boosted the 2,500 points with one of their partners it could be worth up to £100?
