Tesco Mobile Phone Recycling

adrianfaulkner

I've just found some envelopes on an Ebay here for recycling mobile phones at Tesco in exchange for clubcard points. I noticed instore the other day that the envelopes say 300 points for a working mobile. However the auction i'm looking at has envelopes for 500 points.

Do you think these are still ok to send off?

Oh never seen these ones.

Mobile Phones
For a phone that turns on, you will receive 300 Green Clubcard Points or you can choose for Tesco to donate £3 to the British Red Cross.
For a phone that does not turn on, you will receive 50 Green Clubcard Points or you can choose for Tesco to donate 50p to the British Red Cross.
Please note: there is a 5 phone per customer limit, per year.
All you need to do is:

You can find mobile phone recycling envelopes in store on the Clubcard stand or on the Tesco Mobile display (if available)
You can post your phone using any envelope, to our Freepost address so you won't even need a stamp.
The Freepost address is:

Please:

1. 1. Write your surname, postcode, Clubcard number (if you want to receive your Green Clubcard Points) on a slip of paper and put it into any envelope along with your unwanted phone(s).
2. 2. Remove your SIM card, as any SIM cards received by Greener Solutions will be destroyed.
3. 3. Place your old mobile handset in the envelope.
4. 4. Seal the envelope and pop it in the post.If you prefer to donate to our charity of the year, the British Red Cross, or do not have a Clubcard, simply write on the slip 'donate to charity'. For a phone that turns on, you will receive 300 Green Clubcard Points or you can choose to donate £3 to the British Red Cross. If the phone does not turn on, you will receive 50 Green Clubcard Points or you can choose to donate 50p to the British Red Cross.

I sent one of these 500 points envelopes of about six weeks ago and was credit with the points, no problems.

The points show up as green points at the bottom of till receipts.

I had my 2 phones credited after I kicked up but in the last 6 months I have sent in 7 ink cartridges and not recieved a point for them! When you chase it they don't seem to want to know.

Going to give them to another charity in future (Guide dogs I think request them)_

:eek: £1.25 for an envelope you can collect for FREE from Tesco :eek:
wonder if mrT knows that they are being sold on ebay

madmoys - no the 500 clubcard envelopes aren't in store anymore, they were only in store at the start of the whole green clubcard points thing.
Nowadays you only get 300 points.
So if you do get credited with the full 500 points, thats worth an extra £8 in deals, well worth £1.25 if you're that kind of person!
(I think I've got a 500pt one in the cupboard somewhere, must dig it out...!)

I've had some luck chasing up missing clubcard points with the contact link on the clubcard webpage when I'm logged in, they have always got back to me very quickly. Maybe try that for those who are missing points.
