    Thanks for that tip,nykmedia:beer:

    Actually, I already do something similar, tho' not for extra points as we don't have a Co-op nearby. Have used it in Boots for points though. I'm an Asda girl and have made a fortune in Tesco points this past year whilst doing my big supermarket shops in Asda:rotfl: . I used the card everywhere and for everything I could(making sure to pay off the full balance each month or the interest would defeat the object!). Just a shame Lidl don't accept it or I could make a packet there too. Never actually set foot in Tesco these days but had £36 in Tesco points in the last mailing:j :j :j which will be vey useful when converted to Deals and sold on eBay!

    Selling them on ebay?? What the £36 in tesco points? Is it not better just spending them instore? Do you not loose money selling them on ebay?

    Apparetly not Mumzy, (Good morning and how are you btw?) I was told of this and its true, cause they can be worth up to 4 x the value you sell them on ebay. I sold £20 worth for £31...... its amazing, i was floored!

    I am a Tesco clubcard points addict, rarely shop in store now only when there are no good points codes to use.

    Keep debating whether to get a Tesco CC and spend everything on it and just pay that off each month but don't really want another credit card...or get a Tesco Clubcard plus as its double points but you have to pay a direct debit into it each month and with my loan right now i can't afford it.

    Yes, this is true, theunknownstuntman and mumzy.:j :j :j

    'Deals' are worth 4 x the face value of the points just used for money off your shop at Mr T's. Just pick up a 'Deals' leaflet next time you're in-store(or look on-line) for what's available. Martin has covered this topic on the site somewhere and it's worth tracking down

    Mumzy. Before you actually do it, have a look around the various threads on MSE or ask someone as it's often better to convert to deals before listing on eBay whereas some people sell the 'deals points' and the buyer selects what deal they want and the seller converts them before sending. Sounds a bit complicated but it isn't really! Deals for holidays etc are non-transferrable by the way and come with your name on so can't be sold on.

    Although Deals are worth 4 x the face value of ordinary points (e.g. £10 points are worth £40 in 'deals' )you might not get the whole £40 for them if sold on eBay but you'd get a heck of a lot more value than if you just used them off your regular shopping.

    'Every Little Helps' as they say:rotfl:

    Take care of yourself mumzy
