    I didn't get triple points for my full tank last night, diesel though but I doubt its different
  • I filled my tank with unleaded tonight at 7oclock (£50) and got only the standard 50 points. :confused:
    I did use a 5p off per litre voucher, but I doubt that'd make any difference. Also I reckon our Tesco don't participate as readily as other Tesco stores across the country as they have a complete monopoly being the only major supermarket in the city, (it's not called Tesco town for nothing!!) they know people have little option but to go there.:o

    Moan over for tonight :p

  • 2 Tesco's near me, both selling fuel at a full 2p/ltr more than the local Sainburys and Asda!

    Hearing is not quite the same as seeing, did you actually get the points?

    Perhaps it is only in areas that suffered huge loss of sales due to the contamination problems earlier this year.

    Don't Tesco have some sort of price promise on their petrol for other places within a certain radius, might be worth checking into.
  • Tesco in Oldham, I can confirm is 2p per litre more than a local Shell petrol station. Therefore you can no longer assume supermarkets are cheaper than anywhere else. A warning to all.

    I think that has bitten the dust like the misprice policy. My local is often a penny dearer than Morrisons, Sainsbury or Asda. Possibly to recover the price of the point they give you to,:rolleyes2 .

    The only reason I have been shopping at their generally overpriced (apart from special offers) supermarket is cos they have just sent me 3 coupons for £10 off a £30 shop, which I find rather difficult to refuse. especially as Abbey are giving me £1 too for using their card as well as 30 tesco points. :wink:

    I wonder if this is also a wake up call to the Great British public that the number of independent petrol retailers closing down and selling off their sites for other purposes, ie car washes, because they cannot afford to compete with the supermarkets. What happens when the competion is no longer there? The fuel prices at supermarkets all go up, which was all in the 'big plan' right from the offset.
