    I've had a few where the maximum points is high, but I've never had such a high target. I don't buy stuff I wouldn't normally use, but to spend £103 on food to go for £36 worth of points (£72 of holiday vouchers) sounds attractive but in reality it's about break even for me as I make my own packed lunches for the days I work and over the course of 6 weeks they probably work out at about £30.

    Points added to account.

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    Can you search your emails for 'clubcard challenge progress'. Links on old progress emails take me directly to the latest challenge which I wouldn't otherwise be able to see currently in the app.

    I've got Cathedral City again. There's more cheese in our fridge from the last challenge than in their warehouse.

    We've booked an easyJet holiday in my name which tallies with the email account for Tesco, so that's where we will be directing our vouchers next year.

    Good shout. Though I confess I had awful problems with them once. But if you are determined they generally will play ball!

    Anyway started this round of challenges this morning. 8 on the go already. I usually shop on a Sunday but delayed it to ensure the products would count.

    I do hope you are also using the Everup app to buy your Tesco groceries with giftcards. Will generally give you around 3.8-4.2% cashback. Can't be used with online orders though.

    I would do but I'm currently stoozing and gift cards are sometimes reported as cash advances which destroys the 0% link on purchases.

    I get 2% back in any event via Chase.

    Ordinarily I would use something like that. My stoozing ends in December as with almost £50,000 stoozed and my income reduced due to retiring, my offers have totally dried up

    Thanks - I'm stoozing with my Chase card - this ends in December so I'll look to start doing something similar then - there's too much to lose if it doesn't work!

  • I’ve clicked on the link in an old email and it says I haven’t been selected.

    I’ve complained but they just say “it’s randomised so it’s fair” !!
