    Waited for months to be invited again.

    Got 570 points but somewhat hamstrung as my partner has a separate clubcard with + so we do two shops a month on that.

    Question how can I ensure invites in future? Think it has been mentioned to bookmark? If I just keep tab open on my phone will that work?

    As an aside following this thread has made me actually look at my Tesco CC, mainly just used as a credit card. I had never received a coupon in over 10 years of having it, complained and now get 5 a fortnight. Have made significant savings with the % off ones but have to laugh at the why would I buy that ones.

    I find that keeping an email from Tesco with the title 'Check out your Clubcard Challenges progress' in my inbox will have a link that will take me to the current challenge, whether I've been invited or not.

    Well that's me done this time around. 2380 in the end after forgetting pasta was only Tesco own label which means I bought Napolina for no reason!

    Added to my other clubcard points and 2900 points in total and another £58 off our holiday. That's a total of £452 off.

    Fingers crossed for another round or two before we go.

    I'm at only 340. I might be able to get another 330 if I can spend £8 on veg this week. We too are saving ours for a holiday.

  • How does this work? Can you pay off installments with Clubcard vouchers or do you need to use them all in one go at point of booking?

    It's clubcard partner vouchers. I use easyJet holidays and yes you pay in installments.

    (I loathe easyJet after a dreadful experience with them changing a holiday - but they are cheap, the holidays themselves are ok and this saves me a lot of money).

  • Thanks for the reply. Handy that you can pay off in installments.

    I don't mind Easyjet but will never use the other budget airline that sounds like Iron Hair.

    I used clubcard vouchers to help pay for a trip to Krakow earlier this year too. I can't remember exactly but from memory it must have saved me over £400 for that one too.

    370 points earned today so 630 in total. One challenge completed and one step completed in a second. Not a good one.

    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.

    Got 1250 points.

    Joined clubcard plus, not sure why not done it before given our average weekly spend.

    But the 10% off cost me 290 points in what I had calculated, just missing 3 targets.

    Perhaps letting the tail wag the dog e.g. we now have at least 6 months supply of Dettol antibac surface cleaner. Must watch this, if invited again, not least because we don't double up, just use on shopping.

    Everyone get their Christmas saver in?
