There was discussion on this thread that buying gift cards online may see the transaction categorised as "Financial services" which was excluded in the Terms of the offer.
When you buy gift cards from Tesco online it links to tescogiftcards.com which is a gift card marketplace "powered by Blackhawk Network" hence why Lloyd's are seeing that on the transaction. The important bit is how Lloyd's classify the transaction, in the app when you click the transaction it lists "Business type"
If you buy them Instore from a till then Lloyd's just see it as a regular Tesco groceries transaction.
