I have orderd 6 bottles of cava to come on sunday with a 1000 extra points code but getting cold feet now that it wasn't accepted on the perry, only ordered because i wanted points what do you think?

I did 3 wine orders the back end of last year and the points were not added.When I phoned up I was told that I would have to send them proof that I had received the codes! So had spent £75 but gained no points. I did however email them and they did add on 2000 but not the 3000 points and I am happy with that.

My advice would be carry on with the order but if not credited on invoice when actually delivered then consider refusing the order as it might be more hasstle than it is worth.

We placed three wine orders over Christmas and no points were on the delivery note. we rang and were told the points would be added automatically but my o/h asked how this could be when they had no record of any code for the delivery, after numerous phone calls eventually they agreed to add the 3000 points straight away My tip is keep pestering until they get fed up with you, they will add the points just to get rid of you

(the points were for perry and larger)

I took it to be £30 in deals if 10000 marriot points is 1500 clubcard points (£15- £60 in deals) then 5000 is half that??????????
:rolleyes:

doh! I think youre right! I read it as 1000 instead of 10000 marriott points = 1500 cc points. Still, it's better than nothing. :rolleyes:

I've had 2 separate deliveries of perry today, separate clubcard accounts, both using XX-THTH.

Both said the code could not be used.

I've rang up re one of them and was told they would be added on within 24 hours, I'll hopefully get the same result when I call about the other delivery in a day or two.

Although I admire your 'courage' constantly hounding Tesco about missing points, all you are doing is drawing attention to the fact that you are using codes which perhaps you aren't supposed to - unless of course the codes have legitamately been sent to you in which case I fully agree with causing them hassle.
I would suggest that you should'nt order something just because you are getting extra points, but because you actually want the items. Did you honestly want 24 bottles of perry, or have you just got them to get 2000 extra points?
The wine codes have been notoriously tricky, and have caused a lot of problems to a lot of people, so are probably best avoided until Tesco start issuing the points immediately like they do with groceries.

Heres one for the mathematicians amongst you that gives an indication of the cost to Tesco if all MSE'rs registered and not registered with the site. At any one time there are always twice as many non registered people as registered using the site. As there are about 76,000 members the there are approx. 152,000 non members. For simplicity call the total 200,000. Lets say we all do 2 £75 on line shops each month utilising 1000 points voucher each time. Then Tesco would make 2 x 75 x 200,000 x 12. This equals 360 million pounds !! Now as the 1000 points codes no longer work I wonder if we will all continue to do all these on line shops........ ??. Your thoughts please. If the maths is wrong sorry.

So if I'm reading this right 5000 introductory offer = £75 cc points = £300 deal time vouchers? If so it sounds brill! :T

You need 10,000 marriot visa reward points min to convert to tesco clubcard points, however if you convert more you sometime get a worse exchange rate?

Full info on the tesco clubcard points is

Tesco Clubcard Points
Reward Points Code
1,500 Tesco Clubcard Points 10,000
3,500 Tesco Clubcard Points 20,000
7,000 Tesco Clubcard Points 30,000
17,500 Tesco Clubcard Points 70,000
35,000 Tesco Clubcard Points 125,000

You can find the information here http://marriott.com/rewards/usepoints/moreshop.mi

Also you can convert miles earned with marriot partners to marriot reward points eg diner card rewards etc

If anyone is interested in a deal to get 15,000 marriot rewards point which 10,000 can be used to convert to 1,500 tesco clubcard. You need to find someone in the USA to apply for the marriot rewards signature card, if they make a single spend on the card they get 15,000 points. I am asking someone to do this for me :T so this maye usefull to someone else.

Ps they also get a free stay a marriot hotel

If I have helped please show your thanks

Doesnt seem like much if you think of your own shopping but makes you think when it is all added up. The mark up on food is 300% ( can remember reading that somewhere) so the shops are making a good profit, just look at their year end profits

I have only recently started shopping with tesco, have always shopped at asda as they are cheaper, also food is nicer and fresher when you get it delivered( apart from the Greeeeeeen bananas that i got on a sat , to do the kids lunches on the mon. took 1.5 weeks to ripen :mad: God only knows what the wee woman picking them was thinking
)There is always a £10 off £50.00 shop at asda so in thero works out better value than tesco. If the vouchers stop i will definetly be going back to asda

Lets see how long Tesco can hang out on the points situation!

Me, I've got lots of choices when it comes to supermarkets and saving money!

I'd be dead worried if I were head of marketing at Tesco with £360m up the swany!! Heads will roll!
