    You will get 1 extra Clubcard point for every £4 you spend on the card.

    I have a Tesco credit card with 3K limit. Doing all my Tesco shopping on it and 'stoozing' the cash I would have used for my shopping into my offset mortgage.
    I've managed to make 2500 (25 pounds) points in a 3 month period whereas previously I would have made 1000.
    A tip here is to use your clubcard to receive your points as per usual aswell as your Tesco credit card to collect bonus points. So for each shop you earn almost double would you usually would earn.

    Hope that this helps

    I just applied for the clubcard points one, you get 5 points for every £4 you spend at tesco's too, along with the 1 point for £4 elsewhere, got accepted instantly with a £3k limit, card will be with me in 10 days apparently.

    I'm self employed so didn't expect to be accepted instantly, but they also took my clubcard number which "gives only positive value" to the application - we use tesco's a lot so it probably helped.

    You only get 1 extra point per £4 whether you spend in Tesco or not. Everybody can get the normal 4 points per £4 (usual Clubcard rate), which with the above gives you the 5 points per £4 at Tesco quoted.
