Tesco Sim card: £20 credit for £10 + £5 off code

Tesco Direct has sim cards loaded with £20 of airtime reduced to £10. If you spend £20 (you could get two sims), you can use the code to get £5 off of your order: TDX-CLHD. The code won't work if you've used it before, but you can set up another account with a different email address in minutes. I did this today and got £40 of airtime for £15. Premium delivery is free. Go here: http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.200-2121.aspx

If you don't want to pop a new sim card in your phone and have a new number, you can use the card to ping yourself the airtime, one pound at a time: http://www.tesco.com/mobilenetwork/letstalkabout/?page=pingmeapound

    Oh, on a related note, does anyone know if Tesco airtime loaded onto sims expires? I really won't need to use this for up to a year, but the deal was good and I assumed the credit won't expire.

    once its there its there til you use - which is why its such a good payg deal...though I do tend to activate cards on a spare phone before I store them for later use.

    I'm actually going to leave one in a spare phone (one of the Lg Jaguars Tesco is selling where the phone is basically free because it includes 10 pounds airtime). But it's good to know that it's best to activate both sims I ordered now. :)

    Thanks for this:T

    Have done this quite a few times in the past as I'm on o2 and Tesco Mobile use o2 as their network provider. BTW, you get £21 worth of credit on each sim so are getting £42 airtime for £15;)
