Boosting your Tesco Clubcard Points Discussion Area

I doubled up my clubcard vouchers and used them on Tesco Finest food items. Normally I wouldn't buy these, but the jams are on offer at the moment, 2 jars for £2. The chocolate is also on offer. I've made a big stash of jams, honeys, marmalades, and chocolate, that will take us through the winter and beyond and also includes some Christmas present items. I know this wouldn't be everyone's best use of the vouchers, but for me it's good to know I have this stash ready for when the days turn colder, and also means I won't have to account for these items on my regular weekly shop.

Its been mentioned before that you can take in receipts from friends who can't be bothered to collect points and have the points added to your account. Is this possible even if they pay by credit card (as the last few numbers of their card appears on the receipt). If I was asked by CS to prove that it was my receipt I would not be able to.

TIA

They don't usually ask to prove it was your receipt. And if they did you can say I don't have that particular credit card on me, or your partner paid for the shopping.

In-store they will put points on up to 14 days - but only two at a time - as a consequence of womblers!
Yes, that is the correct HQ address, but there is a time limit, they will only put points on up to 28 days.

If you've lost a card, report it and order another, and pick up a temporary one to use in the meantime.

But be aware, if too many of your transactions are the result of store adjustments - you could be classed as a wombler and banned or fined points.

Anybody know if there is a limit to recycling cans - my daughter works in a large pub they throw a LOT in the bin each week, easily in the 000's for a weekend

Looked on T's website bit can't see anything

Thanks

Ok. I just picked up the T Direct catalogue and noted the large Clubcard points savings. 15000 up for grabs with some easy wins like 500 of any £50 shop. There are some extreme ones however that require sizable furniture purchases or kitchen/ appliance rerquirements.

Worth noting, already the online site has price reductions from the catalogue. i went on to look at a digital camera, and found the online version a model up and £10 less than the catalogue version, so if you are looking to spend to qualify for bonus points, look online for the latest price.

Been looking in catalogue for the bonus points but cannot find can anyone help?

I dont think theres a limit but theres only a certain few tescos where they have a machine for these and I hear its a bit hit and miss as to if they're working or not. Would be a pain to take all those tins there and find it out of order.

Has anyone else tried Tescos electric goods recycling scheme? I took in a couple of junked radios but they only give you 5 green points for old stuff. 10 free points for me but if I'd gone to any trouble to bring in something more bulky it would have been a bit of a disappointment

i have a Tesco receipt dated 25th of august. i forgot my clubcard on that day.
i know i have 14 days to get the points put on.
would the last day i can do it be the 7th of september? or the 8th?

Zack1 · 7 September 2011 at 6:58PM

I'd assume the end of today, generally the day in which the transaction took place is counted as a day for refunds etc.

Is the 14 days rule strictly enforced? If you can't get there to get them added today then try and charm your way to getting them added at a later date!

And if you don't mention it (and play stupid if they do!) they might not know!
