Boost Your Tesco Clubcard Points Discussion

A question about : Boost Your Tesco Clubcard Points Discussion

Really trying to boost my points, (and save some money!), finally got the OH to consider changing from british gas.

Can anyone tell me any good / bad stories on the energy service through powergen / tesco.

By my calculations I should save Ј140 a year including the points I will earn. (to be spent on deals of course!)

• I have recently got my clubcard on the advice of another mortgage broker on the mortgage boards. I used to be a die hard asda fan but so far I shop for food, clothes and stationary at tesco, books and cosmetics, I fill my car up there, I have swapped to tesco car insurance, tesco pet insurance and I was already with powergen so am colllecting points for that. Its all stacking up. A friend of mine says he's used tesco clubcard points towards his holiday!
• I use Powergen & (touch wood) have not had too much bother with them.
  Sign up to all the Tesco clubs online for extra points coupons - https://www.tesco.com/clubcard/clubcard/clubs/
  Also I use Tesco DVD Rental - £13.97 a month for 3 at a time, one of the cheapest I have found.
  Look at the Tesco thread on the vouchers board for shopping online.
• Ask family and friends who don't use the extra points coupons they get with their quarterly points can youn have them, if the cashier dosn't notice the different name you can use them with your clubcard, also handy if you've got a few for the same thing as you only have to buy 1 item but get the points for each coupon! (if that makes sense)
• Shop online as there are loads of extra point deals.
  Register more than one card. You will still get the mailings with extra points in even if you don't use it.
• I have joined their food, wine and healthy living clubs so get extra point coupons in the mail, hubby thinks joining the baby/toddler club just to get points is crazy. May be he is worried I might get broody
  Can anyone tell me if the baby/toddler club coupons are for non baby products? Or are they just for nappies, baby milk, etc - have no need for those
  I buy my breakdown cover and 2 mag subscriptions with points each year .... now saving them to see if we can get enough for a holiday
• Look out for receipts in the trollys & especially around the tesco garages,if the receipt has a barcode at the bottom the points have not been claimed.I got 4 receipts at the w/e for a total of 218 points the best being one with 94 points,i got two of them put on my card this morning at the CS desk.Also you quite often find bonus extra points receipts in the trollys as well.

  I dont have a baby but get the magazine and get occaisionally useful coupons, like 100 points for developing a film
• generally for baby products you tend to be lucky if you get the odd one that isnt
  might get the odd one for the expectant mum say for baby oil or something
  else that a mum could use but not generally usually nappies bottles baby wipes etc
• They often do great Clubcard points offers with the dvdrental service. I bought a 3 month 1-disc package just before christmas and got 750 free cc points!
  And Joscar is right about joining their clubs - i am in their wine club and healthy living club and often get double cc points coupons in their mailings, and also extra points when i but certain products.
• Just a bit of advice from me.
  Just because Tescos offer points, it doesn't mean they are the cheapest. And even when you use the points for "Deals", it might have worked out cheaper for you to buy from another place.
  e.g., Tesco Breakdown cover is (I believe) around £60 for 1 car for a comprehensive cover. AutoAid is only £32.
  Getting points is great, I try to do it often, but make sure its the cheapest option
• Hi Guys
  I LOVE Tesco points! I have Pet Insurance, Powergen, Clubcard plus Credit Card! Oops forgot Tesco Phone. I generally get around £50 of vouchers each quarter which in Deals is £200!
  I used them to pay £500 toward disney Paris last year with Cresta.
  I bought a bed for my daughter from MFI. Trips to Legoland, Chessington etc Meals out at Pasta Italia .... the list goes on. Without Tesco I could not have afforded to do any of the above.
