    I am going to apply for one of their clubcards. Do the vouchers come back though just for particular items (that I may not even want)

    Your points get converted to vouchers that you can use on anything. They will also send vouchers out for other products that you may never use.

    If you get the clubcard deals with the vouchers, you get 4X the value of them.

    Don't bother... unless you spend a fortune as you typically only get back 1%.

    Also, they, (Tesco), are unreal in a big brother sense... we bought new born pampers for our new baby for a few weeks in tesco, and they sent us a congratulations letter on the birth of our newborn baby!

    They know everything..... :eek::eek::eek:

    It's still something for nothing.
    If you don't do your shopping in Tesco then not much point, if you it's worth it especially when they do their "specials" i.e. 50% rebates on consoles, Video's, dvd's, cd's, wine etc.
    It all adds up.

    Thats why all shops do club cards. It's an easy way for them to track your spending patterns and help them with their marketing. For the cash you get off it's worth it. You'd be spending the money regardless so may as well make something back off it. You can also use it to buy petrol/diesel and get points there. And when they give the 5c off per litre you have to have a card.

    I've lost my clubcards, oops, anyone know how long it takes to get a replacement and can you apply online?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,329 ✭✭✭✭loyatemu


    if you do your shopping in Tesco it definitely worth having one.

    - you get 1% back in money-off vouchers - this does add up if you're spending €100+ every week
    - you can convert the money-off vouchers to Deal vouchers for places like the Zoo, Insomnia, Harry Ramsdens etc and you get €4 for every €1 voucher
    -If you have a Tesco credit card you get points every time you use it (and extra points when you use it in Tesco)
    - they also send you additional discount vouchers for certain products and thanks to their all-seeing big brother database, these usually are products that you buy.

    ok, in exchange you are selling them your soul, but you can't have everything (where would you put it?)

    Well worth it. I converted my last set of vouchers to meal deals (4x value).
    So on friday i enjoyed a €72 meal at lemongrass with my wife. I had €60 worth of vouchers so i left a €20 to cover the rest and tip. I would have spent €20 on a take away anyway :D
    and when they do the specials such as 25% back on alcohol and computer stuff, and also clothes then it makes a nice difference too. Use it when filling up at their petrol stations too :D
    At the end of the day, its not costing you anything.

    The clubcard scheme is more for Tesco's benefit than yours. They use it to develop shopper profiles and marketing initiatives. However, I accepted that when I signed up to it and I'm happy to get a little back every so often.

    If you lose your clubcard just pick up a new one instore and ring them and get them to transfer over your old points. I now save my vouchers and use them to get things from the days out/holidays catalogue . We got 2 adult and 2 kids legoland tickets for around €40 worth of vouchers so very good value. Can also use them on Stena Line, zoo etc.
