    If you have separate clubcard accounts is is possible to transfer the points to a single avios or BAEC account?

    • Rob says:

      Yes, as long as the surnames and address match at both ends.

        How is this possible? I have two Tesco CC accounts, a second one created accidentally by Tesco Bank when I misplaced a Clubcard Plus.

        They are both in the same name and I had an existing Avios account. However when I tried to transfer CC to Avios from the second CC account, Avios opened a second account for me.

        I’m just wondering what I should do – ask Avios to merge, link in a family account, or keep separate, hoping that new transfer bonuses will come along.

  I’m planning to get 2 per account too.
  My OH doesn’t have a Tesco card. Can she pick one up at the store before pre-ordering these games?

    ‘Temporary cards’ are harder to find these days, but Customer Services should have them even if they’re not on the racks

    If you don’t want to risk Raffles suggestion, sign up online and print a temp card immediately.

      You can also sign up instore if they have a club card terminal and it will print off a temp slip with barcode you can use until your club card arrives.
      I joined my son and daughter this morning. Took the slips to checkout, along with the ps3 and xbox barcodes and got another 4020 points to convert to our BA household account.

      My son and daughter are already members of my BA household acc btw so its all legit.

  Typing the codes into the self-serve tills work but it doesn’t generate the £5 off slip but as I had no intention of buying the game down tend line, wasn’t bothered. Also it needs something to go into the bagging area – I just chucked my wallet in which worked. Oh and a supervisor will need to confirm your age as it’s an age-restricted product, so maybe buy a bottle of wine too so as to not alert them to query what is age restricted.

  Just a word of caution – not being near a Tesco Extra store, I went to a local Express store this evening and manually typed in the PS3 & XBox barcodes to the self checkout. After a few confused looks from one of the staff (age approving products that he didn’t think they sold) – paid £10 and upon leaving was disappointed found no bonus points applied. (just the regular 10)

  Not sure what went wrong in this case, the items scanned in as “Call of Duty PS3” and “Call of Duty” – but nothing triggered the bonus. This might be an isolated fail, or it might signal that this promo could not have long left to run, but just flagging up that it’s not 100% dead cert to work and you could like me simply have paid £10 for absolutely nothing!

    This happened to me as we’ll, but I got a refund which he offered in cash! So not a total loss as I used my amex to pay!

  • Matt says:

    I don’t think it works at Express stores as the promotion is not loaded into their price database, express has different pricing to larger stores (often more expensive) and hence a different database. Best to go to Tesco extra, home plus, metro or superstore

    To put the top 5k into perspective, HUKD is at 75 and has a million man newsletter. Raffles’ achievement here has been great, but there is only a ltd market for top end travel: in a recession.

    Weren’t you bemoaning of the post on here over at PTS? Not very sporting.

    Actually, I tested this last night and because Tesco wasn’t in the original headline it wasn’t coming up. I then changed the headline, though!

  • Rob says:

    You forget the vast pile of data on the site now, though, which is well ranked by Google. In a typical day, the site gets 10,000 page views from 3,300 different people. However, no individual post receives more than 1,500 page views. There is a massive long tail on the site now.

      Why do people think Tesco are unhappy?

      Is the margin on the game more than £5?

      I’m guessing that the margin is less that £5 if they’re happy to give you 1000 points for less than £5 they’ll be happy to give you 1000 for £5 surely?

      • Simon85 says:

        14 Aug14 August 10:32

        True. I also seriously doubt that Tesco’s own valuation of 1000 clubcard points is anywhere near £10.

  I with Tesco would do this with Barry Manilow CDs. I could actually do with some easy listening classics to listen to in the car.
