    Which card? Presumably the Gold I just cancelled 🙂

  Thanks the Tesco code finally worked this time!

  I think the days of offers being loaded to cardmemberoffers are gone – nothing has been on there for months. They are either available in the offers section of your account or on the AmexConnect site for non-Amex issued cards. Amex issued cards that don’t have the offers in their account section have to go without.

  Roughly what taxes do delta charge on transatlantic redemptions? Am I right in presuming this offer is purely through delta and not available through virgin atlantic.

    Can only be booked with Delta miles. Minimal taxes as no fuel surcharges (but is it Delta which adds a fee to ex-Europe bookings? I always forget!)

  OT but Tesco related.

  I have a number of Tesco vouchers that expire at the end of August. I would like to extend their expiry date. I know I can use a voucher for the minimum 600 Avios for £2.50 and have the balance returned next quarter. Can I repeat this process for each expiring voucher in the account.

  Thanks.

    That’s fine. As long as you don’t go over the 30,000 points limit the following quarter with your ‘change’.

    • xcalx says:

      Thanks. I will keep an eye on the 30,000 limit.

    I thought there was something in the Clubcard rules now about doing this?

    • TimS says:

      T&C no.37 states that:

      Tesco Freetime may refuse (at all times acting reasonably) any Clubcard Boost or Clubcard perk order where there is evidence of abuse or attempted abuse of the Clubcard Scheme or where the customer has not acted as a consumer. To avoid any doubt, abuse includes, but is not limited to; …

      …h. redeeming Clubcard vouchers for the sole purpose of extending the life of the Clubcard points by submitting vouchers where the value of the Boost product would give a refund of more than 50 in points change.

      That said, I am not aware of them enforcing this rule. I’ve extended the life of a few expiring vouchers in the latest quarter without issue, where the refund was more than 50 points each time.

        Oh I see you found it 😉

        50 points is ridiculous, they often send £50 denomination vouchers so of course there will be multiple occasions where the change is much, much higher than 50 points.

        As you say, I’ve also never seen it enforced and I think you could easily challenge it even if they tried. Best not to line up the £50 vouchers on the same day, though.

          Agree that seems bonkers when they’re the ones that pick the voucher denomination and often send £50 ones! Glad they don’t seem to enforce it.

      When I’ve done it before I’ve changed a large denomination voucher (say £50) for £2.50 of rewards and then had the rest back as ‘change’ credited to my account 😛

      • Rob says:

        19 Aug19 August 11:29

        So have I – but I am sure a line was added to the rules to cover this. Can’t check as on my phone.

    • cheekychappie says:

      Had a look & couldn’t find anything. Tesco has always had the right to cancel Clubcard a/cs where they suspected abuse, but this isn’t abuse. After all, they could always refund the balance in points dated the same as the originals.

      However, they don’t, they still give you a new 2 years life. I’ve done it earlier this year with no problems, I guess we’re only talking about £150 worth of points recycled so nothing major.

      Might be a sensible idea to redeem the (say) £2.50 on big vouchers (to trigger the new 2 years for the balance) at intervals rather than on the same day.

  Thanks for the Tesco code and recent Apple Amex statement credit – that is 3k avios and £50 I would not have gained without HFP.

  Score. Used it for click and collect. 3 bottles of booze to pick up on my way home tomorrow. No need to bother with the delivery!
