  3V website is down this morning. Does this imply changes or something more worrying.

    There is an IT glitch at the moment with their systems I’ve heard.

    Don’t bother going out to buy any at the moment either, activations aren’t working also.

  Ok, just had a succcessful shop. Found 4 x 3V cards in aTesco where I have never seen them before – and they were hidden behind some other cards! Got my 5 magazines for vouchers, and along with £44 of groceries I went to the till.
  1 x £8 discount on £80 spend from last statement – check
  1 x £5 helping hand voucher from last week’s shop (using £8 discount voucher again) – check
  4 x 3V cards successfully activated – check
  748 CC points (48 shopping + 2×150 + 4×100) – check!
  Total spend: £131, but since 3V cards aren’t actually spend (yet), that reduces it to £31. And since 748 CC is almost £7.50 in vouchers which can get you up to 4 times value in Boost, that’s only £1 spent on my groceries – Score!

  I only realised when the teller pointed it out that the 100 bonus points are per £20+ gift card (which did of course work on the VISA 3V cards, despite T&Cs), not per £20. Since I had 4 gift cards, that meant I could only use 4 vouchers, despite spending 5x£20=£100 on gift cards. All in all, a very successful trip! Thanks, Raffles 🙂

    PS: Considering the 2 Avios / £1 spent on my credit card, that’s 262 Avios worth around £2.60, so actually in profit! And since I have more £8 discount coupons and another £5 HH voucher, you can guess where I’ll be shopping.

      that’s an excellent result – hoping for something similar myself if i can find some 3v’s and some magazines (both fairly unlikely though did find a few 3vs earlier in the week)

      not surprised its per £20+ voucher as opposed to per £20 spend (t&c’s seemed fairly clear on this).

      Interesting thing is combining the vouchers with the “extra cost” visas cards (which i might buy using helping hands). If you buy a £50 card, you’ll pay an extra £3.95 but get 150 + 100 clubcard points using the voucher (=600 avios). Buy 2 x £25 cards and pay an extra£5.90 but get 150 + 200 cc pts (=840 avios). Extra 240 Avios for 1.85 = 0.8p each. Not enough to tempt me but might interest some.

  Wondering if the voucher will still work on the £20 Pizza Express gift cards that are discounted by 20% at the moment. Sometimes these offers work off the pre-discount price.

    Voucher worked for me yesterday but at the discounted rate for PE gift card. Happy hunting!

    I got an offer of 200 points when you buy a £20 Pizza Express gift card emailed to me today from Tesco Bank (I’ve got a Tesco Credit Card). It said the offer was only available to the recipient of the email though.

  Is there an expiry date for the magazine voucher? Wondering if I can still take advantage of it when I return from overseas.

  Does anyone know when the 20 % off gift cards started. Bought some Accessorize on Sunday only but they were not discounted.

  Is there a link to the 20% off gift cards promo? I can’t find any details online.

  Can’t see how buying visa cards makes you in profit at all considering the additional fees you have to pay ontop of the value of the card

  • Rob says:

    24 Nov24 November 14:05

    It works if you have a Helping Hand voucher or other Tesco coupon. And even without that it is £3.95 for 360 Avios which is not terrible …. With the 100 bonus points coupons you’d be getting 840 Avios for £6 (assuming you buy 2x£25 cards with a £3 fee).
