  Tesco Slough now selling the chillies by weight only! You get just 25 extra points per purchase, not per chillie in-store!

    so spend a few hours buying 1 at a time, 1p for 25 points? if its a 24 hour place I would stay all night tonight doing it 🙂

  Would love to get our orders, but really don’t think Tesco will have enough Chillies/Okra on hand to fulfil even a small percentage of orders being placed by HFP readers, especially if everyone is ordering 99 per order/multiple orders! If not i feel sorry for the person who has to count out 99 individual Chillies probably hundreds of times today.

  Think it may be a case that the first couple of orders will get lucky, or they will adjust the CC points to 25 per order of chillies regardless of quantity.

  Can you put them through in store on self-service/at checkout counter by quantity instead of weight? e.g. could I put that I’ve bought 100 Okra, to get 25 clubcard points per Okra? The alternative being pretty long winded!

    The machines only work by weight for these items unfortunately.

    Also I have yet to hear of even one person ACTUALLY getting as much as the basic 25 bonus points per order, let alone 25 points per item from this promo.

    I tried it last night in store & no bonus points at all were awarded.

      Did it say 25 points on the shelf label? If so tell customer services and they will add the points

      • TimS says:

        Yes the shelf label definitely said 25 bonus CCs, but the queue at CS was too long to be worth the bother. I am far from the only person to have failed to get the points in-store yesterday, and by the sounds of it we were all shooping in entirely different areas so it isn’t limited to just one store either.

          Tesco (apart from Express stores) runs off a single IT system. If it doesn’t work in one store it won’t work in any store.

          This sometimes works in your favour as you can get bonus points on items which are carrying a bonus even when your local store refuses to admit such a bonus exists.

    If it works on weight then no, but reports are that the self service machines aren’t adding the points. Get a human

    • luckyjim says:

      A human isn’t going to give you 25 points per item. We need to wait until the self service machines are working and then weigh the items individualy – possibly even pay for them individually. Hopefully the deal is not killed before then.

      Many items sold by weight in store are sold ‘per item’ on line. How else would you order two large baking potatoes say?

  Thanks for reporting! Looks like we’ll all be rejecting our Okra orders now.

  Why can’t I even find the rocket chills when ordering online? Closest thing that comes up in a search are packs of chillis….

    your local store does not stock them,

    you can change to collection and pick from your other local(ish) stores, tho might not be worth it,

    my closest store that does any of the 25 cc point ones in 30+ miles (tho i could find someone local to collect them, since you only need the order email to pick up)

• Jonathan says:

  And when you ordered what did you have on order receipt? You should’ve have the total bonus points stated in there. Why are we getting the order receipt as if it is going to credit for each item and not for each order?

  • TimS says:

    4 Jun4 June 13:26

    Because the order receipt is a guide only & is subject to an inherent weakness in the way Tesco online prices up some items by unit online but by weight when picked & packed.

    The 25CC offer itself is not clear whether it is by weight or by piece. Online it prices up by piece but in store it appears to be based on one bonus per transaction.

    Unfortunately Tesco will argue that the order receipt is just that: An order. It is not a confirmed transaction.
    The confirmed transaction only comes when you acceopt the receipt that the delivery driver provides you, which should state the actual CCs to be awarded.
