  Wonder what happened to all the folks from the old PTS site.

  One of my favs was the forever love CDs.

  Buy two CDs that were £1 each and get 500 bonus points. So £2 outlay for what was £20 worth of vouchers. Still have a load I need to give to charity! They didn’t sell too well on eBay! 🙂

    PTS was important to me and Loyalty Points before that. I was on both as Greenpen, but not a super active poster.

    The Greenpen on FT is also me albeit in a slightly persona.

  Being in my 20s, loving and slightly envious of some of these brilliant stories!

  Ah 3V days, especially when Tesco were going to be short of a quarterly/HY revenue target and were mailing out big money-off coupons to every clubcard holder.

  Got thrown out of large Tesco up north with my baby son by a very angry branch manager who I thought was going to get physical, very upset I wouldn’t hand over my stack of coupons to him.

  That was the point where I threw out the box full of used 3V cards – I thought (prompted by a post on another forum) “if someone did call the police on me, I have broken no laws, but these would be quite difficult to explain”.

  Although nothing to these extremes, it was Tesco Clubcard deals that got me into the miles collection game initially. Earning enough to take 2 J flights to Las Vegas for just taxes back in the day had my wife astounded and soon got her interested in the game too!

  Great memories 🙂 This ‘game’ was so much fun when Tesco played. Like @Andrew, I always used domestic work trips as an opportunity to visit Tesco branches I couldn’t normally get to, to see what they had. Like @TheUrbanite, I remember the Maggi noodles and remember lifting about 20 Xmas magazines to get the vouchers. Like @SuperGraeme, I once visited my company’s head-office (where I was a rare visitor) with several carrier bags of okra. And the search for 3V cards kept my weight down as I walked certain routes almost daily on the lookout.

  My favourite was buying tons of HP ink cartridges for printers I didn’t own. Pretty sure that got me to NY in J a couple of times.

  I use to put the barcode number in manually at a Tesco that didn’t sell the games which really confused staff.
  I’ve also still got all the photos of all the 3v cards I bought with all the different Amex cards. I think I spent around 12k on the cards alone.

    I still have a 3V folder sitting in hotmail with all the confirmations or whatever it was. 3V even topped bent hotels for me.

  Wasn’t there a deal on with bananas at a similar time to the roast beef?
  I remember the baby club deals buying nappies and other baby items with points and coupons and then flogging the lit at car boot sales along with the hood old health and beauty points. I spent our points on VA holidays La, San Diego and three visits to Disney World. I wasn’t as Davy with miles back then.
