Tesco Vouchers
Tesco Clubcard Vouchers
You use a Tesco Clubcard to gain "points" by spending money at Tesco. Every few months you will receive Tesco vouchers through the post. These allow you to redeem the value of the points you have gained by purchasing more Tesco goods. Alternatively, you can purchase treats from partner companies that, often, double the value of the points.
- Along with the Tesco vouchers for points you can also get Tesco vouchers with money off offers and prize-draw vouchers (where the prize is usually - you guessed it - more points!)
Tesco has an association with some utility companies whereby you can gain points by simply buying gas or electricity. Because these are expensive items (!) you can actually run up a good total of points by doing this. So it is well worth checking if Tesco has such a deal with your utility company. Once you have such a deal running you might not feel so bad when your utility company over-charges you, it means you get more points! More seriously, it gives the utility company an extra incentive to get their charging right.
Tesco voucher codes
There are many websites that keep you informed about Tesco Voucher codes. These are codes that can be used in particular circumstances to get you more points. Then, of course, you get more Tesco vouchers when Tesco get round to sending them to you through the post. A typical offer:
- 500 points when you spend £50, code XXTM3N, expires September 2009 (this is an actual offer!)
Just to make things more complicated, the code XXTM3N is also sometimes called a voucher! This makes the phrase Tesco voucher code ambiguous. It is both a code that is a voucher, and a code to get vouchers! If your head is now starting to hurt, don't worry. It's usually obvious what sense of voucher is being used in particular contexts.
Assuming you already have an account with Tesco, using a Tesco voucher code is easy. Using the above example code, you would simply go shopping in Tesco's online store until you have £50 of goods in your online basket. Now click the "checkout" button and pick a delivery time. You are now asked to pay, and now you get to use the voucher code. Just click the button titled "use coupon/vouchers". Notice that they are asking for the code ( XXTM3N). Just type this number in, and, voila, you get your extra 500 points when purchase is completed.
