Top Deals From the Weekly Email
Boost Tesco Points
Read the email this appeared in
It's currently possible to make up to £11 profit when you buy selected pre-order CDs and DVDs. That's because while they cost £9, you get 500 bonus clubcard points. These can then be traded in for £20 of Tesco Rewards, which include days out, magazine subscriptions and more.
This is a full guide and regularly updated list of all Tesco Bonus point promotions which you can profit from... and everyday items to boost your point stash.
While worth 1p in store, Clubcard points values are quadrupled when converted to Tesco Clubcard Rewards Vouchers, which include days out, magazine subscriptions, holidays etc; eg, Alton Towers ticket for £7 of points, or a year's Cosmo subscription for £9.
This means if promotional bonus points given are more than a quarter of the goods cost in pence, you're in profit, providing you’d have used the reward anyway. Sometimes this makes it worth buying goods you don't want!
Even if you're not in profit, if there are substantial bonus points on goods you'd buy anyway, it's equivalent to a substantial discount. For full details of how to boost Tesco points see the Tesco Points Boosting guide.
Current Top Deal (Ends 22 Nov)
It's possible to get 500 bonus points on selected Tesco DVDs, CDs and blu-ray DVDs bought online. Some of these cost as little as £8.95, meaning convert the points to Tesco Rewards and you're effectively £11 in profit.
This deal originally ended on
Sunday 14 Nov, but Tesco has relaunched it, with even more titles included.
As well as last week's Leona Lewis and Take That CDs, this week it's adding Robbie Williams's Albums and Bruno on DVD, plus lots more. Browse them all at Tesco entertainment* (click on the tabs for the different departments, eg, DVDs, to see the full selections for each).They include:
- £8.95 Robbie Williams - Reality Killed - CD. (£11 profit).
- £8.95 Take That - Greatest Hits. (£11 profit).
- £8.95 Leona Lewis - Echo CD. (£11 profit).
- £8.98 Bruno - DVD. (£11 profit).
- £9.98 Inglourious Basterds DVD. (£10 profit)
- £13.98 Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince DVD. (£6 profit).
- £17.59 Ice Age 3 Blu-Ray. (£2.50 profit)
Warning! You can only get the 500 points once per product (e.g. get Susan Boyle & Robbie's CDs and you'd get 1,000 points)and do be aware that the 500 extra Clubcard points won't show in the online basket at the checkout, but Tesco says it will definitely be awarded and will appear in your February Clubcard statement. (This is provided the promo page shows it's on, so do make sure you can see a big 500 points banner).
Of course, it does take time for points to get on your statement, so it relies on the Tesco Reward scheme still being on then. But it has been running for years, and there’s been no indication of it changing.
The best examples are the famous wine deals, Beef In Gravy, and Johnson's baby powder, which originated on this site and ended up in all the papers. They worked like this:
When you bought any two Johnson's products, you got 100 extra points. The cheapest item was baby powder, at 76p; this meant you could therefore spend £1.52 to get 101 points, worth £4.04 of Clubcard deals vouchers, making more than £2.50 PROFIT!
With the similar beef in gravy episode, one person bought a few £100s worth, donated it to a homeless shelter and used the points for a return trip for two to New Zealand. Though do be slightly careful as Tesco reserves the right to block people for fair usage breaches. All major loopholes will go in the free weekly email.
Tesco was swamped with loophole MoneySaving hunters when a deal appeared in the weekly email explaining how to get 6 bottles of decent plonk plus £36 in Tesco Rewards for £27 (see the Tesco Wine Loophole news story).
