Tesco Club Card

Posted by Stan wears on March 20, 2023, 21:19:39

Watching the news tonight I see the Tesco Club Card rewards are to drop further later this year. Anyway, I decided to change my address online 2 days ago only to find I have to pay £20 for the pleasure. That was so disgusting. I wondered how long it would take to recover the £20 so goodbye Tesco Clubcard!

Stan, I would just take out a new card and lose the last one, they could whistle for the £20.

To me this sounds unlikely. Are you sure that you were on the Tesco.com website Stan?
I went there just now and there did not appear to be any charge for changing an address.
It wouldn't make business sense for Tesco.
Are you aware however that from April 18 the physical club cards will not operate and you must a QR code on your phone.

Maybe a scam but it was definitely £20 and Tesco.

We don't have a mobile, wonder what happens. There must be others who don't have one.

It came up on Slothmove. It said it would change my address even with the dvla. It asked for past and present postcode plus email address. Maybe it's Slothmove and not tesco asking for £20. However, I was reluctant to go ahead.

Sounds like a scam to me !

So not Tesco to blame.

Slothmove (of which I had never heard until Stan's post) is apparently a kosher site and will deal with multiple companies in changing addresses on a house move for instance for a fee.
I would prefer to make my changes direct with the companies I deal with and therefore protect my information. I agree that it can be a pain dealing with many companies but in my view it is safer.

Clubcard only with QR for Les

Posted by Mac Cummings on March 21, 2023, 13:53:27, in reply to "Re: Tesco Club Card for Stan"

As it stands you will only be able to use a QR code via a mobile. But you could download the QR code and print it onto a piece of paper which would then scan.
Clearly Tesco have decided that the efficiency of the new system outweighs the potential loss of business from the 6% of the population who don't have smartphones.
So the choice is....stop using Tesco or get a smartphone.....!

Spoke to a tesco worker today about the change and she said it will be a few years before the new system comes in

Thanks for that Carol;. Hoping she is correct for those without the technology.

I'll ring Tesco tomorrow and let them know. Thanks.

Thank you Mac and Carol. It's a no brainer for us whenever it happens. We only use Tesco occasionally for the clubcard points. Home Bargains is just around the corner where we do most of our shopping. Lidl are 5 miles away and we have to pass Asda on the way 1 mile away. So we will stay in the 6%.

My main use Les is bulk purchase of wine when the offers are on plus the odd top up. The savings are enormous.
We have used Aldi for years for our weekly shop
