Just think, this new car means I'll never have to buy petrol ever again! Think of how much money that will save over the next 10 years! In 10 years at £2500 per year,
.
I've got £45 worth of Tesco points so far but there are still more points to come!
How will the new system affect you, will you have to spend more to get the same number of points .

I hope it works for you Malcolm. You are exaggerating the savings a little though as for the lifetime of the PCP you will increase your out goings and so saving during this period is likely to be more like £1,300.Whilst at Gatwick pitch over darker evenings it could well cost £600 in fuel for the Shogun and so I suspect savings more like £700 assuming no charge to charge.
Using seasonal pitches is a far greater saving.
Hope it works out OK

We find we save more by varying the supermarket we shop at. This not only provides a bit of variety. It stimulates the supermarkets automated systems to send you money of vouchers, to try and get your custom back. These always seem to save us considerably more than any loyalty points we get.
Loyalty to a particular brand, is rarely rewarded and is generally pointless.☹️

About three months ago I googled an item on 3 different shops' sites. Made my selection and bought it.
I am still getting gratuitous adverts on my screen for such an Item.
I do not need another one. - how pointless is that?
Perhaps advertisers will wake up one day and realise that Internet advertising of this nature is a rip off. Some poor company has been charged for those wasted adverts.

One thing that puzzles me Malcolm is that you appear to achieve only 26 mpg with your present Smart Car. I would have expected closer to 40 mpg overall and £1,600 for fuel? I know that others run a Smart and I would have expected better mpg.

Yes, it's not as economical as I first thought but it's still a lot better than the Shogun for urban usage.

We too shop around to get the best deals but we do so with our Tesco credit card which clocks up the points. We don't oftern shop in the store these days but every now and again I like to go for a look, the points I have now have been accumulated over the last 2 years so some are soon going to run out of date. There isn't much up our neck of the woods to spend them on so try to use them when away with the MH. Weather not on our side at the moment though

I forgot that we get nectar points with ebay, OH uses it a lot for fishing stuff etc. Last year we had a big chunk off a new printer thanks to the points, since OH never pays full whack for anything we did quite well to gain the points.

EBay is where most of our nectar points come from too, and fuel at Sainsbury's, I did have enough before christmas to buy a new kettle from Argos.

About 7 years ago we bought a kettle from Argos. It was their basic model, cost about £12. I never buy the extra 3 years insurance but MrsWN bought this one and did buy it. 1 month before the end of the 3 years the kettle stopped working. Argos replaced it so I bought the 3 years insurance. I just knew the kettle would spite me by not breaking down in time! Still working.
I like that about Argos, they don't seem to quibble.

Argos are very good for exchanges, I'am now on my third Iron, just hoping it's third time lucky!

You could get double points if you use a Tesco debit card, Tammygirl, instead of the credit card. Not entirely pointless because you would clock up a lot more clubcard points that way!

I've got one Malc but never use it, just got the account for the 3% interest rate for 2 years so nothing pointless in that
to be honest I can never find anything to spend my points on these days, used to like it when they did the double up deals. We tended to buy lots of stuff for the Gkids then. 1 -
We have the Tesco accounts too, OH has 2, I just have 1. Never spend anything out of them, purely to get the 3%.
We used to use our points on the Days Out things, but we have done most of what we want now, so these days we use them for meals out, mainly to treat ourselves when we are away in UK.

I have both the Tesco debit card as well as the Tesco credit card. I use the debit card for all Tesco spending and the credit card for all non-Tesco spending. However, my wife has a Tesco credit card on my account but no debit card, so she uses her Tesco credit card for her shopping whilst I'm at work.

I just make the minimum payments by direct debit and then add a bit more if I have extra funds available.
