Indeed

I have a fixed agreement with my mum who uses one of my cards in return for £3 every quarter :-) It is more the principle than the cash, but she normally earns about that anyway.

You get 1 point per € in Ireland which, if earning Euro Clubcard points makes no difference. Using a UK card however means you earn 1 stg clubcard point per € spent.
