An interesting coupon I got with my latest clubcard coupon mailing is 200 points for a £10 O2 top up.
I buy O2 topups as I use giffgaff for their cheap unlimited data packages and O2 top ups work with giffgaff so I buy £10/month worth through Tesco so I get some points out of it, but 200 for this time was a nice surprise.
Did anyone else get this?

Tesco Mortgages
Hi,
Saw today that Tesco now do mortgages. Seems like you can earn 1 clubcard point for every £4. Rates don't seem too bad. Might be a nice way to earn some clubcard points

I wouldn't base my mortgage decision on clubcard points, if their deal is the best, fair enough, but unless you pay a huge amount every month 1 point per £4 really isn't that many points if you work it out over a year.
Most people could probably earn the same extra points just by buying a few DVD's with extra points instead.

Been out for a couple of months now:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/borrowing/mortgages/9449463/Tesco-Bank-finally-launches-first-range-of-mortgages.html
I really wonder how many people will take one out just for extra clubcard points - £2.50 worth per £1000 repaid.

Maybe check the "whoops" section for reduced ones, points should still go on.

Alas, you will find this is an any two for the 25 points offer. Clearly marked on some items earlier this week.

Made the most amazing spaghetti bolognese this evening
OK, I overpaid for the veg, but the meat discount balanced things out a bit
Whatever the Tesco equivalent is, yellow stickers in any case
Didn't see any of the organic veg in the reduced section today though

I bought carrots, baking potatoes, baby corn and beans on 20 and 26th Sept and they all went through as 25 points for two. Also said that on the shelf sticker.
I know the web site says 25 points each but in the past it has not given them for a single purchase.
Maybe they are awash with organic veg and have changed the offer or have different offers in different stores. Both these possibilities represent a significant departure from normal Tesco behaviour.
Off to my Extra to explore!

The O2 link is a positive!

There's a few hassles and sometimes their website goes down at the worst time possible (as an ex-bmi customer I'm used to it ), but ultimately I'm happy as they offer good value.
If you decide to give it a go PM me and I'll send you an affiliate link, you'll get an extra £5 credit and so will I.
What I did was get a SIM, try it out for coverage etc in an old Nokia I had, then for a few days I put the SIM in my regular phone to test data speeds, etc. Then you you're happy at the end of the month you can port your number over, if you're not happy you've just spent a tenner, a lot safer than getting tied down in a contract.
You can pay in two different ways, you can have what they call a recurring goodybag when you pay for your package monthly on a credit (Visa/MC only) or debit card.
What I do is top my phone up PAYG style buying an O2 voucher from Tesco on my Amex to maximise points (so it was nice when they sent me that 200 bonus points voucher) and then you can take your unlimited data/texts package out of your PAYG credit.
