This is a little OT and bearing in mind I have left BA and now work for Tesco to fund me as a student nurse.
If you book a Thomson holiday thro' a Thomson travel agent you get Sainsburys nectar points for every pound you spend. You can't get it online tho'
I thought that our hol would be more expensive through the agent, but we are going to a 4 * hotel in Aug and she managed to save us £400 as she booked the kids as adults so we didn't incur an under occupancy supplement. ( The hotel suite was based on 2 adults sharing)
Worth a thought for any of you as common as me to go on a Thomson Superfamily hol.

When I used it it came up with the Msg you have to spend £99 .... but for free delivery, and it looks like the code is rejected.. Go to checkout and it says 1000 pts etc etc.

Sometimes you put in a code that it has in fact accepted, but it comes up with a red banner message saying your code hasn't been accepted. Most or at least quite often in this situation it is telling you that another code that is either automatic or which you've placed in earlier and banked has not been accepted. It may be an expired code or one where you didn't meet criteria ie you weren't invited or didn't spend enough. A good example is free delivery on wine for orders of £99 or more. I often put a code in and it says that the code is invallid or I haven't spent enough. But this is often for either the free delivery on £99 or over or some other code. In fact the only spending code I can think of that is for £99 is for free delivery of wine all others tending to be £50 or £75 or £100 etc.
What you need to do before you totally abandon the order is look in the points area on the confirmation and see whether the points are listed there. It is easy to miss or not even look when faced with the red banner message.
I'd say that on around 70% of my confirmations I get both the rejection message but also the specific points I requested.
Hope this helps.

The 200 points for books KYFF has also posted.
I note that I also got all my points posted for books I have ordered but are not due to be delivered until sometime into the future.

Do the wine buffs have any thoughts on the current offer on the Guigal Premium Mixed Case ? It looks quite attractive at £76 for the half dozen bottles and should qualify for the current 1,000 points offer. Can now answer my own question as these are 2002s and I just found this :-
"Only four wines from the 2002 vintage are included in this issue as the vintage was abysmal due to rain and flooding and consequently, the wine critics did not review most of the wines. Most of the wines they did review received poor scores and are not worth purchasing."
Trust Tesco to be purveying cr*p !
