nonononono, dont do it all in one go!!!.
Historic accounts for some reason sometimes still go through fine when muddled together, but more often than not it doesnt. Especially if it is your first go you must do them separately. They can all go into your same BA account, but you need to do 3 separate transactions, each time logging in to the relevant tesco account to do the operation.
You've got nothing to lose doing it separate, but everything to lose if you dont and it goes belly up.

A sunny day in Scotland (albeit a bit windy) has seen me pouring some of my point generating fluid down the gullet with the greatest of ease!!

I guess the only good thing is that the stuff I bought two years ago or so is now Vintage!

In short, if the code was accepted when I placed the order, does this mean the points will get added regardless of when the delivery is scheduled?
What do you think?

My order arrived a few days after they increased the minimum order to £50 and I still got my 1,000 points. I expect to get another 1k for the identical order I'm getting this Wednesday.
Obviously if you can think of £15 of stuff you actually need it doesn't do any harm to increase the order, but it doesn't seem necessary in my experience.

OT - tesco and airmiles
I bought a few airmiles with my tesco vouchers but no where in the checkout process did it ask for my airmiles membership number (like it does for your BAEC number when buying BA miles). How will the airmiles end up in the right place? Anyone know?

Nothing! I obviously needed to buy something to trigger the 1,000 points, and a couple of bags of nappies seemed a sensible choice - especially as we always walk to the shops normally and they are a bugger to carry. Obviously if you don't have a baby then this is not such a good idea.

Ink Catridge Recycling question
Anyone know whether the recycling scheme accepts full cartridges, which may be out of date, no use as printer changed or both?
