If you can't use them in 6 months, you send them back to Tesco and they credit them back to your next statement.

Same for the green clubcard points for bag re-use. I still use the self-service ones unless there is a regular till being idle.
Another issue: I noticed that the latest wine club coupons give me a discount as opposed to the promised clubcard points - e.g. a 50 points coupon gave me 50p discount
I did email tesco customer service and they gave me the missing points (making this a double-dip 
), but still...

checkout operator knows when you are about to get a till spit
Went to my local tesco last night, and used some wine club coupons; this lead to a discussion with the (very nice) lady on the till. As I was punching in my pin number she said 'ooh, looks like you've got some more points' and I asked what she meant. She told me that the screen tells her whether till spits are being produced on this transaction
(I got 300 points for 20 on men's clothing, and 1,000 on 50 spend with Tesco Direct, as mentioned above)
Thought you all might like to know

Agreed it's rare that you get wine glitches like the nappy ones where you can scan umpteen different nappy point vouchers against a single pack of nappies.
You can double up some of the wine ones, for example using an "any wine" coupon with a country-specific wine coupon provided you buy a wine of that specific country. Occasionally you can get a three-way one if you have a coupon for a specific-named bottle, a coupon for the corresponding country and an "any wine" coupon.

Note that 2 of the '50 points on any Australian wine' coupons have different barcodes. This means they CAN be used together.
Also note that if you have multiple quanitities of the 8-10 digit personalised coupons (ie 1,000 points on a wine spend) then they CAN be used together. You CANNOT use more than 1 XX- coupon per order but you CAN use multiple personalised coupons - so 3 x 1,000 point wine coupons will go through on the same order. Note also that the £50 limit does not in reality apply, so 12 mini-bottles for £15 or so will work fine.

Inkjet Recycling Limit
T's and C's for Inkjet cartridge recycling now say that the limit is Max. 30 per household per year...but with 'phones it's 5 per person per year. Is there a per person limit for ink or can I merrily send 30? Not that I care greatly, but what's the rationale behind this? Surely either recycling cartridges is viable or it's not.

Does anyone know if you can book 1 way flights with airmiles - the website doesnt seem to offer the option, so was just wondering if it was possible?
