Not that I really care as long as my points are OK, but it should be easy to automate the changeover by setting a flag on accounts when the quarterly points are deducted. That flag could then activate the correct quarter on the web page. It just seems a bit amateurish to me for such a large and profitable company as Tesco.

I've received the offer of 600 bonus points for converting my Tesco vouchers to BA miles. I'm on the historic conversion rate of 3.2 BA miles. If I take up the 600 bonus points offer, will my points be converted at the 3.2 rate or at the 2.4 rate (as the email offer seems to indicate)? Sorry if this point has been covered previously - I did search the thread....

Leopards Leap in our local Metro is displaying 100 points and also shows on receipt but not carried forward to next receipt.
Also noticed that the 1600 points for champagne got "lost" at the end of the quarter

Points for products bought since 26th July will post eventually... usually just after you actually receive your vouchers.

I really don't know what we ended up with, the Champagne and Leopards Leap all showed on the receipts.We didn't get the amount I was expecting this 1/4 but Mrs JP is already on over 5000 CC points assume a lot missed the cut off.

Warning: caps on redeeming Clubcard points for Virgin Holidays
From 1 September, the maximum value of points redemptions for Virgin Holidays will be £700 per person and £400 per person for Cosmos, enhanced from unlimited at present.
If you were thinking of redeeming for these awards, now may be a good time to do so.
My bumper bundle of points coupons has not yet arrived. Beginning to feel like The Marvelettes - 'Please Mr Postman - is there a letter for me?'
[Sorry, title should include Cosmos]

For the 2nd quarter in a row my auto-convert points have been posted to my wife's EC account rather than mine. Not really too much of an issue as we have a household account but I have been auto-converting for years and this mix-up has just happened out of the blue!

As yes, 5040 miles from my auto-convert account.
The sharp-eyed will realise that this is 2,100 points, which is 2 x £50 grocery orders with a 1,000 point bonus on each!
