If I can unlock them for a fiver each and sell for £15 each that seems an ok deal.
At what point in the order process does one input the grocery code?

At the checkout page there is a section just above where you enter the card details to pay that says "Use Coupons or Vouchers". Click and it brings up a box to enter the code.

You should then see the following added to your order:

eCoupon - 750 extra Clubcard points - £0.01

So could we send the 3 new Nokias back, for a further 1500 points!

Thank you, I too have 3 phones and 2356 points. I wonder how many they have to sell.

Hmm, you could do. Depends how much you value the points. You would easily get back £10 each after fees if you stick them on Ebay for £15 with free postage and don't bother unlocking them.

Thats what I was going to do, but I prefer to get most of my money back rather than the extra 1500 points. Be careful about selling phones that are locked, the 1208 goes for pennies if you are not careful.

Is it relatively easy to unlock them?

Plenty of services on eBay offering unlock for £5 a go.

The Airmiles site now has a dedicated area for recycling mobiles for miles, might be of some use to some people.

Points converted within 24 hours of the transaction ^

OT now has more miles than me and she's only ever flown to EDI once and SFO with me for Valentine's...

Thank goodness for a household account.

You can unlock online by requesting an unlock code, it can cost up to £10. I preferred to go to a shop near me where they unlocked using a cable hooked up to a pc, he showed me that the phone worked on another network and I paid £6 per phone.

I guess the more I use him, the better an unlock price he'll give me so lets hope tescos offer some new phones with extra points in september.

It doesn't give me the option of ordering mobile phones in Groceries on my pc - it must depend upon where you live.

The 750 pointer just refused to work on my account, despite the code having been 'banked' a week ago. First time this has ever happened, not sure why. Upside is that I was able to junk some of the stuff in my basket that I didn't actually need but had only put in to get to £50 ....!
