He he. If you think back, you will realise that this is what has ALWAYS happened. Don't you remember when Mars bars used to cost 10p? For years they were unwilling to change the price so instead they downsized the portion size. Unfortunately those are the rules of the game for marketers as we don't wish to change perceived "price points" too much. E.g. changing the price of a Tesco Finest ready meal from £3.99 to £4.25 would likely lead to a much bigger drop in revenues and ultimately bottom-line results than dropping the portion size from 350g to 330g.

From paidtoshop:
500 points when you spent £20 on books. XX-GF3H. Valid unitl 5th April.
Not sure if this is targetted or no .... you might get it in your mailing anyway. Don't forget quidco as well!

In my local Tesco today they were offering 250 points on your Clubcard if you used Tesco to top up your mobile with a minimum of £20.
ETA: Vodaphone only today.

Got the statement on one of my smaller accts today. There were 4 points coupons totalling 100pts. So this does seem to hint that points coupons were not totally ditched in favour of MOC, perhaps just a temp lull and they'll start to flow back. ^

My statement arrived today. No points, just 6 x 25p off coupons. Brilliant. 
I feel like the next statement is make or break time; if there are no decent point earning vouchers -- hell, even decent money off coupons would be nice! -- then I'll most likely stop bothering.

OT, but when I try to access the champane and wine offers section, I get this error message:

Has anyone else had this problem?

Interesting to see Tesco taking out half page ads in a few of the broadsheets over the weekend to extol the virtues of using your Clubcard points for holidays (e.g. £10 of Clubcard vouchers = £40 of holiday).
Given the dearth of earning opportunities at the moment, and the shift to money off vouchers in the mailings, it's good to see they've still got some focus on Clubcard.....

Hi Folks,
Well two of my mailings arrived today and between them 225pts on things that we will actually use so not so bad. I hope the other two are pretty good as well.
I have some trips coming upto to Liverpool and Birmingham and if I dont take the train then I will earn a decent amount of points from the fuel.
Regards
J

Mine will hit the mat shortly I expect. My worst quarter ever with only 5k over two accounts. Still, as we say here in this part of Scotland, 12k BA miles is "better than a boot in the baws"!!

6 vouchers for 25 points each, so good for the miles.
They do seem to think I like buying salad however.... something very strange there.

. Then again I just bought something off of eBay and done myself out of 10 BA Air Miles aarghhhhhhh.Saying that there are some good things around at the moment like the various Top Up points (both wife and daughter on Tesco Mobile), will even buy a couple of till spits off eBay as it means it will cost me about £10 for 500pts.
Also the car maintenance is back with 1000pts another nice 2400. Might sign up the wifes car to that one as her cars out of warranty.
Was going to sign her up for the eDiets but not that brave enough...dont like getting my "baws" kicked.
Then there is the fuel. So basically within a few weeks I could easily have about 3k of points or 7200 BA Air Miles.
So its not that hard if you need to spend the money on these things.
Anyway the challenge is on....
