Tesco says Every Little Helps - but it doesnt.
19 Answers
If you pop into Tesco for an item less than a £1, you dont earn any points. I often nip in for my newspaper or a choc bar but if its less than £1, they dont take my Tesco card. So, Every Little Doesnt help! Anyone else noticed that?

There system adds up your TOTAL spending (even if was only a few pence at a time) during the relevant period and then calculates the relevant dividend payout. Further, Tesco normally gives 1 point (= 1p) per pound spent, whereas our local Co-op's dividend is 2.5p per pound spent.

I wasn't knocking them, Elvis.
Up until recently (when they decide to get rid of 'relief' drivers) I was working most of the time, for a Ford main dealership, delivering car parts. I found it really frustrating that the company's fuel cards were only valid at Shell filling stations, so that I couldn't get my Tesco Clubcard points :-(

LOL @ Lilsecret ;-)
Elvis:
Shell does actually give free fuel vouchers, based upon points collected. It works out at 0.5p of free fuel per 1 litre purchased, with the rate doubling for each litre purchased after the first 200 in any month.
That system means that, as fuel prices rise, the value of the card drops. e.g. it doesn't matter whether 1 litre of fuel costs £1 or £2, you still only get 0.5p of free fuel back (unless you've already bought more than 200 litres in that month).
I'd much rather have been able to go to Tesco!

When the Coop gave up the dividend they introduced blue stamps as mentioned (worth 0.3p each). I also remember Green Shield stamps from the 70s and early 80s. There used to be a store in Newcastle which dealt solely with the redemption of Green Shield stamps plus cigarette coupons from Embassy, Player's No 6 and Kensitas. Remember them?
Either Imhotep or Imhotep's Mum seems to have got a little confused somewhere along the line.
Cooperative Society's used to give 'dividends', based upon the total spend during a specified period. Many Societies switched to using dividend stamps, which generally paid a far lower percentage because of the administrative costs. However they were completely separate from Green Shield stamps, which were issued by garages and convenience stores (among others). Their catalogue offered apparently wonderful gifts which could be obtained just by collecting the stamps. The problem was that you needed to spend a lot of money to get the necessary number of stamps.
For example, back in the 1960s, spending £32 (which was more than 5 times my first basic weekly wage in 1968) could get you a brush and comb set!!!

Oh well, Chris. You seem to know more on this matter than myself mate.
I just had this thought in my head about my mum saving some type of stamps that she used to do many years ago.So, sorry if I was a bit on the vague side of things!!
Anyway, I'm feeling a tad tired now. So I will bid you all a fond farewell.
Night,night!!!
In the meantime take a look at this.....it's quite titillating!!!! Ahem....lol ;)
