Me too - it took just one day to be credited to my FF account.

I know, it'd be a real wrench for me to drop Waitrose in favour of Tesco :( .

I can see a reason for despising Tesco, because of their seemingly unstoppable march to world domination. n(

But, as others pointed out in the now infamous Facebook thread, a box of Kellogg's Cornflakes or a jar of Nescafe tastes the same whichever shop you buy if from. 8D

Did I say I despised Tesco, erm no v( .

A tin of HP beans may cost the same, however I find the service to be leagues ahead, I like the Quick Scan service, and find the choice of some top end products to be wider.

I had to take a look now that you mention it ... seems like a bit of sparring (would love to see the deleted posts) ... perhaps a bit of that has leaked here too :w

Finally got a mailer from VS about this.

My reading is that once you sign up then all your club card points get transferred to VS FC and don't stay in your Tesco Account. Is that correct?

I don't have a club card (no tesco near Tonty Towers apart from a garage and the big one is not in walking distance) but if I did sign up and buy something would I get the 1,000 miles even if I never used the account again? (yes I admit it I am miles whoring a bit!)

Only if you "Auto Opt In". Alternatively you can continue to wait for the card points statement and attached Clubcard vouchers then trade in to the value you wish;

"Choose the value of vouchers you would like to exchange and click 'add to basket'"

Also, even with the "Auto Opt In" I think the card points will only get transferred on the statement date, which is every 3 months. This could prove significant if were attempting to accumulate points / miles for a particular trip.

Seems an ok deal, never really use the club card points so signed up for the miles even though wont be many as only really buy diesel at Tesco! Every little helps as they say - credit those 1,000 bonus miles :)

Well it looks like I've found something useful for all those point I'd collected from EON. My gas/electric is with EON who do clubcard points. I've now set these up to automatically convert to FC miles. Happy days.

Has anyone who enrolled for the Auto Opt in for FC miles with Tesco received the 1000 mile bonus yet? My 1st tranche of clubcard vouchers have been automatically converted and the miles are in my FC account, but there is no sign of the opt in bonus.

I'm sure I read somewhere that with any bonus miles, it will take up to 28 days for them to be credited to your account after the original ones are added.

Copy of email response from Tesco received this morning:-

Thank you for your email.

I can confirm that the 1000 bonus miles are being credited by Virgin as this is their promotion.

As far as we are aware these will be added by Virgin after the promotion ends on the 29th February.

If you have any further queries, please feel free to call us on 0808 100 0707. Mon - Fri 9.00-20.00 or Sat 9.00-17.00.

Kind regards,
