Lots complaining about having no Clubcard. Feel free to use mine.

  1. It is such a weird thing to complain about. If Tesco want your personal data they’ll just buy it from Meta or whatever social media company everyone signed up to. Failing that, the company that made their smart phone. Talk about worrying about a ship that sailed a long time ago.

  2. Sooner or later they will block this account.

    I wonder would someone smarter than me be able to figure out how they create their valid clubcard numbers and auto generate barcodes. One would presume it’s a fairly simple algorithm? I see most of the digits on this are the same as mine.

  3. >The Clubcard card, in whatever form, is not transferable, cannot be copied and can only be used by the member who is named and registered for the card. 

    Wonder how long it takes.

  4. Huh, would be great if someone made a little app that everyone could submit their card code to, then it randomises a submitted card when you pull it up, so it entirely fucks their data.

  5. People acting like tesco will send the Gestapo after op when they’ll probably just need to get a new card if it’s disabled

  6. I offered my younger brother one of my keyring ones, he said no, I told him enjoy paying €3 for pringles.

    Honestly if you join Tesco club card and you get 3 cards (main one and two keyring ones) give two to family or friends.

  7. Why are people complaining? Club cards have existed for years, and it costs nothing to sign up. Can literally use the app now, no card needed

  8. When I moved apartment I forgot my tesco password to change address so never did… few years went by and I finally sorted it. I had still been scanning my clubcard even tho I never got the vouchers.

    Anyway in the app you can see they had been redeemed and where they were redeemed. Some guy had been constantly opening them from my old mailbox, and oddly spending them really far away.. making me wonder if maybe it was the postman since it wasn’t the neatest tesco to my apartment

    I mean they put them in a bright tesco envelope, may aswell advertise money inside it

  9. Your cards gonna get flagged if it starts earning a ton of points at one from stores all over the country. I did this once as a cashier. I’d scan my own cards. I got caught. But in my defense they wanted us to increase the number of card swipes

  10. There was someone who did this in New York a long time ago before the system was smart enough to see how many people were using it. He provided the bar code and number in a template that fit printable labels, so anyone could use it. He used up give monthly updates about what his clone army bought that week. Like “this month we bought 18 cases of whiskey, 12 cases of Vodka, 75lbs of cheese. Oh and 60 bags of dog food, not sure what that was for, but obviously we going to have some fun”

    They changed the program at one point and allowed you to transfer the points into airline miles, and after telling people on the blog so if they wanted to stop using it they could, enough people continued to using it that he and his wife were able to fly to Hawaii or some other exotic destination.

  11. And now imagine Tesco HQ, with _that one_ software engineer looking at the data…

    “Sir, it’s impossible, he’s popping up EVERYWHERE! Just five minutes ago he swiped his clubcard in Galway, two minutes ago in Dublin, now he’s in Cork… Sir, what do we do?”

  12. Not from Ireland and they won’t let me get a card from Canada, so I’m saving this to click for my February trip.

    No, I don’t care if you’re pulling my leg
