No you don't and even if you did you wouldn't have a Clubcard price and another more expensive one for people without Clubcard. That's something they've nicked from the American chains, by the way - last time I was there, a lassie at the till in Safeway (I think) gave me a loyalty card using her own details as I obviously didn't have an address to fill one out with. Saved about 50% on the stuff I bought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure everyone knows this but the Clubcard was invented in order to pay off a blackmailer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's likely that they now encourage their use so they can flog the shopping patterns of millions of named customers to anyone prepared to pay. P.S. Clubcards came first, the scam/blackmail was to replace loads of them with ATM cards so they wouldn't know who collected the ransom. Didn't work. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesco_bomb_campaign Edited June 26, 2022 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
