Clubcard

I don’t think Asda has a Club Card, or do they? Since I moved here, I’ve been shopping there, although I have seen the checkout lady scanning some people’s smartphones - I don’t know what that’s all about 😫

What do you mean by 'couldn't load up' do you mean on your phone? If so, I've done a screenshot of mine as you can't get a good signal in my local Tesco. I have also added to my phone wallet too.

Asda do rewards, not as good as club card deals. They used to be very good, but not so much now- you get cash rewards for buying certain items.

I think Aldi is the only supermarket that doesn’t have a loyalty scheme.

OP asks why we have to have them. The simple answer is that we don’t “have to”, no customer is obliged to join any loyalty scheme, for groceries, fuel or anything else.

I think all the major supermarkets apart from Aldi have some kind of loyalty card/app.

Farm foods doesn't have a loyalty card, it does have a savings card, which must be a nice little earner for them.

I’d have done without the points if there were goods I needed.

Yes I appreciate we don’t have to have one, but I don’t want to be paying top wack for my groceries.
More & more products are being added to ‘save with club card’.
I just feel sorry for the homeless who don’t have emails, or addresses to have one of these loyalty cards.
When I shop at Sainsburys I pass on my card so that the person in front can save a few quid, if they don’t have a card.

It’s not the points I am after, it’s paying £4 for say butter, rather £6.50.

I spent £49, & the young man let me put two £2 vouchers through 😊 I find the staff very friendly too.

My local Tesco have signs everywhere saying they do not accept screenshots for CC.

Good idea to add to phone wallet.

I also carry a physical CC, as I've got to take out my payment card anyway.

I usually have my plastic card for back up but didn’t have my handbag with me 🙄
