Tesco removes 20M items of plastic from Christmas range

For a 1% return? Hardly worth it.

As for the app, I don't want my phone polluted with even more crap. If I had a corporate loyalty app for every shop I wanted to go in, I'd have a hundred apps, a hundred data collection problems and a flat battery. Instead I have one called Apple Pay which works everywhere..

I'd argue 1% isn't so bad in itself, but it works out to far more than that using the various bonuses and vouchers etc.

Personally I find the Sainsbury's scheme (Nectar) better overall, however. All the "vouchers" that multiply your points are applied automatically through the app, rather than having to goof around with scanning barcodes as in the Tesco app.

I haven't worked out my exact spend at Sainsbury's this year, but it was probably less than £1000. From that I had enough nectar points to buy £100 worth of wines in a recent promotion, and I still have plenty left over... (points, that is. Most of the wine is gone, haha)

For what it's worth, you can install the Clubcard app, add your Clubcard to Apple Pay from within the app, then uninstall it and the card will stay in Apple Pay.
