Tesco Credit Card Review

The Tesco credit card is administered through Tesco club stores, a store similar to Costco or Sam's Club located in the UK. Using the Tesco card, you can accumulate points that can be exchanged for vouchers at the Tesco club store, at Tesco online, or at Tesco petrol stations. Club vouchers can also be exchanged for airline miles. Another portion of the program allows you to exchange the points for Clubcard rewards. Using the points in this way can as much as quadruple their overall value, providing a great bargain for card users. Points are accumulated whenever you use the card, and additional points are added for purchases made within the Tesco family of companies.

Tesco provides various types of protection for your Tesco credit card. This includes protection in case you are unable to pay your card, protection for lost or stolen cards, and protection against identity theft. You can also receive coverage for documents such as passports, as well as cash advances if necessary--enough to protect up to four members of a single family. Aimed largely at those traveling abroad, these features are underwritten by ACP European Group, Ltd. Interest rates are fairly reasonable compared to other similar cards, and you can apply for the card online, as well as managing your account.

The website for the Tesco credit card provides numerous resources, including information about your card, about credit in general, and about how to make the most of your Tesco card and the points you receive by using the card. Judicious use of a Tesco card can help you make your money stretch a bit farther. If you are a member of a Tesco club store, this credit card could give you a great option to help manage your overall finances and get a bit more value out of the money you spend.
