Supermarket vouchers: free money or is it?

[Jeddo]

Am I being dense or is Tesco's recent change to their voucher scheme just a wheeze?

It used to be that you earned points on your expenditure and these points gave you cash discounts on subsequent purchases. Now, it seems that your points earn you vouchers that can earn you more points that can earn you vouchers than can earn you more points...

Erm...that's just points for points sake. Surely you must be able to redeem these points against something. The Nectar card allows you to accrue points that can be redeemed against your shopping every now and again.

There must be more to it than just points collection....Tesco aren't that daft!!

Seems I was being dense... They do give cash discount coupons as well as bonus points vouchers :-)
