Caravan club credit card

I have highlighted this thread to Admin to see if we can get an explanation.

There could be all sorts of reasons why they are not taking on more customers.

The Eu has reduced the amount the cards can charge retailers and other cards have restricted their benefits as a result. It has been suggested this could reduce the number or eliminate these  beneficial cards so this might be the problem here but we will have to wait and see,

This is the reason sited by Tesco as to why they have drastically cut the number of Tesco points they now give with their Tesco credit card.  I ordered a Tesco credit card last year just to get points - so far I haven't used it -it hardly seems worth the bother now.

I think that unless you shop at Tesco regularly, which we don't, it does put into doubt whether it remains worthwhile. I do tend to buy my fuel there. Also rather than giving you points on the total amount of spend it is per transaction. So spending £15.99 gets you one point!!! I think I will switch some of my shopping to my Partnership Card which still give one point per £2 spent and on a cumulative basis rather than per transaction as far as I can tell. Perhaps this is the same issue the Club is coming up against in that the rewards they can offer reduce so much that it is questionable whether it is viable?

I think you are absolutely right David.  I tend to pick up Tesco points by using our local Esso petrol station.  The only local Tesco we have are the small Tesco Express shops, so it is hardly worth it.  I suspect many of the Credit Cards with points will find ot increasing hard to maintain the level of rewards we have been used to.

Might be worth cashing in any vouchers you now have in case the points needed goes up.

Possibly a better answer to site night vouchers would be club gift vouchers which can be used as a simple money off at sites or at renewal and would not need adjustment for inflation.

Good thinking, just cashed mine in!

May have enough for a voucher  going to find out and if so, will cash points in too.

just had letter confirming end of caravan club card, its to be taken over by barclays, who are still going to give rewards but not a patch on site nights.
