They will give you change, though it is in Argos vouchers.
This is true.
there's just a set of offers each month. That's where I got 'spend £60 on your first online shop and get 2,400 (£12) nectar points' + the 60p for the spend. I also had a voucher for £12 off your first order so i used both. This was today. Another on today is buy Fairy washing up liquid and get 100 points. Ok it's only 50p but at 2 for £2 it's a decent return. They always have spend £100 get 400 (£2) plus the £1 on the spend. I only bother with those when I have a paper voucher for the same. I've used both together loads of times.

I recently received £7.50 from Tesco, so probably only got a few pence on the Clubcard itself. With Sainsbury's, it hovers between £3-£7 and I'll bank a fiver once every six weeks or so. I don't use Asda much (too many pushchairs in there for my liking), but do they have a loyalty card?
I have the Co-op's one too (Dividend Card) but I don't have a branch near me now so haven't used it in years.

I have 7800-ish points on my Costa card worth £78-ish.
Do I win an Internet cookie??

Yeah I've used them in Argos before but Amazon is normally cheaper for most things I want.
These loyalty card things are used by marketing bods to keep an eye on buying trends and whatnot and so they can target advertise to you. I have a card that I only ever use to buy completely random single items, for example in Wales we get charged 5p for a carrier bag, so I might buy a load of food at Tescos and only use the card for the purchase of the 5p carrier bag, I might do this for 5 or 6 times, then randomly just buy a tin of beans with this method in the futile hope it skews the 'marketing machine' up in some small way.
The targeted promotions by Tesco, where you get money off vouchers for things that you actually buy (or they think that you will) work very well. I'm all for it.
I have around £6 in Nectar points (all from fuel) and no idea how much I have in Clubcard points. Probably around £10.
Wow - Costa's loyalty scheme is probably the worst on the highstreet. You don't deserve a cookie, more a medal for enduring that much poor coffee.
It's better than starbucks, though!
In the last 5 years I have a massed approximately 7 quid in nectar points though I rarely shop at sainsburys. In that same period I've got about 3 grands worth of clubcard points (after converting them online) all from doing the normal weekly shop and running two cars on tesco petrol.
