Advantages: The more you use the club the more you save. Disadvantages: Initially it seems expensive to join.

I joined after the club was recomended to me by a friend. Reading the comments they seem to be more about telephone sales than the club. Frankly I hate telemarketing. I made the mistake of answering a survey in exchange for £25.00 of vouchers and spend the next two months on the phone telling sales people that I didn't want a stair lift, double glazing etc..
I have been a member since 2002 and, over the past seven years, I have to the best of my recollection always saved considerably more than the cost of my membership.
Also since they introduced 100% cash back a couple of years ago, I can definitely say that my membership has been good value.
I check their wholesale offers on a regular basis and I do appreciate the weekly emails of special offers. (I recently purchased a 40" Samsung LCD TV through the club for £499. The best I could come up with using the Internet was £557)
They also do guarantee to save you money on items costing over £100.00.
I'm not saying that this club is right for everyone or that it is the best thing since sliced bread however for me I like to know that someone have taken the time to research my purchase and that I am paying the best price. I just don't have the time to do more than a cursory check online, and I certainly don't have the time to check the high street stores.
I’m glad that I joined and I will continue to be a member.
Advantages: None that I know of. Disadvantages: RUDE, PUSHY,AGGRESSIVE. DOESN'T LISTEN AND DOESN'T TAKE A HINT!!!!
...just answered my mobile to the most rude and pushy sales person I have ever had the misfortune to speak to. I am usually very good in dealing with these types of people and manage to get them off the phone almost straightawy. NOT THIS ONE!!! He was so pushy and persistant,, and has ALL THE ANSWERS...
A few times I tried to be rude to him to get him off the phone but he just wouldn't take a hint. He just WOULDN'T SHUT UP and let me get a word in ... ...in a different bank than the one he told me ,, then he wanted the banks sort code to take £1.00 out for 1 months free trail,,, oh yeah sure mate!!!!
He kept telling me my membership would be here by friday???? I didn't even agree to join.
He started going on aswell about how much I would be spending at Christmas,,,(He does not know how much I will be spending)and when I said NO,, I will not be buying christmas presents,, HE ABRUPTLY CUT ME OFF!!!!!!! ...

Review of The Money Club
Advantages: None Disadvantages: Where do I start???
...reluctant to join up but the sales rep insisted it would make my life better (why do I not learn??!) and he promised that we could cancel via the telephone rather than having to write in. Of course, it turned out not to be the case! It has proved impossible to get my money back, I was told to write in person, I did, twice! Guess what - they never received the letters. The main woman I dealthwith was stunningly unprofessional and probably the most ... ...people. Finally, the very professional office manager suggested I emailed (why oh why did they not suggest this in the 8th phone call out of 25???). The great thing about email ids that you can read receipt it, the downside is that they cab choose not to acknowledge the read receipt. So.....I have no idea what is happening now. I only wanted my £98 membership fee returned, but you know what...I am going to try and salvage my trial £1 fee also. These ...

Quick review of The Money Club
Upon registering, I too called them to find a cheap insurance quote. They provided said quote as a photocopied standard document and tried to steer me towards buying the most expensive policy without fully answering all the standard insurance questions - what's the excess, is my laptop insured etc etc. Needless to say, I didn't take out the policy and found much cheaper, more comphehensive cover elsewhere!
Upon cancelling my account with them, I called up and cancelled. A few months later, £120 is taken from my account by The Money Club. I call their line and my account is still open and cannot get a refund. It looks as though they palmed me off and then take my money - DO NOT TOUCH THEM! THEY LIE!!! ...

Quick review of The Money Club
I was contacted by the money club and after telling the telly sales person that I have been a member in the past and have had no real benifits he continued to persist with how good the service was. As I explained that I had been getting better deals online he cut me off which I though was very rude and was very anoyed with the way they go around trying to sign people up. I would no join them even if they paid me too!!! Most of the time you get better deals on line and they are not at all helpful and I think they need to teach there telesales marketing team some manners. ...

Advantages: none Disadvantages: refuse to listen when you say no to them.

Advantages: Fast Delivery, ease of use and great choice Disadvantages: No disadvantages experienced
Following receiving the Tecso Direct Catalogue from my local Tesco I thought I'd give it a go and have now ordered a number of items from it due to its low prices, items which are not available in stores and also its ease of delivery. I always have my items delivered to my local store so there is no delivery price. This usually takes about 2/3 days from ordering. I believe they have a very good returns policy too where you can take the item back to the store for a refund.Registering and ordering on line is just so simple. The checkout screen also allows you to use e-vouchers which can can either ger from using your clubcard and the points add up but more recently when you shop in store you get a voucher sometimes with your receipt either allowing you money off Tecso Direct or additional club card points. Really worth a look as it beats ...

Advantages: Stylish products at great prices Disadvantages: No home delivery as such
, & very good value for money. Aswell as large & small items of furniture, IKEA also sells kitchen & bedroom fitted furniture, & a huge range of smaller everyday essentials, from coathangers to crockery, & even has a pet section & a plant section. Quality tends to be hit & miss, but should you have a problem, everything has a minimum of a 1 year guarantee & can be returned (with a receipt) for either an exchange or refund.
The store does have a catalogue & a website, but delivery varies between stores. IKEA doesn't offer a delivery service as such, but local firms are often linked to the store & you can agree delivery with them at an additional cost.
The restaurant is also excellent value for money, serving drinks, snacks & hot meals. If you join the IKEA family club (free to join), then you'll also receive a free drink each time you ...

Advantages: 4 times value on the tesco website. Good bonus points every quarter Disadvantages: Expiry dates
Tesco clubcard is a good points based sysytem which rewards a penny per pound. That doesn't sound very much, but there are bonus points every three months such as 30 free points if you buy milk, or 10p off beans that come with your clubcard statement. If you join the many clubs on the tesco website, ie the wine club or the food club you get a quartelry magazine. This also has vouchers in for extra points or money off.
On the website there are clubcard deals that are worth up to 4 times the face value of the voucher. Theese can pay for hotel stays, days out at theme parks such as Alton towers. A very good system. The only thing that can take a while is waiting for your official clubcard, as initially you get a tempory payment card. Still Tesco wins on the loyalty scheme. One oter disadvantage is the expiration date of the vouchers. You ...
