The midnight trick has stopped working for me, is there a new method anyone is aware of? Thanks

Vulnerable and delivery pass holders get to see an extra week of slots and therefore can book them first

I thought everyone could see 3 weeks ahead? I could before being added to the vulnerable list and still only see 3 so I dont think that's right.

Everyone can see 3 weeks ahead. Delivery pass holders now see 4 weeks ahead.

Tesco slots available now, just booked one for next week (London)

Some people can definitely see four weeks (i can’t). I think this has been a recent change.

If I have got it right, I think if you already have one booked or have booked in the last week then you just won’t see any slots showing as available so this isn’t that helpful for everyone.

I cannot see any tweets about them not releasing slots at midnight anymore?

TheGreatWave · 25/04/2020 09:11

Sainsbury's are only showing a week at a time for delivery pass holders, there is no rhyme or reason as to when slots are available for delivery pass holders.

RiftGibbon · 25/04/2020 09:11

Seem to be random releases around my way. No click and collect to be had at all but delivery slots crop up reasonably often - but you have to be persistent.

Mustbetimeforachange · 25/04/2020 09:14

Yep, random here. I have a priority one for 7th May, logged in at 8am this morning & there were both priority & regular ones for Tuesday & Wednesday this coming week.

Fairylillie · 25/04/2020 09:19

For the first time ever, the app is showing a whole week of slots for my area right now!

Spamellahamella · 25/04/2020 09:24

I still had the queue last night at midnight as if it was normal. Got through at six minutes past and nothing was available. I've tried at various times in the day and not had anything.

hippoherostandinghere · 25/04/2020 09:25

They seem to release them at random times, you have to keep checking. I went on at 8am and there were slots every day for the next week. I've been lucky enough to get one every week by just checking at random times. If you have a slot booked you won't be able to get another slot until after it's delivered though.

EasterIssland · 25/04/2020 09:27

I got a delivery last Thursday and booked another one this morning for this Thursday coming.
I couldn’t see any slots yesterday but this morning there were loads for my area

PinkSpring · 25/04/2020 09:29

@hippoherostandinghere that can't be correct as I booked a slot last night for end of May and have deliveries each week so it's not stopping you booking slots until the last delivery is made.

I don't get the system though, I can see until end of May yet my parents can only see up to mid May and our shop comes from the same store

Murinae · 25/04/2020 09:32

So does anyone know if it is now one slot a week or one booked slot in total and when do new ones show? A week after you last booked one or when? I have a delivery saver and last slot I have booked is Tuesday 19th May which I booked on Tuesday (I think!).

Mustbetimeforachange · 25/04/2020 09:34

I think if you have one booked you can't have another booked inside a week. As mentioned above, I already had one booked for May 7th & have just been able to book one for April 29th. These are priority slots due to shielding.

Myfriendanxiety · 25/04/2020 09:35

I looked at 8am this morning and there were lots available for this week- as early as tomorrow.

NoddingTulip · 25/04/2020 09:46

I managed to get one for a lady in our village at 7.40 this morning, there were loads of delivery slots for this week. But when I checked yesterday (several times) there was nothing!
This is the 3rd time I've managed to get one for her(well it's actually for 3 people in the village but we get one big delivery and pass it round rather than take up 3 slots), have checked loads of other times, but early sat morning seems to be the winner in my area.

IWasThereToo · 25/04/2020 09:59

I've noticed that they block the whole week if you have a booked slot, which is a pain if you want to change days as it remains hidden even though you'd be giving up your slot to get a different day that week!

I also noticed that tesco now release them at different times of the day. But I'm in the priority group so wasn't sure if that's why.

Bubblysqueak · 25/04/2020 10:09

I've been checking at random times and managed to get a slot yesterday at 4pm for lunch time today.

Itwasntme1 · 25/04/2020 10:30

I have been using click and collect for ten years. Staying up to midnight every night but slots are gone within one or two minutes. It’s impossible.

I am Irrationally annoyed that customer loyalty means so little.

Happy for people in vulnerable groups to have priority. But all these Johnny come lately folk who aren’t in the vulnerable group should join the queue after existing customers😊.

While I am not in the vulnerable group, I have been ill with pleurisy and a lung infection for a while now and really don’t want to go into a supermarket.

Mustbetimeforachange · 25/04/2020 11:05

We are long standing customers & couldn't get a slot until we got out on the vulnerable list. You do have to login at random times. There were both priority & non priority for Tuesday & Wednesday here this morning.

Mustbetimeforachange · 25/04/2020 11:05

put

Tonemeth · 25/04/2020 11:33

Yeah you dont seem to be able to get more than one in a week (good!).

I take it the delivery saver is an attempt to give people with some loyalty a better chance at getting one? I cant get worked up about that to be honest, I think their system now it's working is working well.

NoSoapAndGory · 25/04/2020 11:39

I've just finally managed to get a Tesco click & collect for 3 weeks time.

It's still a max of 80 items though which is really a shame. I need to use this rarity to get as much in as I can so we don't have to go out for at least a couple of weeks after.

Carrie7469 · 25/04/2020 11:49

I've checked just now and my local Tesco had loads of slots from tomorrow onwards
