No more free Pampers Hampers when you join Tesco's parenting club

[RedApple11]

Just an update, in case you've also recently joined Tesco's baby club. They had an offer on for a free Pampers Hamper. I think the voucher was given to me by the midwife as part of the Emma's Diary pack.

Tesco have now stopped this, claiming that Pampers don't have the hampers anymore. However, it's 2 months since I joined the club and I've only just heard.

Instead, they're offering a book of vouchers, which are £1 or £2 off here and there for different pampers packs.

This is really disappointing as you were supposed to receive money off vouchers as a member of the Tesco baby club anyway so the lack of a free hamper is rubbish. It was supposed to have some nice little bits in for mum too and, let's face it, everyone likes a freebee. That's why I joined

Just sharing this with you so you don't end up disappointed too.

For info, the Sainsbury baby club seems okay and their huggies babypack was nice enough. Likewise, the Boots free changing bag and mat when you join their club is ok. Not brilliant, but good as a freebee.

Just tried to contact the Forward Group, who sent the vouchers out on behalf of Tesco (and presumably manage the Tesco Baby and Toddler club), and they put me through to a voicemail, which had an automated message stating that no one checks the mailbox. I called them back and the receptionist said there's no one there who can take my call, did I want to leave my name and number!

Called Tesco helpline and they gave me another number. I tried that number and the lady took details of the issue and then said she didn't know how this would be followed up. She suggested writing in but didn't have contact details for the Tesco marketing dept. Fed up now and can't realy be bothered with following this up since the vouchers only work if I spend money so why on earth am I bothering?!!

Incidentally, the Forward Group's website makes a point of stating 1:100 ROI for Tesco. In marketing terms, this means that for every £1 Tesco spends on us mums for promotions, they get £100 back. Feeling a little like a cash cow so gonna take my £100 weekly shop elsewhere. www.theforwardgroup.com/#/tesco
