tesco clubcard vouchers

[southeastastra]

what do you use yours on? i'm a bit annoyed as just realised you can double points for clothing and just bought ds tons of stuff!

what else can i use them on

You can use them at Tesco direct too. I got Mario Kart for the Wii and an extra remote and nunchuk using my vouchers.

Have just ordered Pizza Express vouchers and have Lego vouchers for next week.

I use them for Pizza Express, and will also probably be getting some Cineworld tickets (although they are "only" half price tickets, so I guess it would be more logical to stick with Pizza Express or other better value deals...I'm undecided). In the past I've used them at Johnson's dry cleaners and Blockbuster video.

The double points for clothing is very new though and I am sure it has only started from when the new clubcard brochure came out last week.

We have had a long weekend in London with ours at a 5* hotel, bought wine from the wine club (which is double x the worth of vouchers) been to pizza express a couple of times and we are going to a spa hotel this weekend and have just order some more pizza express vouchers to take with us, Good Food mag subscription.

Bellavita do you find ordering the hotel deals a faff?

Yes, the doubling up for Tesco purchases has only started in this latest batch. For clothes & wine it has to be done before Sep 30th.

Things like RAC membership & Eurotunnel are the best value, at 4x face value (but only if you were going to get them anyway).

we save ours up and use it towards a holiday ...we went to menorca 2 yrs ago....had a posh villa and own pool & hire car... and the clubcard vouchers covered over 1/2 of the cost - without the vouchers we would have not gone abroad.

to boost your points.... if you shop online... if you google 'tesco voucher codes'..you will find websites where codes are posted....like "extra 500 points when you spend £50" etc.... 500 points = £5= £20 of holiday vouchers.

we have used some this year to get the top level RAC breakdown service... excellent!

I've just doubled mine up for buying nappies and wipes.

The hotels thing is a bit of a faff, but well worth it - 4 x face-value of the vouchers.

We had a great time for free at the Hilton in Newport (near Cardiff) - has anyone got any other hotel recommendations as we want to do another freebie in the summer!

Does anyone know re doubling them up for nappies etc. If I have £7 worth, will I get £14 worth back or just multiples of £5? If I use £5 will they give me £2 one back as my voucher is for £7.
Does that even make sense?

Looks like multiples of £5

They will credit the points for the extra £2 back on to your clubcard & you'll get them again next time (or so they say) [cynic]

We just recieved ours and we have ordered tickts to Disney Princesses on Ice at the O2, tickets for Colchester zoo, and tickets for the sealife sanctuary.

Hoping to put the next lot towards a wii fit

Look at partner rewards here, cat (holidays,travel & weekend breaks)

Thanks Ponders, that'll do fine for me to get them next time, fingers crossed!

Oh dear, just realised I have enough vouchers for Boyzone. I will need to persuade a friend, it would be dh's idea of hell.

How can I change to the setting on my clubcard so I get the x4 deals raher than th instore vouchers?

Lady in shop said ring up but don't have a phone, has anyone done it online??

Also, those of you have have loads of points, do you buy everything at Tescos? How often do you shop there?

Yes, you can do it online, sammyk - you don't change a setting on your card, after you get your Clubcard vouchers you go on the Deals page, choose the deal you want & enter the long code on each voucher, then they'll send you the Deals tokens.

Most people with loads of points do all their shopping at Tesco AND have one of their credit cards from way back when they gave double points on every £ (they don't do that any more, I have a more recent one & basically you get 5 points for £4 of Tesco shopping or 1 point for £4 elsewhere, which we don't bother with. We do get most of our petrol from there though)

Also look out for bonus points deals. There was one recently which was highlighted by moneysavingexpert, where you had to go online on your mobile phone & register your clubcard number to buy some specific products; I ended up with over 1000 points from that (worth £40) just for buying some things I would have bought anyway

We use ours for trips to the zoo, and other days out with the kids, mostly. We also pay for drycleaning dh's work suits. And sometimes for meals out.

I have about £40 in vouchers, not sure what to do with them though. Just got another £5 one with my payslip as well but I only work in a Metro store and am pregnant so can't even buy alcohol! Decisions, decisions.

So if you have a tesco credit card and just pay the balance at end of each month you will get more points? SOunds good- not sure if

a) I would get a card
b) would trust myself with a card

but worth thinking about!

We shop there once a fortnight usually (tend to alternate with asda, and go there for petrol too. We have a big huge superstore so could buy lots!

Tesco also do tillspits for points, so the more you shop there the more likely you are to get some (although having said that our most recent ones have just been for money off which is not so useful)

But yes, if you get a card, & use it purely for Tesco shopping, & pay it off every month, you would end up with lots more points.

You could transfer the cash equivalent into a separate account after every shop to make sure you had the money at the right time - & in fact Tesco do an internet savings account, which is very good & does same-day transfers out, & they often offer bonus points when you open one of those, so you could keep that as your Tesco credit card payment account

Tesco Finance (their home & car insurance & car breakdown cover is worth getting a quote for as well plus you'd get points on those too)
