Question about Tesco Clubcard Deals Vouchers for MFI

you can use these deal vouchers but only once they have been converted by the owner of the clubcard vouchers.

FYI:
We are doing the same at the moment. We contacted MFI and asked if we could use these vouchers against sale items. This is allowed and there is also no limit to the amount of vouchers you can use.

We have already bought from MFI with deal vouchers. We bought £120 of kitchen chairs which were in the 'sale' with just £30 of points :j . We're now saving up our points for a new sofa, which we should have enough by next month.

When you order your deal vouchers order them in a variety of values because YOU WILL NOT GET CHANGE. I seem to remember we had to pay cash for the delivery charge - but don't quote me on that.

Now I've used Deals I wouldn't go back to spending my points in Tesco stores.

I am buying a new kitchen from MFI. Since MFI give Tesco Clubcard points on purchases I will make use of that. However, I am more interested in the use of Clubcard Deals MFI vouchers which I understand are issued as 4x the value of your Clubcard points. So if I send in £50 of Clubcard vouchers with the appropriate form to Tesco Clubcard, I should get £200 of MFI vouchers back from them.

Here is my question:

Clubcard points are linked to an individual's own card and cannot be used by anyone else. However, I gather from other threads about people reselling them on ebay, that once converted to deals vouchers, they are no longer linked to the original clubcard holder. Is this definitely true? The reason I ask is that my mother has loads of Clubcard vouchers that she doesn't need. The same applies to a friend who no longer shops at Tesco. They are willing to convert their leftover Clubcard vouchers to MFI vouchers for me to put towards my kitchen if I would then be able to use them.

If anyone knows the answer to the above, I'd be grateful.

Thanks.

Hi
It does say on the vouchers that they are non-transferrable BUT ebayers sell their vouchers on ebay. I have actually sent an application off for my vouchers to be converted to Deals and also enclosed a clubcard voucher in my mothers name. I received my deals vouchers with no problems at all.

There are a few rules with regard to MFI deals tokens though.

Clubcard vouchers are valid for two years but once they are converted to deals they are only valid for 6 months.

If you look on the Tesco website, all the deals have different codes. Some start with S, some start with P . The P ones are when you fully pay for something and are then only valid for that one deal eg.,RAC breakdown cover.
The S ones, even if you apply for MFI and then change your mind, you can then use the deal token anywhere else that is also an S code because it doesnt actually say MFI on the token when you get it.

The other big thing to remember to anyone who is saving for something big in MFI is that they can and will only accept a maximum of 15 tokens in one transaction. I ordered MFI ones and it did say this in the small print.
The tokens come in £5, £10, £40, £60 or £100. Obviously, if you've got 15 tokens at £10 each, this wont go far if you're buying a kitchen!
you need to wait and then apply for them all at the same time.

Members of my family aren't interested in the deals but do shop in Tesco so I buy their vouchers off them at their face value! That way, they're not losing out by giving them away and I'm gaining because they are worth 4 times as much!

The only other thing that might happen is this....I bought a bed from MFI totally with clubcard deals tokens. ( £320 deals tokens after sending in £80 clubcard vouchers). I'll cut a long story short but the bed had to be returned because it was a lot wider than their advertised width. The refund, couldnt come back to me because I had paid with clubcard tokens!!! I phoned tesco and they said that the points go back onto the clubcard account. I was lucky, my £80 of vouchers were all mine but if they were made up of friends and family they would get the points back and not me! I have got a lot of vouchers here that I have bought from friends/family and also ebay. I am going to buy a 3 piece suite so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I wont have to send it back!

Hope this has helped someone!!!

Best wishes,

Jo

Do MFI enforce this 15 voucher limit on Deals vouchers?

I'm asking because that effectively means the most you can actually save is £1500 which is only £375 of Tesco vouchers and I've got nearly 5 times that amount.

For something like a new kitchen I wonder if they'd split the sale into multiple transactions so I can use additional deals vouchers.
