Top 10 Tesco Rewards Discussion

There is a big snag with this Tesco Summer Clubcard Voucher Exchange. I got £31 in Tesco vouchers today and it seems you can only double up the £5 vouchers or top up smaller denominations to make £5! I didn't get any £5 ones! I got 1 x £10, 1 x £12 & 1 x £9. Thus I can get £5 doubled up out of each voucher OK, but the rest of each voucher has to be put back into my clubcard account and carried over until the next payout! That means £16 worth of vouchers has to be carried over back to my account. They could have given me my vouchers in multiples of £5, but that's not how it works! Tesco is not daft! It is worked out how much it is gong to cost Tesco by experts! Martin's review on this made it sound as if one could simply double up on each voucher! Not so!

Daisy Bell, Your £10 and £12 vouchers can be doubled up to 1 x £20 in 1 catagory or 2 x £10 in two different catagories, hence only £2 having to be rolled back to your account(if you use the £12 voucher). Hope I've explained that properly

We use our Tesco vouchers mostly for Hotel Breaks and Restaurant Vouchers. Agree with drkofglos that Best Western bookings are brilliant. We just get the vouchers and contact the booking people to find where and when they have availability. We can usually get a hotel somewhere we want to visit but, yes, you do have to book early. We're lucky that we can go away pretty much whenever we want (retired) and so far this year we have had one 2 night and two 3 night B&Bs in good hotels (check Tripadvisor first !) costing us £18. :T
Combine with restaurant vouchers and you've got a really cheap short break. We hadn't been to Cafe Rouge for ages but had a great meal at Cheshire Oaks thanks to Tesco vouchers. Only cost us £30 for a three course meal with aperitifs, wine and coffee for two.:beer:
I know none of it's 'free' as you pay in other ways but as Tesco is always cheaper for our shopping basket we well pleased.

The article says Redspottedhanky has a £1 delivery fee but this appears to be incorrect because they say on their website front page -

You won't be charged any credit or debit card fees nor will you be charged any booking fees. And, unless you need next day delivery, you won't be charged for the delivery of your ticket either.

and I have never been charged for 1st class delivery on the site.

I am getting more and more disappointed with Airmiles... I changed a lot at the special offer and now cannot spend them as they stopped flying to many places..
And the newish 50 miles for £2.50 is just ridiculous!! That means that going to zone 2 from anywhere but London you need £100 in Tesco vouchers, when you would be better off spending £100 in store and get Jet2 flights for less!!!:-)))
