    I ordered £150 worth of vouchers and they came in multiples of £10.


    Kids had a good day out today. They went to the cinema with their cousins and got the tickets on 2 for 1 courtesy of Orange and a takeaway from Pizza Hut courtesy of Tesco. All in all cost me £8
  • We used our vouchers last night. We played dumb regarding the drinks and they happily took the vouchers for the whole bill ;)

    Last week Purley Way accepted them but Crawley yesterday refused them.
    I see that on the Tesco Terms it says nothing about 'buffet' however on the other
    Pizza Hut 50% off deal it says buffet and deals excluded.
    I have spoken to the manager today and have emailed HO
    Any information appreciated
  • was gonna ask the same thing re buffet deals! also, anyone know if you can the 50% off and pay the other 50% with deals? cheeky i know, but u gotta ask!

    I work at Pizza Hut as a manager in an HSR (Home Service Restaurant) so I thought I would clear things up:

    1. We only accept the Deals vouchers, not a clubcard voucher.

    2. Minimum spend must be £20.

    3. The vouchers are only worth 50% of their face value to us - £20 of vouchers represents £10 of cash to us. As a result, we will NOT accept vouchers on top of meal deals or offers like our Buy One Get One Half Price. This sounds unfair, but if you think about it, if you try to use the vouchers to pay for a £20 meal deal, you are already saving about £8 or so by going for the meal deal. If we accepted the deals vouchers as payment for that then we would effectively be selling £28 worth of pizza for £10 - basically a 65% discount. Staff only get 50%, so there is no way Pizza Hut would allow that. I got my balls busted by our restaurant manager by giving a 40% discount to a large order for a wedding party, so you can imagine the vein that would throb on the CEO's forehead if he learnt that we were giving pizza away for 65% of its value.

    4. Because drinks are not high profit items (the way garlic bread is - each slice of garlic bread costs us around 4p, but we sell 4 slices for £1.99), we won't accept clubcard deals vouchers as payments for drinks. I don't know if this is the same for ice cream - the crib sheet we have stuck up in the back doesn't mention anything about it but I imagine that again, as low profit items, we wouldn't be allowed to put them through on deals vouchers as (for example), each tub on Ben & Jerrys costs us £1.88, so as we sell them at £3.99 the 50% discount the deals vouchers effectively apply to our sales would render them virtually profitless.

    5. No change will be given with the vouchers, so don't pay for £21 worth of stuff with £30 of vouchers.

    Hope this clears things up - personally, I don't think the vouchers are particularly worthwhile simply because we can't accept them in conjunction with any other offer. You will make a saving using them but it is not nearly as good as you think - two large italian pepperoni feasts selling at 11.49 each would normally cost you £17.23 with Buy One Get One Half Price, but if you try to pay with deals then you would have to pay the full price of 22.98 as we cannot apply any deals. That would come as a cost to you of £5 for £20 of vouchers and £2.98 to make £7.98 of actual cost. So, it is still £10 less than you would be paying normally, but you can make your clubcard vouchers do more for you than that by taking advantage of other offers which don't have such limitations on them.

    Hope this helped to clear things up!
  • We were in London last week and used our vouchers in The Strand and another (we just jumped off the bus when we saw the sign so don't know the address).
    No problems at either establishment. At The Strand we ordered meals, soft drinks and desserts and had no problems paying with the vouchers.
    Two days later we went to another and they said that we could not pay for alcohol with vouchers but soft drinks were ok. Again no problems when the bill came.
    At both places staff tried to persuade us to order 'menu deals' and we said we did not want to - they thought we were odd for not wanting to save more money!
