    Sorry after a lot of searching I found the answer:-

    "Your Vouchers are valid for 2 years - an expiry date is displayed on each Clubcard Voucher"
    Next question - If I exchange vouchers for BA airmiles, how long are they valid?

    Airmiles don't expire.

    Hi, im pretty new to this, however i find the cheapest and easiest way to boost your points is to look out for receipts left in trolleys, checkouts or just simply lying around, i have a tescos 2 mins up the road and nearlly everyday i find loads of unclaimed points, which then at customers services they just put them on my clubcard, which i then have converted in to airmiles, allready on 3327 points this quater,
    looking forward to a free holiday next year with the kids!
    hope this helps you guys boost your points.

    Following on from kk's warning on this - I do know of people who have had points removed, who've posted on here - one couple thought they had enough for their honeymoon to the Carribean or similar, so yes, be careful. Get more than one clubcard registered to your address - all with the same surname (the dog, the cat, the rabbit whoever!)

    Does anyone know whether Tesco recycle compatible ink cartridges? I have got some where the original ones are on the list of cartridges are accepted, but they are like the supermarket's own brand.

    BA Miles I think do expire, so it depends on which scheme you go for. From memory BA Miles expire either 2 or 3 years after you have taken a flight with BA, so if you fly regularly, you effectively keep renewing your miles.

    The Recycling Factory will only award points/donations for original branded or tesco compatible cartridges that are listed.

    If you need to know anymore just give me a shout. :j

    So if me(Allen) and my partner(Jones) want to book a holiday, we have to book them seperatley??

    Or do we just have to claim the deals seperatley and book an holiday together using our combined deals?

    Unfortunately I think you would have to book separately... I have tried to find the thread on here where it was discussed, but can't seem to find it...

    Basically I think your deals vouchers must have the same surname on them, so you might have to merge your accounts in order to achieve that, but that will then mean that you will only get one statement sent out, and only one lot of vouchers to go with it. To find out for sure just give Clubcard customer services a ring and ask what's the best way around it...

    I'll tell you what I've done though - my partner & I haven't got the same surname, apart from on our clubcard accounts. We have got one account each, both with my surname, so that we get 2 lots of vouchers, but they can be used for deals jointly. To achieve this, you would have to merge your existing accounts, and then open a new account in the same surname - hope this makes sense?
    I don't think I can hang on til Friday...

    Another money off deal instead of vouchers. I see a pattern emerging here


    Yes - I just got 4 £2.50 off £10 of fruit and veg - one for the next 4 weeks.

    Just to say thanks for the info re clubcard plus.Have only been back on this site because of the ICESAVE fiasco and thought I'd catch up on the threads relevant to me. Also applied for 2 internet savers - which will net us another 3000 points.
    Cheers again to all helpful posters

    I'm not sure this is right.

    I think there are plenty people on another site who have booked holidays using vouchers with different names. The importnat thing as far as i'm aware is that everyone named has to be travelling ie if you and your partner are booking together you can use both vouchers but you can't use the vouchers of someone who's not coming on the trip.

    From tesco clubcard site both Cosmos and Virgin state

    "Deal Token(s) may only be used by the Clubcard holder (whose name is printed on the Tokens) However there can be more than one named Token per booking as long as that person(s) is traveling too."
