I had a coupon in my clubcard statement for 200 points if I spend £10 on baby or toddler clothing - does anyone know if it will work on other clothing? my toddler is very tall so he's wearing clothes from their older range, not the toddler range.

If anyone else has this, just thought I would mention that it worked today when I bought a £10 coat for age 5. There was 20% off too so I only paid £8.

Check out the Clubaced site for all the ways to earn points, there are lots of ways like energy suppliers etc.

As a whole, I don't think redeeming holiday vouchers are a good way to spend Clubcard Deals. This is because you have to book directly with the holiday companies who often charge you full brochure price when you are redeeming. For example, the cruises with Ocean Village and P&O can only be paid for in vouchers based on the FULL BROCHURE price. Very often, you can get a much better deal by going through a travel agent. Therefore, it is wiser to spend the vouchers on other deals.

Yes I do agree with that in principle. However what about people like me who, to be honest, probably couldn't have a holiday unless Mr. Tesco paid for it.

I understand that you can get a much cheaper deal when you factor in the discounts etc associated with NOT paying with Deals, but surely if you have enough Deal tokens to pay for a holiday you are getting a free holiday?

Thanks to Tesco Deals we have had several weekend trips to London etc and a week in Dorset (plus 3 big days out whilst we were there) all paid for entirely with Deals - and we are now hoping to go to France next year with the £500 in Deals we already have, something we simply couldn't afford to do otherwise.

I see what you mean, but sometimes the clubcard deal is a free day out when you couldn't actually afford the cash to go using some other form of discount. I've used deals to get into thomas land this year, even though we could have got in on BOGOF with the cereal packet zoo vouchers. Free was better than BOGOF for us, because we couldn't afford the BOGOF.

We spend all of our deals on theme parks throughout the year, nothing else really appeals, not if it's instead of going to a theme park.

It's fine if the points you have you would have got anyway, but sometimes I have to think when I see a points voucher for 'buy this and get points' - if I wasn't going to buy it anyway then sometimes it really isn't worth 4x the points in deals, often it's only worth twice as much because the deals I buy are only worth twice as much if they could have been paid for with BOGOF anyway.

I got some nappy coupons recently, but my boy is out of nappies now. I thought about buying them anyway just for the points, but stopped myself because the points would have been spent on thomas land and the bogof is still valid so it's not worth the spend.

Earlier this week I bought some euros at tescos.(Best rate in town.) To my surprise because I bought more than £250's worth I got Tesco points as well!

It depends how much you have in vouchers - we've used vouchers for two holidays with Virgin that we wouldn't otherwise have been able to afford. Both times we got nearly 1/3 off the price of the holiday.
I doubt any travel agent could have got us that discount in peak school holiday time!

we booked a holiday next year with Camping Life & because we booked very early, we did get the early booking discount even though we paid for the whole holiday with Tesco vouchers. and this is for peak time August in summer holidays too! So it cost us less in clubcard points than last year, same company, same spec, different site. So sometimes it does still make it worth it!
