Tesco gift cards

I have been given 2x£50 Tesco gift cards. Can anyone suggest the most economical way to use them. e.g. clubcard deals?

    As they are gift cards, you can only spend them in store. I am not even sure you can use them online but I haven't looked. You can only use Clubcard points to obtain Clubcard deals.

    You can maximise the points you get by buying things that come with extra points if you can find any and you want the goods. Otherwise, you will get 100 points which converts to £4 in deals as long as you use a clubcard when you make the purchase/s.

    I know it's not point related, but if you buy reduced stuff, like for presents or for next Christmas you are getting more for your £100.

    The lights/decorations/cards and gift wrap/tags have all been reduced quite a lot if you can find any left.

    All the gift items are now half price as well.

    Dont know if this helps.

    On the Tesco website it says

    What can Gift cards be used to buy?
    Gift cards can be used as payment for anything in our UK or Isle of Man shops. They can also be used online to pay for flowers, CDs, DVDs, and books.

    Might be worth using some coupons for books, dvds and cds etc in the discount thread and buying pressies for birthdays etc.

    Thanks for the replies. I thought I would use them towards a digital camera, the annoying thing is the one I fancy is £150 in tescos but only £112 in ebuyer!
