Alternative Christmas club

We have a Nectar Amex card which gives us Nectar points. We use it for everything that will take Amex (fuel, food, railway tickets, cinema, most restaurants, hotels for work)and we pay it off every month. (They don't get a penny of interest, and no fee for the card)
So we get LOADS of Nectar points, especially as we shop in the famous orange supermarket that gives Nectar points.
The year before last we bought enough food for our son's 18th party on Nectar points - cost us next to nothing. Last year we bought all the relative's Christmas presents AND all our Christmas food - for 82p. Yes - the grand total of 82p!!!:j

    we collect tesco points , we have a tesco credit card and have just switched over to eon gas and electric through tescos so we are collecting points every time we spend
    we want to go away for a weekend break , looking up the travel lodge prices it was going to cost us £60 in cash
    for £63.50 in tesco points ( as they are worth 4 times the amount if you spend them on deals !! ) we can stay in a VERY posh hotel
    the craft show we want to go to is going to cost us £5 in tesco vouchers and while we're there we want to go to the chocolate factory which is going to cost us just over £10 in tesco vouchers
    we're well happy !!
