    I can't seem to find this information anywhere - if you don't have enough vouchers, can you pay part cash?

    So, if I want 4 x £31.25 but only have £15 worth of vouchers, do I send them a cheque along with the form for the additional £110. Sorry I might be being really stupid - but I've had a long day!

    no, for the merlin pass, you have to pay in full with tesco vouchers - there is no cash option, other than buying it through the normal routes at full price

  • If you wanted 4 passes and you had £62.50 in ClubCard points, for example, you could order two passes from ClubCard with your ClubCard points, then pay £300 for the other two:

    Would still work out cheaper than a family pass at full price (£385).
    Thanks to all who post constructively.

    To get £31.50 in clubcard vouchers you need to have spent £3150!!! Haha I cant even spend that much in a year. I guess if you took advantage of all their promotions it may be possible.

    In theory yes, but it is easier than that for the points to add up - in the 10 years we have been shopping at Tesco's we have had Annual Passes almost each year, plus a free £5k kitchen from when they were doing MFI vouchers. We use a Tesco Credit Card for everything and pay it off at the end of the month - we average about £40 worth of deals each quarter, worth £160 in deals, just for doing out shopping and buying petrol, but some manage a LOT more!

    Someone help me here please!

    I went to order the merlin passes (2 of them) I have £70.50 in vouchers but some run out at the end of this month.

    I dont have enough at the current price £37.50... if i send them in do you think they will honor it at £31.50? and should I send them recorded delivery?

    Thanks MSE'rs :j

    Thank you! I was gutted when I saw they'd put the price up. I'd saved £32! :(
