  • The Annual Pass Voucher from Tesco Clubcard usually comes with a blank order form to send away to recieve the pass and you can put any name and address on the form and they send you the pass usually within a week of sending the form away, I dont know what happens about redeeming the voucher at one of the parks but its probaby the same and you can put any name on it

    Hi we got our kids pass the other year for one of the other theme parks and they take the picture at the park, so unsure of buying of from E-bay?

    We use out tesco club card for most of big days out, tesco normaly send you different vouchers then you take them to where ever your going. We have used ours all over

    I've done it in the past but for the last year Alton towers have been making a note of the surname printed on the tesco voucher when you hand it in, and they say it's to make sure that when you apply for your pass (just inside the door to the theme park) that the surnames match up.

    I don't know what they'd do if the names didn't match though - probably wouldn't find out until the end of the day, and I bought my son's pass with my tesco vouchers and he has a different surname, so it doesn't seem to be too much of a problem.

    You don't provide ID when you buy your pass though, so you could always lie about your name. I was told last time that they'd be asking for my children's passports next time, to prove that my eldest isn't 12 yet, and that youngest isn't 4 yet.
