    Hiya Rachie B
    yes i went to egypt at Xmas on clubcard vouchers only catch is you pay FULL BROCHURE price no discounts but we went on a £2000+ holiday cost about £700 pound thanx to the lovely beef promo if you need proper(sober) advice brylomarha is your best bet.

    Awgh, you made me go all warm and cuddly inside!

    Rachie B- in response to your "beef" question...last year Tesco ran a promo where you spent £1.95 on Birds Eye beef and got £6 off your holiday (in deals tokens). I and a few others went a bit loopy on this and I got my £3300 holiday to New Zealand for £1000 in beef...

    We're waiting in anticipation to see what deal they do this summer...

    i have been on 2 holidays with clubcard deals. i think you have to be able to pay for most or all the holiday to make it work. the first was with premier hols to usa. san fran -la and las vegas. the holiday was £2260 and we had £1300 in vouchers saved over 2 years.i think you need to save for as long as you can.the second last year was to nyc-cape cod-boston. we were able to cover the cost of the holiday £2400.we are saving for usa next year again.
    i use my tesco finance card for everything i buy and pay it off each month this helps to boost the points and i try to use all the extra point bonuses aswell.
    you get the free extra nights if available in the brochure but with these companies you don't get any discounts as you are using sceduled flights but try to book as soon as possible. i usually book as soon as i get my feb vouchers.
    hope this helps
