    and even if I did, I can never find anything in the Clubcard Deals that I want
    There are lots of restaurants you can use these in, plus lots of days out. Surely there must be something you do that requires vouchers??
    none of this wine in our local store though - enough space on shelf for 6 bottles of each, and it was gone!

    Tesco in Dereham (Norfolk) last night had plenty of the Tagus Creek wine (in 3 different places on the shop floor), so if anyone is out that way and wants more...
    It's the £5.49 one with an extra 100 points per bottle.
    I bought my 6 and would have got more, but thought I'd better get some groceries with my grocery money this week!!

    please forgive me, I'm also having trouble with this,
    I cant work out how the 900 points change into 3600 points. I'm under the impression that the points are only worth 4 times the amount due to the fact that deals are sold so cheap. In which case 900 points would only be worth £9. still nice as I'm saving for merlin passes but not quite the £36 that could buy me one anyway. please help

    The confusion is down to Merlin passes being "Buy in full". They have already been reduced in price from the standard £150 price, to £37.50. You don't quadruple as they're already reduced to a quarter of the price. So you need to save an actual £37.50 in CC vouchers for each pass- I'm now on the same mission myself- it seems more achievable with the extra points!

    However, when saving for deals that are not "buy in full"- such as the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard entry, if you had say £5 in points, you would convert that to £20 in deals tokens, and pay the rest at the door.

    HTH

  • Just picked up another 14 bottles or Torres white. Used £30.00 vouchers doubled up to £60.00. Purchased £83.72 - 25% = £ 62.93 - £60.00 wine vouchers = £2.79 Paid and a total of 2162 points on my next CC statement

    Total CC points this quarter 13500:j:rotfl::T

    Hi Thanks for that my local store had none left but I managed to order some online. Whilst there I got some Tagus Creek red though (Shiraz and Trincadeira grape which is a really nice fruity red) which had 100 extra points off and I bought six so got my 25% off as well. :TMany Thanks Deb

    Just got my delivery and got 25% off and points as well (150 per bottle) Yipee lots of wine for me :o)

    Guys I've done this online and the 25% isn't showing up yet...

    I'm on the payment page, and I event ried changing the delivery to Sunday.

    Is it because I used an XX code?

    Edit - tried Aldershot, they still have some Cava, even after I went there and bought 12 bottles! :)
    Do you need it? Yep. Really? Yes! How have you managed for the last 28 years without it? Erm....
