I'm not sure its worth trading £50 for £100 worth perfume vouchers - surely it would make sense to convert £50 into £200 worth in deals???
I'm disappointed that Airmiles via CC are pretty worthless, ahh well it was worth thinking about!!!
You trade £50 for £100 worth of perfume and each perfume has 500 points on it so you get back more points than it cost you to get the original £50 clubcard voucher.
For example 2000 points would get you a £20 clubcard voucher at the end of the quarter. At the moment you could double this voucher for £40 of vouchers to spend on fragrances. Then you could buy 5 of the £8 fragrances which have 500 bonus points each. So you would get back 5x500 points = 2500 just for the initial outlay of 2000 points.
Obviously the more you buy the more points you get.0 -
option 1: that £90 in vouchers will buy you £360 in deals
option 2: convert the £90 into £180 of perfume vouchers and buy 22 bottles of the perfume. This will earn you 22 x 500 points = 11,000 points. This is worth £110 or £440 in deals.
so assuming you will use the deals and that the deals are competitively priced you will be £80 better off.0 -
