    Yeah got around £90 of cc vouchers.

    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.

    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.

    well that's a lot simpler and you'd avoid stinking the whole plane out with perfume!
