air miles v tesco deals with Cresta

I know this has probably been posted a million times before..but (humour me guys) I have equivelant of £800 in deals. A 2 night break to Prague or Barcelona is coming in at £650 ish through Cresta (I can get the same deal for £400 incidentally if I pay cash!).

Question is: is it worth converting my deals to airmiles in the hope I can get a better deal? Do the deals tend to be better?

Mental blocks are just hurdles to overcome in life.

Yeah..whatever :rolleyes:

    i think you would be better to use the deals as you still have to pay taxes if you use airmiles. your holiday will cost you £162.50 in clubcard vouchers.seems like a good deal to me.

    I would definetly use Cresta as it is a package you are looking for. Cresta is more value for money i think, but if you wish to only book a hotel or flight then this is not possibile with Cresta and you should then consider Airmiles. If its just a hotel in a european city you should use Hilton vouchers as they offer goodd value.
