question about Tesco Clubcard and Alton Towers

if I send off for clubcard deal for Alton Towers, is there an expiry date on the tickets?

Also, is there a way to accumulate my clubcard points without them sending me the vouchers every three months? I think £7.25 clucard = 1 Alton Towers ticket, and say if you give them a £10 clucard voucher you still get one alton towers ticket but no 'change' back in vouchers.

    When you send off for for an Alton Towers deal you should be sent a voucher to exchange for an entry ticket, rather than a ticket itself. That voucher is valid for six months.

    If you send more vouchers than you are spending, the balance is credited back in points to your card. So in the scenario you have put, you will have 275 points returned to your card in "change" to be converted back to vouchers next time round.

    Half price entry to Alton Towers vouchers seem to be everywhere. May be better using one of these and saving the club card deals for something else.

    I agree

    I've got a load of 2 for 1 in the Sun a couple of weeks back and in this week's What's On TV south east there's a load of entry for £15 :money:

    I might have my sums wrong but isn't £7.25 somewhat cheaper than £15. The Deals token still seems much better value than the other ticket offers around.

    yep. I have enough points for about 5 free tickets - enough for the family to have a day out for totally 'free' . With these buy one get one free tickets I would have to spend about £30 - £45 in entry fees alone.

    Besides, theres nothing else I fancy on the clubcard deals so this is ideal for me :)

    £7.25 may be better value but only if there's nothing else you want from the deals booklet. I used a half price coupon instead of clubcard deals, using them on airport parking saving much more than I would have the other way round.
