And I actually love my Tesco credit card - mine is silver with Strawberies:rotfl:

And now Tesco's are trying to keep us healthy by providing us with part of our 5 a day:rotfl:

I would have waited until end of Sat 20th March for the vouchers to arrive and if they didn't, I would have exchanged anyway

Enough about that....nothing can be changed! (except if Tesco don't give us surprises!!)

Yes, that's would I would have done if I'd known , although knowing my luck there would have been a problem with my computer/internet/the website on the 20th and then I'd have been panicking

Just start trawling through the travel books while you decide where you are jetting off to.

Hoping to save a few more and then get flights to Vancouver summer 2011 - Vancouver Island is somewhere we've all wanted to visit for a while now, unlikely to be able to afford it any other way.

Sorry I have never done this ever before so I am practising, but wanted to take part. I too have never done airmiles but thought double airmiles must be the time to give it a try. So changed 920 equaled 22080 miles on 24 Feb and had them doubled 26 March 50 for signing a joing survey now have 44210 hopefully enough for family hol in florida for 3 wks 2011

A return flight to Florida is 6500 airmiles pp, so you will probably have enough - depending on how many are in your family of course!

Always used rewards from tesco to bk hols in the past with cosmos cresta and haven but we want to do florida for 3 weeks cosmos u can only spend 400 pp virgin only 700 pp then the rest cash. So thought going 3 weeks wld be easier with airmiles with current promo to do a package so include flights and accom the biggest costs. I LOVE HOLIDAYS especially when they are technically free.

4 of us hoping to get accomadation as well before I changed checked had enough for 3 of us with accom and car hire but cannot check for that time as flights not available yet so just an estimate and now my older son might join us but he doesn't want to stay all the time in orlando so might try and do week at a beach for him but suppose can change more tesco vouchers in next quarter but at the lesser amount. Just worried when people say cann't get flights to match want to go around May as went several years ago in July/Aug and I found it too hot.

How exactly does anyone manage to collect £920 of Clubcard vouchers in 30 months (after this they are expired and cannot be converted) unless they are running a restaurant or have a family of 10 or something.

Of course well done on getting the double Air Miles conversion rate.

Conversion to car hire is a ripoff and worth a mere fraction in cash terms of using the Air Miles on flights though.

I Agree with NonGeo Man, I looked into car hire in Florida with airmiles and it is definitely a rip off - if youve got the cash you would be better off paying for it and saving your airmiles for the next holiday!
Of course at your collection rate it might not matter!

Well done though - like you say its a great feeling knowing you havn't forked out lots of cash for a holiday!

I have clubcard and the old cc getting 1pt for £2 spend I use my credit card for everything. I always look for ways to collect extra points ie wine deal last summer
still well stocked phone deals 14.97 phone 1000pt bought some to use then sold rest on ebay cd offers 500 for preorder at tesco entertainment before christmas and used as christmas presents of course double points in tesco at moment has helped increase my points total to the best ever + extra bonus double airmiles at moment I always save nearly 2 years worth of vouchers and use them to pay for holiday of some sort and had been thinking of florida and was saving like mad for May next year so was just at right time for me with airmiles deal We are quite a large family me oh 25 yr 23yr and 13yr old. Most of my tip offs have been through Martins money tips so many thanks to his emails.
