Clubcard Deals - Alton Towers Annual Pass is back!!

bluep

Apologies if this has already been posted but I couldn't find it in a search.

There was a bit of an uproar last year (or perhaps more of a disappointed sigh) as Tesco stopped doing Alton Towers annual passes with clubcard deals with the explanation that Tussauds group were annoyed because they were too successful!

However, looking through the new deals brochure, Annual Passes are back in - £21.25 of clubcard point for a personal annual pass - (Alton Towers, Thorpe Park, Chessington World of Adventures, Madame Tussauds, London Eye and Warwick Castle). It also gives you 20% off of eating and shopping inside I believe. Normal price is £85 per person for the pass, so a 1-4 return on clubcard points as usual.

We're definately sending off for ours - live a few miles from Alton Towers!!

If i were to start collecting clubcard points, How much would you think id have to spend to get enough for one of these pass's?

well, the way we do it is order online from Tescos once every few weeks or once a month at a £75 shop and use one of the spend £75 get 1000 clubcard points. That soon adds up so every quarter I get at least £30 worth of vouchers. In addition, there's the in store offers of buy one get 100 points or 50 points and the vouchers they send in the post of 100 points if you buy £5 of meat etc... so I just plan around these and stock up when I can.

If you are actually talking about just plain spending - its 1 clubcard point per £1 spent so that would be 4250 points needed so £4,250 to spend!! LOL.

I am sooo excited about this!! I have posted it, or added it to an old thread in the Days Out forum on here, but I didnt think of adding it on here, so thank you bluep

We have 2 adults and 2 children in our family, so getting the passes free with Tesco Clubcard is the only way we can afford to go!!

Does anyone know if the passes have your name on like a credit card?

Yes, they have your name AND photo on them, although at Alton Towers, they hardly ever check them.

If you haven't used them maybe Tesco will let you send them back and have the points added back to your total? They will usually let you return unused Deals I think.

Only thing is, unless you've got enough other vouchers for the Annual Pass now, you would have to wait until the pre-Xmas mailing to get your vouchers back again!
