Did you try their website? Tesco direct is split into different categories... you'll see what comes up when you click white goods (if they have such a category there?)

Yes; and no they don't have that category, and a search simply throws up all sorts of things which have "white" in their description, so no help really.

Then it would tell you that you need to.

And another advice would be that if you get so easily upset then you shouldn't visit public forums.

I'm not upset.

Lower right side of every page - purple section "Forum Etiquette", Pls be nice to all Moneysavers.

Did you read my edit afterwards? Always if unsure - call CS. I know it's pain but we are also just guessing.

As for the joke I made earlier - the smilies are here to help us differentiate when people make silly jovial jokes and just try to give you a hint and when they mean it. That is why I used them.

You have to do the double up in store but can spend on line with tesco direct. HTH.

If you to be able to use a 'double up' voucher for on-line purposes, you need to stipulate that when you do the conversion.

Now for a question of my own - does anyone know what Mr T classes as "white goods"? Thinking of electricals like Laptops, TVs, Hard Disc DVD recorders etc.

Home electricals, are usually referred to as either 'white' or 'brown'.

White - being primarily kitchen items from large ones such as cookers, fridges, washing machines, and freezers, to smaller ones such as mixers, microwaves, kettles etc.

Brown - being primarily reception room equipment from TVs to hi-fi.

you are totally looking at the maths in the wrong way

£60 of clubcard vouchers is worth £60 cash in Tesco - so using deals vouchers to pay for the above has only cost you £60 as thats what their face value is
dea
however, you acquired these vouchers for fee, so overall the 'flight experience' has cost you absolutely nothing - its a toss up really, pay £119 cash , or us a voucher that you were given for free, but has 'worth £240' printed on the front

i just dont get, why peopleples feel they are being ripped off?

You are completely ignoring the article that you are commenting on. In my particular case £60 in vouchers is worth £120 on 'baby stuff' through the promotion this thread is supposed to be discussing. Given I would have otherwise purchased these for cash I think these are the best value and therefore M artin's original quote that to me said "Deals.... Deals..... Deals....." , would ignore all those who could use the deals more profitably through the promotion.

but how can you be ripped off, if tesco are giving you something for free?

when comparing like for like, tesco are not overcharging for the same product, so where is the rip off?

yes, i understand what you are saying about some things being cheaper elsewhere, and you could be wasting your clubcard vouchers if you dont have enough to pay for a product in full, but thats the same for anything you buy, you have to shop around and see what works best for your pocket

dazza.mk wasnt moaning about the fact unless you could pay for a deal in full you being ripped off. he just saw the baseline of 4x the value and went hunting to see what the cash costs were. then wrongly made the point that tesco were ripping people off. people need to ignore the 4x byline, and just see what the face value of their clubcard tokens gets them, compared to what an actual cash outlay would be

in the majority of cases, you are onto a winner with clubcard vouchers, but as always you have to play them to your own advantage

F

Please!!! tell me where I said Tesco were ripping people, I purely stated that deals are not worth the face value claimed by Tesco and should not be evaluated at such, you ignore the last value paragraph of my original post particularly "Anyone who can use the double ups pofitably (ie has a baby), wouldn't always find Martin's 'Use Deals first' to be very moneysaving!! "

ie if I take your point of view as deals are a freebie, I'd be evaluating the deal I mentioned as being worth £240 and great value........ but if I evaluate it as being £120 AND that I could spend the £60 vouchers as £120 as 'double up' baby products then I stand by my view that the best value would be the £120 in baby products and then shop around for the best 'cash deal' for the experience I mentioned.

I don't see what is so difficult to understand??

I am getting a bit confused by this scheme.

On another thread someone has posted they got jewellery using the clothing category(codes didnt work on line but clubcard told them their was a problem with all codes and to exchange for a gift voucher instore)
I can't see jewellery listed anywhere.

Also in the gardening category when you go to the category not all the gardening stuff is listed in the links does this mean for instance that the garden buildings are not included?

Confused.

Isn't very clear is it? In the case of garden buildings I would have throught they would be included as they are not listed as an exclusion, however the only exclusion under Garden is 'Camping' which Tesco Direct doesn't even list under the Garden section

I've posted a couple of new threads on the Grabbit board asking people to give their successful purchases or otherwise under this scheme.

Like you I don't think what is excluded is very clear - can you buy a laptop under personal electricals for instance?
