    I have been trying to find out if it covers mobile top ups. I know it covers pay as you go mobile phones, telephones, mobile accessories, iPhone accessories, mobile broadband but it doesn't appear to say anything about top ups.

    I did a google and found this http://www.tesco.com/mobilenetwork/content.aspx?page=74 but it appears it was only valid until Dec 2009!!!

    The woman in front of me tried to use a voucher for top up and it wouldn't go through.

    I bought a phone for my DD £119.99 and £40 of toys paid for them altogether saved £20 off the phone.

    This is how I paid for my shopping:

    £40.41 of toys
    £119.97 mobile phone (99.97 after discount for £40 spend instore)
    £15 wii game (can't spend double up vouchers on wii games)

    I paid for it with £40 of toy double up vouchers, £5 sun voucher wys £40, and £110 of double up mobile phone vouchers - till let me use £110 in vouchers as the price of the phone was more £110 before the £20 discount. Which left 41p cash to pay for the wii game.
  • thank you for sharing

    Thanks for that its good to know, think I shall get her to check out the clothes before changing the vouchers.

    Always go and get what you want and THEN go to the helpdesk to change the vouchers up.

    Not impressed with all the problems of this scheme but very impressed with Tesco Clothing.

    Placed an order for clothes and jewellery using the double up tokens
    around 10.30pm friday night and order was delivered 11.00am today.

    Thinking of doing it again, just hope the machines are working when I get there as it is not around the corner.

    We had £7 off a £50 shop till spit from Tescos, we also wanted a mobile phone for our daughter.
    Offer spend £40 and get £20 off certain phones we wanted an LG Cookie Fresh at £69.97 we asked them if we could use the exchange your clubcard vouchers for double offer to pay for mobile phones, they said yes, so off we went, spent the required amount and cashed in £20 of vouchers for £40 voucher for the phone, as went through the till we got another £7 off £50 spend, no mention on it that you couldnt use for mobiles or with any other offer, so armed with these we went to the Mobile counter....1 x LG Cookie Fresh (on Tesco Mobile) £69.97
    Less £20 for spending £40 = £49.97 Less the £40 clubcard vouchers = £9.97 Less £7 till spit = £2.97, we paid cash and asked for the points to go on our clubcard.....assistant could hardly speak to us.....every little helps :rotfl:

    Can I ask a quick question that may seem daft?

    I have lots of vouchers of odd amount- £2 £1, £1.50. They all add up to about £20. Is this okay or is it only ones that are £5?

    My Tesco would only take 5.00 10.00 etc would not except any under 5.00 if you were handing over say a 6.00 voucher the odd 1.00 would go back onto your card. Maybe best to check your store but I think its all Tescos :(

    I changed up lots of small ones 50ps, £1s etc yesterday as long as you have at least £5 when they are added together you can change them for double up vouchers. Double up vouchers only come in £10s so you must have at least £5 worth of clubcard vouchers but they can made up of smaller denominatios.

    Do you mean that if you had anything under £5 that added up to £5 (eg 50p, £1, £1.50, £2) they still wouldn't accept it?! I'd complain to their head office for that one, the should be accpeting anything that adds up to £5.
