hi - could someone please clarify this as it has been niggling at me for awhile: if I get items to the value of £250 at MFI and spend my vouchers worth £220 then pay balance of £30 or would I have to buy £570 worth of items minus my £220 then pay balance of £250 (I know its silly question but want to find out before I order as never ordered/used deals before) - many thanks

the first example is correct i.e. our fridge freezer is £400, paid £80 cash deposit, £320 in vouchers for remaining balance. The order value just needs to exceed £250 to allow you to use vouchers.

For anyone needing vouchers in a hurry its always worth taking a look on ebay.. they usually got for about twice the tesco value ...but still about half the deal value...

ie £100 tesco vouchers is worth £400 deals .. would cost you on ebay about £200. Still a good moneysaver

Be careful depending on the deal chosen some vouchers have the surname on
and although MFI used to take any surname combinations I have heard they are tightening up on this.

One warning for converting to MFI (as I did), they will only accept 15 vouchers per order, therefore, the maximum amount you can spend in each transaction is £1500. I did two separate orders to purchase my kitchen.

I have also just converted two quarters of clubcard vouchers into virgin holiday vouchers and had to spend a grand total of £83 (in hard cash) for a week all inclusive to the caribbean (for two people). Going in 9 weeks time and I can't wait!

Long live tesco clubcard vouchers!

:beer:

I have been to Barbados with Virgin (not through deals) it was fab, have a great time. Now that MFI are leaving deals next year I am now saving for Virgin.

MFI haven't been in it that long either. I can only presume the companies involved are losing too much cash by being part of Tesco Deals.

No idea how the process works but according to MFI it's Tesco who pulled the deal as they didn't realise how popular the deal would become and cost them in the long run. I think MFI were quite happy with the extra business (no idea how much value of the vouchers they get to 'reclaim' from tesco)

Do I have to exchange my vouchers for deals before going to MFI to order what I want (a mattress)?

Also, what's this about only being able to spend 15 vouchers in one transaction, if I'm expecting to get about £300 deals vouchers, what denominations do they come in? Just I'm a bit concerned cos there's no way you can split a mattress order !

Thanks.

Yes - you need to order the MFI vouchers before you go. You can either print a form off the Clubcard site and send them by post, or order online if the vouchers have an e-code on.

I've just ordered £170 worth of vouchers and I got 1 x £100, 1 x £60 and 1 x £10 in MFI vouchers.

Ordered a high sleeper with a futon underneath and a matress for my sons new bedroom. Giving him the bigger spare room, and putting an old TV, DVD player and their playstation in with him. That way my boys can take all their mates upstairs and I can breastfeed baby in the sitting room when (s)he arrives, without inquisitive 8-10 year old boys staring at me
