MFI Tesco vouchers - help please

Hi all,
Soon I am going to get my first ever Tesco clubcard vouchers. I was hoping to convert them into MFI vouchers - just need to hurry up and reach the minimum amount but that's a whole over story!!!
Anyway, I know they are about to come to an end but I don't understand how you use them as I never have before. It says you can only use a maximum of 15 deal tokens - does that mean 15 lots of £5 of if you get £250 worth of deals that is one voucher?
Are you allowed to by sale items?
How do you actually use them as I am going to have to be so quick if I actually reach the £250 as I know the minimum amount you can use charges to £500 on the 1st March.
Many thanks for anyone who takes the time to help and any tips or advice is much appreciated.
Have to hurry up and try and reach the minimum £250 now!!! Ahhhhhhh!!
:T Benjamin has won!!! Am soooo proud. Thank you to everyone who agreed my baby was the cutiest. Want to go round and hug everyone who voted, it means so much to me!:A

    We ordered ours online, about £440 worth, and the vouchers arrived in a couple of days. We used them like cash on the sale yesterday. Really good value and easy-peasy.

    Sorry but don't know about the 15 limit. The vouchers we revceived were for £100 each, then two for £20. Maybe the limit is 15 x £100 vouchers??

    I used my first ones today in MFI. They are treated as cash and yes you can use them on sale prices. The MFI computer will only allow 15 clubcard tokens to be used at a time but you can go back in the next day if you wish and pay with another 15 tokens.

    I purchased a bathroom and all the trimmings today for £1673. I paid them £505 using 12 tokens ranging from £100 right down to £5 and when my next lot of of clubcard tokens come from the February Mailing, I will pay them the rest of the amount. If I don't have enough in clubcard tokens then I will make it up with cash.

    I'm on a mission now to get myself another 10000 points before the end of January to pay for it in full.
    There is a forgotten, nay almost forbidden word which means more to me than any other. That word is England.

  • i purchased my cloakroom toilet set yesterday as it was the last day of the sale.

    had 6 vouchers from £5 ones to £60 , the more you send/ submit to tesco , the larger the denominations of vouchers sent back.You can only use a maximum of 15.

  • Oh no, well by the time I get my vouchers the sale will be over. Am hoping to get the kids new beds as my little girl broke hers by jumping on it!!! And it's time my little man had his first bed, not sure he agrees though!!!
    Thanks for all the advice.
    Now just have to make sure I reach the minimum £250!!

    I'm hoping to use £600 worth in the next couple of days: as soon as they arrive. I was getting rather twitchy as there's been a problem with my voucher order: I rang earlier because they'd promised to post them on Tues but I hadn't received them. The chap has promised they'll be posted today so fingers crossed: thanks for the info about the sale being extended!

    I spent £1600 in deal vouchers in MFI the other day - the staff simply split my order so as not to exceed the 15 voucher limit. They even juggled the prices around so that I didn't lose money (you don't get change when using vouchers). They were really helpful and will help you as much as possible.
