    But can you get special offer prices using clubcard vouchers, or do you just get standard brochure prices?

    I've just watched despatches & hadn't even seen the funeral plan on deals as mentioned. Has anyone used this? I've looked it up on the web but the writing is too small for me to read. How many vouchers would you need to turn into deals? Seems a good thing to do in a way.
    Any help.
    Thanks.

    Someone will no doubt say that they aren't 'worth' four times face value when converted to BA Miles, but that's what all my points get converted too.

    BA Miles flight 'prices' are fixed, whereas 'cash prices' vary. All you pay in addition to BA Miles are the taxes.

    For instance, *currently you can fly to west coast USA or Canada for £180 + 25000 BA Miles. 25000 BA Miles is £104 in Clubcard vouchers.

    So this £284 (£180 + £104) buys you a FLEXIBLE economy BA ticket which would cost £799. Even the non-flexible ticket costs £580.

    We're off to Tenerife in April, having used 10,000 BA Miles (£42 in Clubcard vouchers) per ticket plus £42 taxes.

    *BA Miles are currently worth double on flights to USA/Canada and Europe between 16th Feb - end May (Exc 1st-9th April), if booked before 2nd March, hence the current good deals like those above.

    That's return.

    Details here:

    The web page list is only examples. Also valid for most UK regional departure points.

    Plus, your connecting flight from regional airport to LHR/LGA (if required) for Heathrow/Gatwick departures is effectively free.

    Not sure what to spend this quarters on - has anyone had the letter saying if you 'buy' a deal online they will credit you an additional 500 points (cant remember the actual wording and have binned the letter)? I'm planning to 'buy' one deal at 250 points for Drayton Manor or the Sea Life centre just to get the extra points.

    Hello

    Does anyone know anything about this - getting the extra 500 points if you get them online? That would be a nice bonus.

    If you do can you please let me know what code you need to enter etc.

    Thanks

  • I just got back from MFI where I ordered a new bed, mattress and bedside cabinets, yesterday I ordered a sideboard & mirror - this is such a buzz getting furniture for free (well a bit of clever clubcarding)

    Must admit I had to think about it cos when your points start climbing you just really want to see them go up and up and I'd already decided to save for Florida so a big chunk just came out of that, it was the fact that MFI are ending that swung it in the end, hopefully I can always save more points for Florida but I wont be able to get furniture in the future.

    WELSHY you must be a permanent high with all the stuff you've had from MFI !!!
    I just wish I'd cottoned on to collecting ages ago.
    The cleaning and scrubbing will wait till tomorrow, For children grow up, as I've learned to my sorrow.
    So quiet down, cobwebs. Dust go to sleep. I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep.


  • Yes its great a real buzz, I ordered my gas range cooker today would have cost £1,039 but was FREE with my deal vouchers !

    also put down a deposit for the kitchen and will quality for a FREE dishwasher ! happy days
