    Please help!
    I bought 2 £12.50 days out tokens after selecting brean leisure park, as we are going to brean 2moro till monday. afterwards i saw wookey hole and how good it looks, and wookey hole IS on the days out category, with the same price "£2.50 in clubcard vouchers gives 12.50 days out token". But when i go onto brean leisure park and click on "where else can i use this voucher?" it only lists another 14 attractions not including wookey hole. So im confused now, it seems that i cant use them for wookey hole but i always thought they were generic if they were priced the same ie not like thorpe etc which is £7.50 clubcard voucher for 1 entry ticket.
    Can anyone decipher this for me? thanks!

    Wookey Hole is really not that good - we live nearby and have been a couple times, but always go away wondering why we bothered again. Cheddar Gorge is better, more (\too) expensive.

    Its confusing cause some things are the same as normal ie it tells you how much for one ticket, but these are arranged in the same way ie has amount needed, but you need to work out how much you need for the attraction

    I want 4 tickets to Exmoor Zoo
    4x £10.95 ~ £44

    So £2.50 TCV = £12.50, so I need 4x £2.50 vouchers??? (with no change given??)

    either use 4 vouchers and get no change or use 3 vouchers and pay £6.50 cash.

    Received my 1st lot of P3009 vouchers this morning. If the weather looks promising tomorrow or Sunday, OH and I might go to Blenheim Palace or Hampton Court or even Hatfield House. Will also be going to the Tower of London (have not been there for about 45 years) and Kensington Palace.

    Am I being a bit thick,if the vouchers are now worth 5x and the one I am looking at is 6.50 that would mean it is for entry to the value of 32.50 yet the entry on the website for where it is valid is only £21-24 so you are using more clubcard vouchers than you need to get that entry ticket. its a buy it in full so you wont get change either.

    Don't change £6.50 for £32.50. Change only £4 for £20 and pay the other £1.24 in cash. When you change the £4 from the £6.50, £2.50 "change" should go back to your account.

    No Alligg I think you are looking at a Buy in Full which is NOT included in the 5x - that is only on the days out or theme park vouchers, there are also some reductions to £7.50 on buy in full to places like Drayton Manor and Alton Towers etc but the 5x offer/reduction does not apply to all places
    Kalsha you are also getting confused - you can only exchange multiples of £2.50 eg £2.50, £5, £7.50 etc

    Just to add I have so far changed up £40 of vouchers for £200 days out for Howletts & Exmoor Zoo (when we are on hols) plus 4 buy in full Drayton Manor (which are on offer reduced) and 4 Ripley's buy in full (which aren't on offer)

    Thanks Igottawii!! You are right! I haven't sat down to order mine yet so hadn't realised that I can only order in multiples of £2.50. I'll have to sit down and work out the best combination for me. Sorry Alligg to confuse you!

    OK bit of advice needed here please.

    I'm looking at two places to go Ironbridge ( £18.75 for annual pass ) and Thinktank Science Museum ( £8.40 ) both with concession prices.

    So how do I best do this if it's £2.50 clubcard for £12.50 vouchers ?
