  • £20 to add from clubcard exchange :)

    I did manage to mess the exchange up though :o:o
    I picked out £21 worth of school uniform stuff and exchange a £10 voucher into £20, but didn't realise to use the voucher for £20 i had to actually spend £40....we are ALL stocked up with pants and socks for a while!:rotfl:

    :s Have they changed it then this time?
    Whenever I've done it before, it's been like you thought. You 'buy' a £20 voucher for £10 of CC vouchers, then just use it like a normal £20 off that category.
    We exchanged £40 vouchers last time for £80 of garden furniture from Tesco Direct, and our total was £84.50, so we just paid £4.50.

    Have listed a few cds on Music Magpie, cds and books on We Buy Books and am doing a car boot tomorrow. Am selling some of the toys we have cluttering our house up. My ds is coming with (to help!) So, fingers crossed - might make a bob or two and get rid of some carp.:j

    Hang on - did I understand you wrong, and you ended up with twice as much stuff as you should have done for the £20 voucher?
    Or did you still have to pay the extra £20 actual money yourself too?

    I can't see anything saying you have to pay an extra £20 for using double up vouchers.

    You can exchange a £5 voucher for £10. I think they misinformed you?

    I would email CS at Tesco and ask them to confirm this, although you bought stuff and it is stuff you will use, that is not the point. If it was me, I might not have had the extra £20, which is not very fair.

    Email them, they may send you a gift card which would be nice.

    and well done on beating your target! :beer::beer::beer:

    Hi all, sold my partners old phone and lots of peel offs and cards on 3bay making my new total... £170.08 it's slowly going up, may pluck up the courage to do a carboot next weekend if I can find some stuff to sell, very hard finding time with the new baby, does anyone have any tips for the carboot? I'm really not very good with people and get all hot and flustered.. My nickname in high school was beatroot as every time the teacher or anyone spoke to me I turned bright red :8 *shivers*
