Hello
Can i just clarify some things please?

1) Can I use my tesco points to buy an annual pass at the sale price?

2) Should I buy it through Tesco or get a voucher and buy through say sea life?

3) If I buy the passes they are not activated until I actually go somewhere for the day?

4) How long do I have to exchange them?

Answera:

1) No, you can only buy a voucher from Tesco to exchange for a Merlin Pass and it is £50 in deals vouchers.

2) You can only buy one way or the other. If you go to Sealife you will need to pay in cash/card you cannot take the Days Out Vouchers.

3) If you buy a pass at this Special Offer price it starts on the day you buy it - unless you get the voucher from Sealife Centre. If you get the voucher from Tesco Clubcard then you exchange it on the first day you use it and it starts then. However, this has to be exchanged within 6 months.

4) As no 3 or the Sealife one, 10 months I believe.

Thank you so much...it's so easy to get in a pickle with it all!
There are 6 of us in our family so I forever trying to find the best ( cheapest!) way to do things. Really appreciate your help.

It will come as an email or voucher for 3 people and you all need to go to the attraction to obtain individual passes.

When we bought ours online last night there was an option to have them posted royal mail recorded delivery for free, within 4 days. We chose that option as we're about 30 miles from an attraction.

Hi, does anyone know how to get 3 standard passes and one premium for a family? There only seems to be the option or all of one or the other or buy a separate premium one as an individual.

You can either up the family of 3 and a separate premium or I think you can upgrade by paying an extra amount at the attraction when you collect.

Thank you, I will try the latter!

I have just called Merlin and asked how the renewal works with the jan sale prices...
I can order and pay today and then take my email along to an attraction when my old pass has expired and collect a new card that will start on the day i go to the attraction.
I cannot order online and go to an attraction now to get passes that run from my expiry in May till may 2015, I have to wait till May to go for the new passes and keep the email safe till then.

I've never bought these passes before, can someone tell me can friends buy a family pass to share?
Me and a couple of my friends want to get some passes and we would obviously like to get the cheapest price, would this work, or would different surnames be an issue? Can you each use your pass separately as well as together?

Hi that's fine. I have friends who have done this, as long as there is a minimum of 3 and no more than 3 over 12 years old.
