    I save up a year's worth of Tesco vouchers and have a "Haven" holiday for a week in summer hols - worth around £500-600. Much better than getting money off your shopping. The vouchers now are valid for 2 years so you can save up for more expensive hols.
    I didnt realise that you could exchange Club Card Points for holidays!! :mad: Is it better value than saving on food and the usual stuff? Does anyone know who the holidays are with?

    have a look on the tesco website, look for the clubcard link then hunt through the deals. you can use the points off loads of holidays, haven or butlins in england, disneyland paris through 'cresta', florida through 'cosmos' etc.

    Hi sooz
    Did you know that you can exchange Nectar points for goods in Argos? They just swipe your Nectar card and the points are deducted.

    If you have younger kids, you get better value for money exchanging Nectar points for Adams vouchers. (You get £5 per 500 points at Adams, or £2.50 per 500 points at Sainsburys or Argos.)

    You can order Adams vouchers online.

    thanks, i did not know this.

    unfortunately i don't like adam's clothes for boys....think boy's clothes in general are nowhere near as nice as pink frilly girly ones.- though my son might disagree.

    only thing i've been using my nectar vouchers for is getting into the eden project...think it was 3 vouchers per adult...which worked out the same as paying cash.

    A much better saving as £1 off your food in store = £4 off a holiday

    Here's a link for you...but have a look around the site to see who else you can spend the vouchers with as there are all sorts of companies who take the vouchers as payment.

    I've signed up to any rewards points scheme offered in shops I use, even if it's not very often.

    Tesco is where I do my main shop and get my petrol, so I get a lot there. I'm also a member of the Health Living Club, which offers freebies and extra points. They have a triple points offer on mobile top ups quite regularly, which is great, especially if you have a double points coupon too!!

    I don't shop in Co-Op that often, but Mum and I have joint cards, and every now and then we have a voucher come through, which can be converted into cash at the till, should you so wish.

    I also have a WHSmiths card, which the whole family uses, but we don't even have a pound on that yet!!

    I don't tend to shop in Boots, but when I do, I give the receipt to Mum, who can add the points to her card.

  • Hi, I don't know if this is the correct site but M. F. I. are giving Tesco Club points on all bedroom and kitchens.
    If you decide to use them at M.F.I. they are worth x 4
