Using Tesco clubcard vouchers with National Express

tg99

Has anyone done the above? Reason I’m asking is that on the clubcard website it says that once you have received your Tesco emailed voucher you then redeem it on the National Express website and then vouchers will arrive in post in 7-10 days. Is the latter part correct as I was under the impression you could just use the Tesco emailed voucher to book your journey online and then get an e ticket so as not to have to wait for 1-2 weeks for post?

When I booked two years ago, I used the token code from Tesco to book online. This was the instruction that came with the token:

How to use your token codes:
1. Visit http://www.nationalexpress.com/tokencodes
2. Enter in your from and to destinations, then the dates you wish to depart and the journey type.
3. Enter your token code in the "Voucher ID" and the Security code in the "Security code" box, then click Buy Now.
4. This will give you a list of options of times to chose from. Select your journey/s and amend the "who is travelling section"
5. Fill in the Your details section in order to pay for the booking fee. Select how you would like to recieve your tickets; if you select to recieve your tickets by post there is a £1.50 postage fee. Once filled in, click on Continue.
6. If your token code comes to less than the value of the booking, the outstanding balance will need to be made with a valid payment card at the time of the booking to complete the transaction.
7. Your tickets will be posted to you, Please allow 7 to 10 clear postal days for delivery.

Once you had booked online was there an option to get an e ticket straight away or was the only option to have the tickets posted to you hence needing to wait 7-10 days ....as 5. above implies there are other options rather than just post? (Am trying to establish if I use my clubcard vouchers now there is a way I can get tickets in time to use on 23/24 Dec which wouldn’t be possible if I have to wait for posting.)
