  • I quite agree that most of the Tesco Clubcard deals aren't very useful. It's worth hanging onto the points for as long as possible though, as I think they are valid for 2 years. The deals change from time to time, and something worthwhile may come up. Just make sure you mark the expiry dates in your calendar so you don't forget and can use them in-store when they are about to expire.

    I did very well out of this when life membership of the Ramblers Association came up as a deal. I was already a member of the Ramblers Association, paying by annual subscription. I had the £150 in points that was required for life membership because I had saved up the points over 2 years.
  • Hi all

    Just to let you know (if you didn't already) that you can sign up for marriott hotel and allied schemes then covert them to tesco rewards by ringing once the marriott UK free phone number on their website

    I too always save up my vouchers so last year, when my washing machine and oven both went wrong, I was able to replace both using deal tokens for MFI.
    We also booked a holiday for next year with Virgin (we would have booked with them anyway) and got £645 off with Deal Tokens.

    We have a Tesco Clubcard Visa card and use it for all our regular expenditure (paying it off every month instead of paying for groceries, petrol etc by cash/cheque) so we get points on everything we buy. We also get points from our gas/electricity provider. Soon all adds up!

    Hear! Hear! With a young family (2 under 3) nearly all the clubcard deals are of no interest to me. I save them up for redeeming against my Christmas shop...... (Sorry Mr Lewis!)

  • The best Clubcard Deal for me is a bed and breakfast stay at a Marriott hotel.( £70 -£210) If you sign up for a Marriott Reward card (marriottrewards.com) then you get reward points for all the money you have spent including the deal value plus any incidentals - bar bill, dinner at the hotel etc. If you then settle the bill for incidentals with your Tesco Visa card you get more Tesco Clubcard points, which of course stack up for your next Marriot hotel stay. Marriott Rewards stack up from 20,000 points a free hotel night to 1,135,000 points for 2 people to travel around the world by air travelling First Class with 6 stops which include 5 x 7 nights free stays (room only) at a category 5 Marriott hotel. I guess you pay for your own 6th stop hotel - or simply miss that stop and travel directly home!
  • I have used my clubcard points to convert to XL holiday vouchers. They can be used for flights alone or a package. I thought there was a good selection at competitive prices. Although there is a time limit on the use as mentioned previously, the secret is to have scanned the XL sight before cashing in your points and when you have found a holiday ring XL to reserve telling them you will be paying ( or part paying ) with Tesco vouchers.
    Tesco only take three working days to send the XL voucher to you;)

    just been into my local tesco pharmacy, they will only give you the point s if your surgerty is signed up with them to collect the prescriptions already......so i only got 250 points for my OH isntead of 250 for me aswell ( he's at a different surgery)
  • Apologies if this seems a bit thick but are you supposed to find a local store and then just click on the pharmacy ICON? Well I have done this but no form has appeared??

    I agree! Tesco used to offer many more 'deals', but now all you seem to be able to get are meals or days out - and these latter have to be very well thought out and booked in advance, you can't just decide oh let's go to Alton Towers, you have to book it all weeks in advance.

    The only thing I find vaguely useful is the cross channel offer, and although we get to go for free, it is actually very expensive as you can't use the deal tokens with any other offer, so effectively you pay full price, in tokens. Also, watch out for the expiry dates on these vouchers, I had to send off for the tunnel vouchers last month as I had at least 20 quids worth (80 in Tesco money) that were about to expire. Come to think of it, I must check as I think I have some that are going to expire next month.

    I have around £100 in vouchers, quite useful with Christmas coming up, I know that's around £400 in deals, but all their offers have time limits, once you send for the vouchers, there is time limit for booking the actual trip, meal etc - and it's all rather complicated.

    It's time Tesco had a rethink on these vouchers.

    Oh, and I know they're really useful for airmiles, but again the process is rather complicated and time limited.

    I agree about 'unuseful' deal offers - empty nesters with sick dog restricting travel, reduces options somewhat - so one card goes to Air Miles for (hopefully) future use, t'other gives the vouchers to save on grocery bills (sorry, Martin).

    I have however missed the expiry date a few times but found the vouchers go through the tills anyway - up to two months late once! - so always worth a try. Doubt it would work when sending them off for deals, though
