    Can anyone tell me, if I ordered 2 passes, would I be able to set one up for my girlfriend? The vouchers are in my name, and she has a different surname.

    That will be fine, as long as it is you who places the initial Tesco Deals order. You will then be sent the two tokens which don't have any name or clubcard details on them. You and your girlfriend then swop these for your passes.

    I have applied for four passes, one for me, one for my boyfriend and one each for his two children, and we have three different surnames and three different addresses!

    You don't have to buy a pass for your 2 year old. Our 3 year old is photographed with us on our annual pass photo's so the ticket office can see that she is allowed entry without paying. We've used the passes at Alton Towers 6 times since we got them and have never had a problem. You only have to buy a pass if they're over 4 (I think).

    I`m not sure what to do now our 3 year old will become 4 during the life of the pass do I get him 1 or try and get him in free all year.

    Has any1 else with 2/3 yr olds had them put in the photo with them?
    Perhaps I should email Merlin for advice? :confused:

    mine say merlin pass.

    i'm a bit concerned that different people are being told different things though - there's nothing official and the people on the phone aren't all saying the same thing. i wouldn't want anybody to order it then be disappointed.

    i still want the passes whether they include legoland or not, so it doesn't matter to me.

    there is a possibility that they might have a pass just for tesco users, like they did with the old 5-visit fun pass which cost almost as much as the annual pass but wasn't as good.

    i'm going to alton towers in feb but we don't need to use the new tesco coupons until march, so i can't really help - tesco will have changed their website by then.

    i have my 2 year old on my photograph at the moment, and friends have done it too. none of them had to buy a pass for their child until the annual pass ran out. husband and eldest need new passes in march but mine, with toddler on, doesn't run out until june end. according to the line he follows on the height chart he will be 105cm by then even without shoes so i can't imagine i will get away with having him in my new photograph :rotfl:

    i will ask at the pass office of course, but most people i know have had to buy passes when their children are 3 or 4. my boy is very tall for his age.

    i just had a sneaky idea - when husband gets his new pass in march maybe the 2 year old will get away with being put onto the new pass with my husband. the height markers at alton towers are all different, as we found out when he was 90cm tall and desperate to go on all the 90cm rides but wasn't tall enough for some of them :rolleyes: and when the eldest was 1.4 and was given a band at oblivion but the nemesis staff ripped it off and refused him :mad: so maybe he'll slouch and be mistaken for under a metre tall. they may not even measure him if he's in a pram with dummy in and cuddling a teddy :D

  • Hi,

    I have been looking at purchsing 3 cards, using my Tesco points, and stumbled upon this link by accident. Can I ask, when using the card at attractions, do you just go stratight in? We are off to London for the weekend in a few weeks and would like to go to Madame Tussauds, London Eye, and the Dungeons, do you think we will experience any difficulties,particulary as it will be Feb half term?

    Thank you for your help, I look forward to hearing from you.

  • Thank you, sarahrjfr, for your fast response, I think I will purchase ASAP!
  • Hi, sorry another question. Does the voucher that Tesco sends you, to exchange for the Merlin card, have a name on it?

    Thank you
