What’s the deal?

Walkers has bags of offers on days out, including half price Alton Towers/Chessington/Legoland/City Sightseeing tickets, free National Trust entry, 2for1 pub lunches and many more.

To grab the discounts, you need to collect points from special promotional packs of crisps.

How it works

First search the Walkers Brit Trips website to see which days out take your fancy. Each deal costs a certain amount of points, so the amount of packets to buy depends on the day out you want. E.g. half price Alton Towers Ticket is 20 points
  • Individual Crisp Bags: 2 points
  • Multi-Pack Crisps: 1 point.
Happily, Tesco is doing buy-one-get one free on Variety 21 multi-packs, until 1 April, meaning you can grab 42 points (two Alton Towers half price vouchers) for £3.50. If you spot it cheaper, please post below.

An example of the savings

Alton Towers for two adults. Normal cost: £68 Deal cost: £37.50
Vouchers for half price entry (valid for adults and children) costs 20 points, so for two people you would need to collect 40 bags of crisps, costing £3.50 for the 21-multipack from Tesco. Alton towers tickets normally cost £34 for adults or £24 for kids. So in total you’d save £30 – and have crisps to stuff on your day out too.

How to grab the deal

Once you’ve grabbed a special pack, go to the website, sign up, and enter the special codes on the inside of the packs to bank your points. Points can be collected until 31 October 2008 and all points must be spent by 31 December 2008. Read the full terms and conditions.

Alternative days out deals
  • 2 for 1 at theme parks and attractions nationwide
    Pick up a promotional pack of Tetley Tea (the cheapest is about £1.50) and you get a 2 for 1 voucher which can be used at Alton Towers, Thorpe Park, Madame Tussauds, The Dungeons, Chessington World of Adventures, Legoland, Warwick Castle & Sea Life Centers. See full details
  • 2 for 1 at Zoos nationwide
    Kellogg’s are giving away 2 for 1 zoo/aquarium entry vouchers on special packs of cereal. A typical day out at some zoos can cost a jumbo £46 for a family of four, so this offer is almost zoo good to be true. See full details

  • I saw this on a packet of crisps today. The normal sized bags of crisps have 2 points on each and the lowest redeemable amount is 5 points. I would imagine multipacks have more. Looks really good, especially if you eat crisps anyway. Have a look at the website.

    Promotional packs will be in-store from mid February. The website will be open from 18 February 2008 and will close on 31 December 2008. Points can be collected from 18 February 2008 but cannot be spent until 3 March 2008. Points can be collected until 31 October 2008. All points must be spent by 31 December 2008.

    Nice spot!

    Have I got it right then, if there is 2 pts per bag, then to get a free family membership to National Trust at 25pts I only need buy 13 bags of crisp? Or don't they come in packs of 12 or 24?

    EDIT

    Just seen on website

    Codes on standard 34.5g packs are worth 2 points. Codes on multipacks are worth 1 point for every pack within the multipack e.g., on a 6 bag multipack, the code will be worth 6 points. The points value is clearly indicated on these bags.

    THis wouldnt be family membership-it is family admission to one National Trust property, presumably on one day.
