    You get a PIN code at the end of the three games which needs to be input like the codes on the packets. Website not very clear, but I noticed the Pin codes were ten characters as well. My Pin codes were accepted.
  • Hi all
    With DS1 home from Uni for easter, we wanted to do something a bit special as a family. With four people, all counting as adults, this can be a bit expensive.
    I bought 2 x 21 packs of Walkers (Bogof) and also one single. One pack is still in the garage and the code unlogged, so I have 22 points earned by crisp purchase. But, thanks to ideas from this forum I do go onto the Co-op site daily and do the scratchcard (sadly heard about it after the many codes loophole was closed), and I've logged the newspaper codes. We had managed to accumulate 67!:beer:

    The boys looked at the Brit trips website and asked if we could go to Sea Life. This surprised us! But we had the points to print off 4x half price vouchers. Again, following recommendations from others I printed one in each of our names and we all took ID.
    The bill for entrance was reduced from just short of £60 :eek: to just under £30. I think this may have converted OH into DFW ways!

    I chatted to the guy on the desk and he said that if the vouchers had all been in my name he would have accepted them, but not if they had been in another name. He didn't check any of our ID (although mine would have showed on the debit card).

    We had a really fantastic day. I would never have thought of taking a 16 and 19 yr old somewhere like that. There was loads to look at and do. We could have spent a lot longer there (I think we'd had about 5 hours) but had evening commitments and it was quite a drive home. There was also lots for little ones who seemed to be running around quite happily.
    I think without the Walkers vouchers we wouldn't have considered something like that - or been able to afford it, so we're all well pleased. :T

    Thanks to everyone on the site who lists things like Walkers, Coop scratchcard and newspaper codes.

    Claw back money - which SeaLife did you go to?? We have been to the Birmingham one twice in the last month! (We have the Merlin Annual Passes - thanks to Tesco's!!) We were only there for about 2 hours tho.

    SeaLife are not worth full price tho - mind you, nowhere is!! :)

  • nettos are currently doing boxes of walkers 48 crisps for 3.99, with the half price days out promotion, which then works out at less than 10pence per packet and you still get a cheap day out
    17 March 2008


    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 Ticker 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.

    Grab possible free points

    The Co-op is has a competition to win extra points, and you’re allowed one entry per day. Try your luck

    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
    Other Days Out/ Theatre Restaurants

    Your name is on the print out, at least for the National Trust offer. It is possible the to change the name on the account before printing off a voucher. I think they are valid for a specific date only.

    Has anyone tried using hte Best Western offer yet?

    dont know if anyone else knows this, but on the walkers site, there is also a game where you can win points and other prizes. i found it by accident by clicking on a link from my hotmail account.

    its http://www.walkersbrittrips.co.uk/game/

    ive got up to 40 odd thousand, but it wouldnt let me submit my registration details so im gonna keep trying. might be worth a shot, especially if you play for a while and get the same answers


    why can't i register?
    :T Thanks to all lovely MSE'rs - you are great friends :T

    Thanks for ur reply
    For ppl like me who dont hav a printer it allows u to get the voucher sent out to you rather than u printing it out, but a 2 week wait. But it asks u for the name and address to send it out to. I was wondering about sending one to a friend who does not have the internet. But if i put her name as sender, but my name is on the account. Would it still work?, as better to send it dircetly to her than to me to save a stamp.:rotfl:
