  • We've used our vouchers for purple parking at Gatwick for our last two holidays. Excellent, efficient service for such a small outlay.

    I convert my Tesco club points to BA miles, anyone know if this is a good thing to do or not?

    Most views I've seen seem to think it's not the best way of using vouchers. However I used them to up my BA Miles balance to 72000, and saved £700 on four tickets to Paphos in the Summer (using part miles part cash). I guess it really depends on whether you find a flight that you want. Remember they last two years so maybe it's worth keeping them to one side and at the right time, using them the best way possible. I intend on doing this in a years time to decide whether BA Air Miles, Air Miles or a holiday booking would be the way to go.

    Cheers,

    Well I had been jogging along to Tescos with my vouchers in hand - not any more! Wow, I couldn't believe it - my vouchers are worth much more when I don't spend them in Tesco - thanks for opening my eyes!

    I'm not into any of the stuff offered by clubcard deals so I have to spend them in store - unless they have recently added a wine retailer, but that would be in competition with themselves!
    My views are irrelevant - censorship is alive & well!

    I have posted this same question on the Tesco Clubcard thread but havent heard anything back yet so i guess ill try here.

    I am wandering if their is a way to but Disneyland Paris tickets with clubcard vouchers? I know that Airmiles.co.uk sell Disneyland Paris trips, and there are tour operators that sell Disneyland packages that can be bought with tesco CC but is their anyway that i can Disneyland tickets only?????

    Failing that, dont suppose anybody knows where i can get them cheapest?

    Thanks

    Has anyone done this. Is it worth it. The website says for £28.50 in vouchers I can cover myself,husband and our children. HSA will pay 50% of optical & dentist costs to a max per person per year of £35 optical & £40 dental plus 50% of other health costs.

    I always thought HSA wasn't worth it but by paying in vouchers its sort of free so do you think this is a good way to use the vouchers?

    Just tried to book a weekend at a Hilton hotel on line using Tesco vouchers, they have quite a good offer at the moment, £64.50 per room per night to include dinner on the first night, and buffet breakfast each morning.

    Before giving my card details, I thought I would check with the hotel in question to see if there were any special clubcard deals, to be told that their "special" price for Tesco is £84 per night, room only!

    Makes a mockery of using clubcard deals to save money!

    BTW, I also tried Marriott who have a similar good deal, but, yes, you've guessed, special price for Tesco, again more than their usual rate!

    You have been warned!
