  • Your vouchers are only worth 4 x more when you use them against Clubcard deals. As far as I know nobody on the list has hoovers. You can use them for things like holidays, meals out, days out, RAC membership etc. As to the best price for a hoover, try going onto Kelkoo or something like that.
    If I had known then what I know now . . .

    2 other ways of saving money at Tesco are
    1. cashback sites like quidco (currently 3% cashback for Tesco purchases)

    2. Using online codes one currently offering £5 off - also tesco direct currently offering triple points. Either search this site or ukhotdeals for current codes.

    If you use your vouchers you will get face value only, better to use them for deals. I am using mine for the RAC - would have cost me £200 so a big saving.

    Good luck.

  • or sell them on e-bay , I've made twice their face value by selling them as there wasnt any deals I wanted to trade them in for - then shop around for the best price for your hoover - you wont be tied to tesco to buy it from.
  • If you did decide to go down the ebay route, they are having a 5p insertion fee day tomorrow (Thursday 3rd).
    Remember to add a reserve price to the listing, to make sure they don't sell any less than you're willing to part with them for.

    Isn't Tesco going to stop letting people use vouchers that are in someone else's name? That would kill selling them on eBay, wouldn't it?

    FYI, we got a good used vacuum on eBay last year for something like £25 or £30 including shipping (this was about half the cost of a similar model if it had been new). If your funds are limited and you really need a vacuum, you could always scan eBay and local listings on gumtree.co.uk. You may have to get something other than a Dyson and it may have to be used, but you can find something that will get the job done at a reasonable price. Actually, if you go used, you may be able to find a Dyson in your price range. Good luck!

    I ordered the deals and posted them out to the winning bidders, once the auctions were finished , they had let me know which deals they wanted and I claimed them - none are named - restraunt vouchers and merlin passes
