Has anyone used Tesco clubcard vouchers for money off an holiday?

well thought out of interest I'd check the price at haven for whit week. The price for a caravan with microwave and beds made up for 7 nights is £695!! if you book online you save £133
Now, compare with this.
We're going to Krakow for 6 nights half term week. The apartment we have is £180 for the week. (We're only staying 6 nights but we have booked it for the week and can check out late the last night.) The apartment has beds made up, a fully fitted kitchen with oven mikey, AND a dishwasher and washing machine.
I paid £187 for flights for the 4 of us with easyjet.
So we're paying less for a week there in a superior apartment AND our flights.
How do people pay that much for a caravn when you can go abroad for almost half the price?????I can be brown I can be blue I can be violet and sky. I can be hurtful I can be purple I can be anything you like..Gotta be green gotta be mean gotta be everything more...0 -
Yes, I've had three holidays at Butlins using only CC vouchers, and am going to be booking another shortly. It's the only thing I use the vouchers for, and it gets us about three 4 night breaks a year.
Top tip - if you're going to use on Butlins, DON'T go for standard accommodation - it's the pits!!!
Just been to Minehead standard £78.40 half board top holiday. Basic accommodation but clean, not musty, warm, comfortable bed, fresh clean linen and 2 pillows each, food great choice as buffet style with loads of choice.Titch

Spoke to family when in Minehead they had booked with Tesco vouchers had to pay full price but like said £200 full price cost £50 in Tesco vouchers, which was for 2 Adults and 1 Child.Titch

BTW, no-one should EVER use the vouchers in store - you can sell em on ebay at around twice face value!
All good until someone on the checkouts notices that the names dont match on your clubcard
But I've used them they are worth 4x the ammount, we've been to loads of places with them.0 -

But no-one buying cc vouchers on ebay would be buying them to use instore, ever. They wouldn't pay over face value unless they were asking the seller to convert them to Deals.
I have bought cc vouchers on eBay in the past but I do think the practice has annoyed Tesco and that's why they are now issuing all Deals with a surname (and I think, a postcode) on them aren't they? Never mind, that's another 'Avenue of pleasure' cut off by Tesco, hot on the heels of R&R's demise last year.
Oh, and back on topic, yes, we went to Tenerife last year, five flights paid for by Mr T and his magic cc Deals. Sadly xl.com are no longer on the Deals website so this year I think it will be French Life or Individual Travellers if I get it booked.
Both times we have saved around £2,000 in Deals (that's £500 of cc vouchers) over the course of 3 or 4 quarters. And I hardly spend anything as I use a nice mix of money off coupons for most of my groceries.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

No, a bit shorter - and a brunette with a few annoying grey hairs that reappear as fast as I pull them out!
I see you from your sig that like football, and so do I! But we support a different club in blue (and white). I know we both have a 13 yr old DD though and we would make good shopping buddies - if we lived in the same area, which I don't think we do!PRIVATE 'PCN'?
