Walkers Brit Trips - Are the Deals Any Good (NO CODES PLEASE)

Hi

Have seen several threads about getting points, or asking for codes on the Walkers Brit Trips deal, but information about which are the best deals seems hard to come by.

So I would be very greatful if people who had used the codes could idnetify how useful/good value they were (maybe on a scale of 1..10 enjoyable or as a top ten best discounts).

After a few responses I will edit this post to update what seems to be people favorites and/or best value

Thanks

Mark

    I recently cashed 20 points for family day out at national trusts brownsea island. good value just had to pay for the ferry. National trust seem the best deal to me most of the other 2 for 1 offers are available from other sources.

    What should we expect for free !
    Winnings 2007 = £463 winnings 2008 = £3000
    2009 prizes = Tinkerbell DVD, Lipstick, apertif dish, London day out, secret service xbox game.

    I would also say the National Trust days out are the best value deals. We recently cashed in 25 points for a family pass and it would have cost us about £16.

    Thanks Guys

    Unfortunately (or fortunately) we are annual members of NT (just renewed as well) so I already get it for free (at the point of usage).

    I have avidly collected nearly 130 brit points (have 4 crisp eating (school age) monsters under the stairs so getting through 28 packs a week minimum)

    So - can anyone else give me any suggestions as to what I should do with my vouchers

    I have used 50 points to book a Haven holiday in July for 8 of us in a Superior Plus caravan with all bed linen for 4 nights. Although it is stated as 50% off, comparison with Haven website was more like 28% cheaper.

    Better than nothing I guess.

    We used our Brit trips to go to Thorpe Park last Thursday. Every 20 points got us in half price. There were 4 of us so we saved £64 :j Park was empty, got on all the rides with minimal q'ing- lovely day out for the family :T

    NT free family pass is only available in England and Wales, in Scotland it is 2 for 1, we paid £10 with the Brit Trips voucher for 4 of us to access the grounds of Culzean Castle, family ticket should have been £20 and they put it through as 2 seniors.
    HTH FiFi :)

    OK Thanks - I guess I will just need to look harder at what's good. I just have this underwhelming feeling when I look through - you know like its just old offers you could get anywhere.

    Anyone been excited by anything they saw on brittrips - maybe I am just too MSE-cynical

    That's exactly how I feel as well - nothing very exciting. :confused:
