OK, not sure if this is the right place to post, I've just popped over from DFW where I normally live and which I used to be (now DF! )

Question: I really wanted these earrings at goldsmiths which I had saved my vouchers for. Now they've been converted into tokens I was dismayed today to discover they're in the sale so I can't use my tokens. Does anyone know if I can buy them and something full price, using the vouchers and a credit card, and then return the full price item for a full refund of its value to the CC? The earrings are now 230 and I've got 300 of tokens. Alternatively if anyone thinks it will work with something that's in the sale but over 300 (ie the value of my tokens) I've got something in mind, and being freshly DF have a (little) disposable income now....

Any help massively appreciated, this will be my first treat since uni if I can pull it off!

This should work, but what I would suggest is that you do your buying in one Goldsmiths and your returning in another. Last summer, I bought a watch and a couple of other pieces, using all my vouchers and a bit of cash. I then returned the 2 unwanted pieces to a different branch, got my cash back and a credit for the balance, which I can use at any time.

Hello

Sorry if this has been asked elsewhere, I have searched but cannot find it.

Do Tesco EXPRESS take newspaper MOC's, printable MOC's, farmfoods etc?

And do they take them for items that you havn't bought?

Thanks

Hi,

I was wondering if anybody is in a position to advise me. I have a Tesco Clubcard Plus account where I gain 2 points per £1 spent and I also have a Tesco Clubcard where I get 5 points per £4 spent at Tesco.

Could you tell me if I would get double points on expenditure in line with the double club card points offer that is on at the moment i.e. 4 points per £1 for clubcard plus and 10 points per £4 on the CC? If not, which am I better off using or should I just pay using my debit card to get maximum benefit on points.

Thanks

Dan

Sorry bit confused so hope i'm answering right If you've got a clubcard plus it is definitely best to use that every time and never just use a debit card or you'll be missing out on extra points. The double points is only for total spend so whereas you were getting 2 points for every £1 spent on your cc+ (1 normal cc point and 1 point for using the card) you will now be getting 3 points for every £1 spent (2 normal cc points and 1 point for using card)
Again with the credit card, i assume you've got the newer style card that gives you 1 point for every £4 spent. You would previously have been getting 1 point for using the card and your normal 4 points for using a clubcard so therefore 5 points for every £4 spent. Now you will be getting 9 points for every £4 spent (4 normal points doubled to 8, then your 1 point for using a credit card). HTH

Hi All,

Well, where to start. Ok, i'm completely new to this so I apologise for asking stupid questions in advance.
I would very much like to take my wife somewhere rather exotic in September/October 2010 time as it is our 2nd wedding anniversity. I had intended on doing this on our first anniversity however financially this just was not possible. I am doing everything I can think of to save money for this, including signing up to every single hotel and flight newsletter I can find!
I recently found out about Tesco Clubcard points and swapping them for airmiles, which would be fantastic for the flights and would save me alot of money, however being completely new to this i'm not entirely sure where to start.
I filled my car with fuel yesterday and picked up a temporary clubcard and leaflet, and that is as far as I have got. Now........questions;

1. Is the best thing to go through this whole site and see what has been said before, or will this all now be out of date?
2. I am totally lost with the whole points to vouchers to airmiles thing, is there a simple way of explaining this?
3. I see you can buy temporary Tesco cards on the internet with points already on them. Is this a good way of accumulating them?
4. Can you combine cards, for instance...say I bought a card on the internet, and I also had my own....can I combine the two somehow to make a larger points total for airmiles, or would you have to have the full amount of points on 1 card?
5. My wife does the shopping and she dislikes Tesco's, so the weekly shop will not be done there. Given that I have 8 months to accumulate enough points to get 2 flights to a zone 4 or 5 destination, and I will have to do this by my own purchases....is this realistic and should I actually bother if it is a lost cause?

I'd really appreciate any help and advice anyone can give me....be it good news or bad. Thank you in advance.

Regards

I'm sorry but I don't think you have a chance of accumulating enough airmiles in 8 miles. My husband and both shop in Tesco the majority of the time, do a big online Teco shop for us and my in-laws about once every month, buy all our fuel from Tesco (or Shell who also have an airmiles collection scheme) and buy most other things using an Airmiles Amex card. We hope to have enough airmiles to fly to Chicago (zone 5) about once every two years.

2. I am totally lost with the whole points to vouchers to airmiles thing, is there a simple way of explaining this?.
Yes, every £ spent earns a point except certain areas of the store like fags.



3. I see you can buy temporary Tesco cards on the internet with points already on them. Is this a good way of accumulating them?
You get a temporary card from any store phone the number or fill in the form,. They will send you two keyring cards and one credit card size one you don't but them. They are usually doddgy if you have to buy them. You can also link cards together yours and someone elses etc.

4. Can you combine cards, for instance...say I bought a card on the internet, and I also had my own....can I combine the two somehow to make a larger points total for airmiles, or would you have to have the full amount of points on 1 card?
As I said don't buy them!!. You can combine a few cards on one account.


5. My wife does the shopping and she dislikes Tesco's, so the weekly shop will not be done there. Given that I have 8 months to accumulate enough points to get 2 flights to a zone 4 or 5 destination, and I will have to do this by my own purchases....is this realistic and should I actually bother if it is a lost cause?
Yes and no, You need loads of vouchers for zone four or five as in getting that in eight months unless you spend a good few thousand pounds you won't do it. Go to tesco.com and go to the clubcard bit or call clubcard for anything, but you can spend them on hotels. for every £10 in vouchers you get 4 times as much in deals which means £40 to spend. we are off on the euro tunnel the fare is £132 and it is costing us £30 in clubcard vouchers



Hope this helps

my maths isnt that hot, but you need 5000 airmiles for two Zone 4 flights - £2.50 of clubcard vouchers gives you 60 miles, so 5000/60 x 2.50 = £41

£41 of clubcard vouchers, is 4100 points? you get two points per £ spent, so you need to spend £2050 to get the points?

but as clubcard vouchers are mailed out every Qtr, that means you only have 6m to amass enough points to be able to do what you plan

You can also boost your points by using a Tesco Credit Card - the latest gives you 1 extra point for every £4 you spend. Other people use Clubcard Plus to boost their points even more (don't know if you can get this anymore?)
Also look out for extra points offers in store and online. The latest one with the mobile phones where you spend £15 or £20 and get 1000 points was a good example. You can always sell the phone to reduce your outlay. See here

I think your maths is a bit out, 5000/60 = 83.333.
83.33*2.5 = 208.33
That means you need £210 of vouchers which is 21000 points at 2 points per £ is a spend of £10500. That is a lot to spend on petrol in 8 months.
