Tesco clubcard reward vouchers; how to make them go further?
Ensure you get 4 times your voucher’s value in reward options. If you spend it on food you only manage to get two times their value! Although Tesco are currently expanding this out to other departments for a limited period of time, this will still only get you two times their value!
Find cost effective deals in the brochure. Although reward vouchers can be redeemed for up four times their value, some deals only effectively offer you two or three times their value. For example you can opt for a free Cineworld ticket for £3 in clubcard vouchers. However it doesn’t cost you £12 for a cinema ticket! For value for money, it would be better spent on rewards such as a Merlin Annual Pass where your vouchers will give you the full 4 times it’s value.
Combine tesco deals with other offers to max out your savings. Use your tesco clubcard reward vouchers wisely to ensure best value. For example for a family of four off to Alton Towers, combine a 2 for 1 voucher with two tesco day entry rewards for a total of £20 in clubcard vouchers, (wise to split into twos at the kiosk to avoid the one offer per transaction!) This way you can bank additional Tesco clubcard reward vouchers for your next day out too!
Additional clubcard points promotions. Clearly this is what Tesco want you to do, but it is worth keeping an eye out for additional points promotions to build your rewards as long as you are buying necessary household items!

Tesco clubcard vouchers can offers value for money and, if used wisely, will save you a fortune on days out!

Our topdogdays mantra is that you don’t have to spend a fortune if you are planning a day out with the kids! Here are some of our top tips to keep the costs down during the summer holidays:
A lego family at Legoland, Windsor
Use a voucher; there are plenty of vouchers and deals around for top visitor attractions around the country. If you are planning a day out to Thorpe Park, Cadbury World or Go Ape to name but a few, check out the deals available before you go – of course topdogdays is the obvious choice!
Use a loyalty card; make use of those loyalty card points you have accumulated – Tesco in particular offers you up to four times its value when you redeem vouchers for days out. For example Legoland Discovery Centre will set you back only £3.50 in clubcard vouchers or Drayton Manor only £7.50 in vouchers.
Don’t waste money on additional spend; take a picnic rather than forking out for over priced food. For ride photography; there’s plenty of photo opportunities around a theme park that will capture the day with a regular camera! If you must buy souvenirs; agree an amount with the kids before you enter the store and stick to your budget.
The tube at Legoland, Windsor
London travel; take advantage of the new Barclays cycle hire in London for those aged 14 and over where the first 30 minutes is free. Remember that children under 11 travel for free on buses, tubes & trams in London. Kids aged between 11 & 15, travel on the tube for maximum of £1 a day with an Oyster photocard.
Take advantage of discount travel offers; invest in a family & friends railcard and take advantage of regional rail offers. London Midland trains are offering 50% discounts on off peak travel in August plus your additional discount with a railcard.
