Have you seen the recent Tesco advert about it’s clubcard offers? It’s true that spend £150 in Tesco and you can opt for a free Cineworld ticket.
The Tesco clubcard deal works on the principal that for every £1 spend, you receive 2 clubcard points and for every 100 points earned you receive a £1 voucher. This £1 can be redeemed up to 4 times it’s value in days out rewards.
This said, 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.
Any thoughts on this one?

Just spotted a days out discount for Alton Towers valid until 31 October 2010.
If you are a signed up member of tesco clubcard deals, then keep an eye out when your next lot of vouchers pop through the door. Included within this paperwork is some additional ‘birthday’, (Tesco’s not yours!), coupons including a 2 for 1 for a Merlin Attraction this season.
Choose from Alton Towers, Chessington, Thorpe Park, Legoland, Warwick Castle, Sea Life centres & more.
Always worth holding on to.
