Best Tesco Clubcard deals

November 12th, 2010

Tesco clubcard vouchers are arriving in the post at the moment. If you are looking for the best Tesco Clubcard deals, check our top hints and tips:

1. Beat the 6th Dec deadline for Tesco clubcard deals

Currently clubcard points can be redeemed for up to 4 times their value for partner benefits such as hotel & restaurant vouchers, days out tokens etc . However from 6 December this will reduce to just 3 times their value and ‘pay in full rates’ will also increase at the same time.

To max out your benefits, you would be wise to redeem your vouchers before the 6 December deadline. Many deals are valid for a full 6 months once you your points have been redeemed for vouchers so you don’t have to be in a hurry to spend your partner vouchers!

Hands on hints for your Tesco clubcard vouchers

2. Can I retrieve lost or forgotten tesco clubcard vouchers?

Yes, here’s a great tip from moneysaving expert that shows you how to retrieve old tesco clubcard vouchers you’d forgotten all about. This new service from Tesco allows you to check out your current voucher balance and highlights any issued clubcard vouchers that have yet to be redeemed. You can then redeem any remaining vouchers instantly using the online code given.

For all the details, terms & conditions go to retrieve old tesco clubcard vouchers. Well worth a look!

3. Annual Memberships from Tesco Clubcard deals can potentially offer the best value for money in days out.

1. Not only do annual memberships give you unlimited access to your favourite top attractions, they often come with plenty of additional benefits to maximize your savings. Check out these options:

Merlin Annual Pass: this gains you entry to Alton Towers, Thorpe Park, Warwick Castle and plenty more. In addition you can secure Early Ride Time at Alton Tower, (great for queue busting), free parking plus 20% off food, drink & souvenirs at many of these settings!

English Heritage Membership; with over 400 historic settings to choose from throughout England, not only are you gaining new places to discover but helping to conserve our heritage to boot!

4. What about hotel vouchers & Tesco clubcard deals?

Redeeming your tesco vouchers for hotel rewards is another good way of making that mini-break affordable. Currently every £10 will secure you £40 worth of hotel vouchers although this will be changing from 6 December too. Check out our ideas for topdog luxury with tesco clubcard hotel vouchers.

5. Any new deals for Tesco clubcard vouchers?

Yes, Disnyeland Paris 2011 is on offer for just £29.50 per person in Tesco vouchers. This is a pay in full deal and offers 1 child or 1 adult a ticket for Disneyland Paris, offering access to both Disneyland Parks during the one day.

6. Is it worth making use of clubcard double exchange offer?

The clubcard double exchange is currently back on and effectively offers you a chance to double your money in store until 5 December 2010, (restrictions apply).

We personally think your vouchers are better spent on days out rewards, hotel stays and ferry crossings where you can redeem your tesco clubcard vouchers for up to four times their value before 6 December!

Tesco clubcard deals; how to max out your benefits

October 23rd, 2010

Ensure you max out your benefits with Tesco clubcard vouchers.

1. If you spend them in store, you only manage to save the value of the voucher, (or just two times their value when voucher exchange promotions are running.)

2. Redeem your tesco clubcard points before the 6 December to ensure you receive up to four times their value. More information on changes being introduced by Tesco at Tesco clubcard benefits reduced.

3. From 6 December, it is still more cost effective to redeem your clubcard points for vouchers at three times their value rather than in store at cost!

Find cost effective deals in the brochure.

1.Whilst reward vouchers can be redeemed for up three/four times their value, some deals effectively offer you less than this.

2.For value for money, calculate how the vouchers are best spent for your family taking into account other promotions, vouchers available and the needs of your family.

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, (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!

Rollercoasters galore

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!

Annual Memberships from Tesco Clubcard deals can potentially offer the best value for money in days out.

1. Not only do annual memberships give you unlimited access to your favourite top attractions, they often come with plenty of additional benefits to maximize your savings. Check out these options:

Merlin Annual Pass: this gains you entry to Alton Towers, Thorpe park, Warwick Castle, Legoland, Chessington, London Eye and plenty more. In addition you can secure Early Ride Time at Alton Tower, (great for queue busting), free parking plus 20% off food, drink & souvenirs at many of these settings!

English Heritage Membership; with over 400 historic settings to choose from throughout England, not only are you gaining new places to discover but helping to conserve our heritage to boot!

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

Tesco clubcard deals reduce in value

October 20th, 2010

Tesco clubcard deals have been an excellent way to cut the cost of days out. However these Tesco clubcard deals will soon reduce in value due to changes that Tesco are introducing from 6 December 2010.

Currently clubcard points can be redeemed for up to 4 times their value for partner benefits such as hotel & restuarant vouchers, days out tokens etc. However from 6 December this will reduce to just 3 times their value and ‘pay in full rates’ will also increase at the same time.

Whilst the good news is that double points will continue when you shop, (except for tesco petrol that is returning to 1 point per £2 spent), from 6 December it will mean you will need more points to receive the equivalent value in vouchers.

So what to do? The next round of reward vouchers should be heading your way at the beginning of November. To max out your benefits, you would be wise to redeem your vouchers before the 6 December deadline. Many deals are valid for a full 6 months once you your points have been redeemed for vouchers so you don’t have to be in a hurry to spend your partner vouchers!
