New Area For Deals Information & Questions

[Gizmos]

To make it easier we've added a separate section for just Deals Information etc.

Hopefully this will make it easier to find the information that you require.

[Ladyshopper]

Wow, you were busy! I wondered where my thread had gone. Great idea to split it all up, will make it much easier to look for deals info now.

some of the threads may also have been merged if they were about similar subject - a Virgin sticky should appear in the near future

excellent idea- well done.

Excellent -- I suggested this on LPF about eighteen months ago!

sorry if you asked here as well - there are still some posts to move into here and hope for a sticky Virgin thread soon

[traceya89]

this is a really good idea and helps me immensely and I am sure it will help others greatly. thanks again

[sancho]

I'm still not getting how i do this. Lets pretend it's next January and i've got, say, £100 worth of tesco vouchers, how do i get them converted into Deals (should i do them all at once? or as i receive them?) and how do i then go about booking a holiday? Can't seem to find this information anywhere!!

Is there somewhere i could get a quote too, so i know how much it will definitely cost, and how much of the holiday we can get through the deals

Sorry if it's been asked before, thought i best use the stickies!

[tyroleandancer]

All the information re holidays is on the Tesco deal section of the website. Decide what you are saving for and work out approx how much it will cost by ringing the tour operator.
A quote online will not be true as you can't take advantage of discounts when using deals.
Once you know roughly how much your holiday is, wait until you are ready to book or have enough vouchers.
Divide your holiday cost by 4 and this will tell you roughly how many vouchers you will need
When you are ready to convert them into deals you can either exchange online or by post

[sancho]

Thanks, who do i then send the deal vouchers to?

[Eccle]

This link explains how to order http://www.tesco.com/clubcard/deals/p.aspx?id=howtoorder

Also, if you're interested in holidays then have a look here http://www.tesco.com/clubcard/deals/browse.aspx?N=4294967232&bid=HHolidays This lists all the holiday companies currently available. The terms and conditions for each one regarding what they actually charge are in the pdfs under each one.

[sancho]

Thanks, i think i understand how to get them now, just not sure what to do with them then!!

I'm wanting to go to Florida i think, is there a best time to book it? would it be any cheaper to book in January say than March?

[Eccle]

I think the only company you can go to Florida with is Virgin, and for them you have to pay the full brochure price, not the price it will quote you online, so the sooner you book it the better to make sure you can get the dates you want. Might be worth ordering their brochure now so you know what you need to get points wise.

Once you've got the deals vouchers, you ring up a special number for Virgin to book the holiday, then need to send the vouchers to them within a few days.

[Grace & Favour]

I think the best thing you can do Sancho is to ring the travel company and ask them . . or actually have a look at their website and work out want you want to do first . . . . it's much better done that way round, than asking other PTS members to do it for you!

[misscharlie]

HIya, I'm new to the forum. Joined yesturday, as loads of people from mse had mentioned the site!

I only joined Tesco's yesturday. So very new, but his thread has anwsered most questions I have its really helpful!

1 thing i'm not so sure about is, can you use 2 bonus coupons ie 100x2 on 1 purchase ie huggies wipes?

Many thanks xx

Welcome to PTS, I expect your question and my answer will be moved elsewhere onto a thread but you can use 2 huggies vouchers on 1 item if the vouchers have got different barcodes on, or as they are on bogof you can use 2 with the same barcodes as the till will recognise that you've bought 2 :)

[Betty Boo]

Hope one of you lovely people can help me!!!
Just about to convert my deals online but having never done this before i have a couple of questions.
I have over £400 of vouchers that i want to convert to deals to use with XL.COM these are spread over 3 accounts all with the same surname and one account is a Tesco credit card account. My guess is that i need to log into all accounts seperately to convert each of the vouchers on that account.
Is this correct?
Also how do i get to the Tesco credit card account as i have never used this as an online account before?
Two of the vouchers have different numbers and i'm guessing that one is on the old credit card number before it expired.
I'm a bit confused?!?!?!

Thanks in advance.

[Maverick]

Hi Betty you dont have to log in to each account seperetley you can do them all together, hope that helps x

[Betty Boo]

Thanks Maverick,
that's brilliant. just ordered all of them on line.
I shall eagerly await them now so i can book up a nice holiday.
Have a rep!

[colinzy]

Hi all,
Sorry if what i'm about to ask sounds a bit dense,
i'm a bit confused.I have 4 accounts:1 in my name,
1 in hubbies name, both of these have plastic c/c's.
Then 2 other online accounts.How do i get the deals in my
hand? I'm new to this so in the past when i recieved vouchers
in the post i'd just use them as money off my shopping,but now i
obviously need to save these.I've trawled through a lot of threads
but can't quite seem to get the answer i need.
Again i apologize for sounding a bit dim.
Thanks in advance.:):):)

[mutley muppet]

Another dim question. :rolleyes:

I have £39.50 in clubcard vouchers and am just about to convert them to XL. deals... when I go to "buy" them on Tescos website, it only lets me select £38.75. What happens with the odd few quid? Does it get credited back to my account or do I just lose that odd bit?

Thank you.

Colinzy, just log in to your account online and go to Clubcard Deals, choose the deal you want and click on more, then you just convert however many vouchers you wish to use. Anything you don't need is put back on to your account as points, i.e. if you want to convert £7.50 to deals but only have a £10 voucher then the £2.50 goes back to the account.

[smitheim]

Hi, has anyone stayed at ramada jarvis hyde park with deals before? Have just booked provisionally for myself, dh, dd1 and dd2 - just thought I'd ask for anyone's experiences before I actually convert tokens ;)

DH and I used to stay a couple of times every year courtsey of Mr T, Its not bad for a London hotel, we loved it because it is just across the road from Hyde Park, on the central line so easy to get around, I think we used Lancaster gate and just a couple of minutes walk to the Hotel, it is also walking distance to Nottinghill Market (Saturday) and on Sunday there is a large display of paintings which you can buy or just browse that starts just outside the hotel and continue down the Bayswater Road. Hope that helps, I am sure you will have a fab time, so much to see and do.:)

[smitheim]

Thanks for your replies - have repped you both :) That's a good site for reviews :D Still undecided though (what am I like :rolleyes:) Not sure how family - friendly they are :confused:

[taffyswife]

Just a quick question.

I want to convert some of my vouchers, to use at Folly Farm in S Wales.

I have checked their website - and for 2 adults and 1 child it will be nearly £20.

If I order £15 worth of voucher - can I pay the balance in cash? or do I have to pay the full amount in vouchers?

We want to go to Tenerife in june 2008. It's with Cosmos (Checked on XL but no luck).

My clubcard deals vouchers that come with the mailing are sitting upstairs safely.

At what point do i convert them to deals tokens?

Should i save them all up & do it at the last minute when i have enough to book?

Or should i do them in *lots* of about £100 as we go along?


Am new at this :D

Bear in mind the Deals tokens are only valid for 6 months so if you get them now you may have to muck around changing them back again later. If your Clubcard vouchers are nearly expired then I think others here say they will put the points back on your account if you ask. It depends when you are planning to book the holiday really.

I wouldn't worry too much about how many at a time, but if it was me I wouldn't want to send more than a couple of hundred pounds worth at a time, just in case of them going missing and all the hassle you have then to sort that out.

I'd probably send them your CC vouchers to change for Deals vouchers in batches of £200 or so starting no more than 5-6 and no less than 1 months before you intend to book.

No you don't get the incentive offers/freebies or discounts - you pay the standard subscription price. Obviously you are getting 75% off that though effectively.

oooo. Didn't realise the deals tokens have such a short date. Clubcard vouchers, i think the earliest one expires aug 2008 and i want to go in June :)

I was going to book around feb 2008 time,so might be best to change them up in late january after the christmas post is out the way

Thank you :love:

[Shortie]

Dom

Thanks Dom...

I think I'll pay the full price then (£19.99 at the mo in the Mag) as I not only get the products, but the £6-odd in tokens would be £24 off my holiday next year (which is what we are really saving for), so would end up being an extra £20-odd pounds to add from my money instead.

I suppose because I'm (normally) saving them for something big (i.e £7-800 deals needed) that I don't think I'll reach anyway, I figure it won't make much difference in the long run. But if I don't get the incentive, I'llgo through the mag.

Thanks again, tried to rep you but I've already done it recently so it wouldn't let me, sorry. Please take this a a rep? :)

Hi Patty,
It would be worth checking out XL nearer the time, we went to Tenerife with them in June this year, at the moment there's not a lot of choice of hotels for June 08 on the website I assume they add more nearer the time and the moment the only brochure available for download is Summer 2007.
The hotel we stayed in and travel from Bristol our local airport was over £ 400 cheaper with XL than the same hotel flying from Luton with Cosmos.

I know this is a silly question but.... I was looking at how to convert your vouchers and on the website for hilton they have the £2.50 with + and -, say that hilton said it would cost you £200 how much would you need to put in the £2.50 box??? - I thought it would be £50 worth am i right? thanks

I would say yes £50 sandi

[sooty1987]

I would say yes £50 sandi

Hi, I booked with Hilton using cc deals for 18 August and 21 October and 29 October. I booked over 2 weeks ago now, sent off tesco Hilton tokens by recorded delivery, phoned to get Hilton to confirm they have received the tokens, yes they have, as of today still no letter back from Hilton with the Hilton vouchers, now getting a bit worried about stay on 18 August!

Any help appreciated, many thanks.

[shudd1967]

Odered my XL vouchers online on Monday and still not recieved them. Checked on my orders and they still have not even been despatched yet it said when i order them they depatch within 24hours!!!!! :mad:

I have seen a holiday i want to book for October, already lost the one I really wanted cos it took a while for my vouchers to come!!

very frustrating!!

[tiger]

Don't take any notice of what it says about not being despatched. Some of mine from months ago are showing as not despatched.
I expect it's taking slightly longer than usual to send them out as so many people are exchanging their recent mailings.

[shudd1967]

Thats what I am hoping, its just that I had a new card a week or so ago with my name correctly spelt on it and so I changed my number to the new one online ready for any shopping.

I had recieved a voucher for a fiver off some shopping on direct with my mailing and tried to use it yesterday and it would not accept it! when I rang to place the order manually the lady said it was because it was targetted for my old number.........................so now just a tad concerned!!:(

[shudd1967]

Vouchers have come this morning - Fantastic!!!!!!

Booked my holiday - off to Turkey in October and the guy who served me at XL was very helpful!

[lizzie18]

I know its been covered in here somewhere im sure - but can i just ask quickly when converting by post do you send them recorded/special delivery or just normal ? This is the 1st time i have actually converted any - was getting a bit tight with them and think its time to let go ! LOL

[smitheim]

Hi lizzie, I would prob use special delivery if they are of a high value but it is much quicker to convert them online - most people on here receive their deals within 2-3 days ;)

I am about to use my vouchers too book a Major service for out bus (7 seater) cost os £149.99 which is £37.50 in CC vouchers. I have never used any of my vouchers before can someone please tell me how I do it?

Can I do it all online? Do I need to call and book the servicer first?

[Maverick]

With servicing you can book in first, or you may get away with booking in online? You can order online if they have a code on them, if old school they need to be sent off.

I am off to book the service now :eek:

Booked in - it was sooo easy

[Lilmiss]

Can I ask... when exchanging large amounts of points into deals tokens is there a number you should ideally 'exchange' in one go. Ie if you have hundreds of pounds worth for a holiday should you do a hundred pounds worth ( £25 of clubcard coupons) at a time? Esp if youve been taking advantage of lots of 1000 points free when you spend Y amount accross yours and your husbands accounts...
Or doesnt it matter?
Reading a thread about someone getting banned from the scheme made me worry!

[ells2123]

Hi everyone, i have been loitering on PTS for a while now, collecting extra clubcard points with all your helpful hints and tips - BF and i are hoping to save for a holiday.

Now i have a deals question that i was hoping someone can help with?
We both have a clubcard account - one in his name and one in mine, he collects points but the vast majority are on my card. We also have a clubcard credit card regsitered in my name and to my clubcard but with an additional CC in his name.

My question is that when we have finally collected enough points for the hol will we be able to transfer all of the vouchers - those in his name and those in mine? Obviously we have different surnames so now i am worried that they will not honour all of the vouchers for one deal?

I hope that makes sense and all our point saving has not been in vain!! Thanks for alll your help, any advice would be gratefully received.

:)

[Lilmiss]

It worked fine with eurotunnel, we 'spent' £70 worth from my account and £30 from Hubbys.
Have no idea with any of the other operators etc though

[minnehoma]

Hi everybody,
I am wanting to start converting my vouchers to deals online. I have more than one account, all with the same surname. When I convert them, do they arrive with my clubcard number on as well as the surname? If so, does it matter that there will be numerous different account numbers?thanks in advance.

Hi, i'd like to book a holiday next year and am trying to get a rough idea of the amount of cc vouchers that i'll need. If I go onto the Virgin website for example and get a price, do I just use the final price that is given excluding the discount that it shows or do I need to get a price a different way?

Hi Omega, your suggestion will give you a very good idea of the deals needed.

You could, of course, always give the Virgin Girls a call . . but read the following thread first - you'll find it extremely useful!!!!

http://www.paidtoshop.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=10718

(and if you order too many vouchers - you can always return them to Tesco & they'll put them back on your account of course!)

MfI are no longer deal partners, sorry

[lmcg123cat]

Hi, I would like to order deals soon for Cosmos. The problem I have is my main account my surname is spelt wrong it has an e on the end and shouldn't have. I have been online ages ago and amended my details but my clubcard vouchers are still coming through with misspelt name. What would be the best way of getting round this without contacting CS. I do have other accounts with it spelt correctly should I use these accounts to convert them or would that draw attention to me.

Thanks

[gargoyle]

I want to order a mag subscription for £9 but the smallest voucher I have is £18.50. How do I do this? I don't want to waste it as I'm saving towards a few days out in March too.

[Dominic]

Use it and they credit the change back to you for your next statement in February. It will appear around the end of the quarter before they zero again. Done it myself.

[gargoyle]

Can I use it for two by ordering together, or do I have to do it all separately? First timer I'm afraid.

[Dominic]

With mag subscriptions you order the subscriptions you want, they send a voucher and you send that off with your order (IIRC) to the supplier so you should be able to order two at a time.

[gargoyle]

Thanks, tried to rep but I have to spread it around first :)

Mixed up clubcards


I changed my clubcard nos to use some temp cards as I did not have a plastic card to collect H&B.

I now have vouchers in the same name but from 2 different clubcards , I know before you could just put them through any account but I wondered if the advice has changed as when you go to order now it says you can only use vouchers linked to the clubcard account.

I have searched but having a wee panic now as obviously i don't want to lose them as have just booked my hols.

thanks for your help

[Deedee]

Does anyone know the length of the expiry date on the Virgin deals tokens! I.E
If I ordered a shed load now, then waited for Feb mailing and then convert those, would the ones I order now still be valid?


TY peeps


EDIT! Found the answer - 6 months!

[dibdabs]

I wonder if anybody can help. I am relatively newish to the tesco thingy and enjoying getting points and benefitting from the moc's advise on here. I have recieved my clubcard mailing and for the first time have accumulated £95.00 and am delighted which equates to nearly £400 in deals. The last quarter I also got a sizeable amount but not as much. I am looking to put it towards a family holiday or weekend break etc. Has anybody exchanged their deals for Airmiles and if so is it better value to do this than going down the route of XL holidays or virgin? Any help would be appreciated

[Shimmer]

XL have now left tesco deals, don't know a lot about airmiles but someone will be along soon I expect.

[CrystalTips]

Is there a list somewhere, like that on the online codes, that tells you which deals come with a name on them & are therefore non transferable?

I'm trying really hard to increase my points for deals, but will more than likely have to add funds :eek:. So may end up buying from ebay but don't know which ones are non transferrable.

If there isn't something already, would this be a good idea to start?

CT x :love:

Hello all,

I've lurked here for a while, but now found the courage to post. You all seem a lovely community. :)

I have just over £ 100 worth of clubcard points in my account. (Thank You J&J!!) If I understand correctly, this is convertibleto £ 400 of Goldsmith vouchers using Deals.

My Clubcrad account is set to "automatic transfer" to British airways at the end of each quarter. So I never get paper vouchers. So if I have say £100 worth today, they will only go to BA in February. So can I go online before that happens and still redeem my £ 100 vouchers for Goldsmiths say this week?

Thank You.

[Grinder]

Welcome Booboo.. I think if Ive read your post correctly you wont be able to as you need the codes from the paper vouchers..

[purpleprincess]

I wonder if anybody can help.

I have £50 worth of deal tokens S5006 left, can they be used for anything else apart from the Hilton Hotels

[tyroleandancer]

s coded deals can be used on any deal that does not have the buy in full logo next to it
you can use them in
goldsmiths
restaurants
days out
Johnsons cleaners
plus many more
Take a look in the deals brochure or on the Tesco website :)

[JPR]

I may well have missed this on the Tesco website but a relative (same surname) has given me some CC vouchers. Since she has a different address am I able to order Deal vouchers with them?

I would hate to think I can only use them instore but I seem to think that is the case.
Thanks.

[chardonnay]

hi, i need some advise re goldsmiths. i understand the minimum spend is over 200 quid so i will need to change at least 50quid into deals and that they come named. we have a few clubcard accounts, half in my surname and half in fiance's surname and we have one joint account (2 seperate clubcards merged). we would like to use up some of the vouchers for the other accounts would goldsmiths accept half in my surname and half in fiance's surname?

The vouchers will need to be sent to her address when converted to deals, but with the same surname you can use them for holidays etc - only a problem if the surname isn't someone who's travelling.

[happybunny]

i hope to book to las vegas for nov 08, me, oh and his sister, holiday price approx £2100, can we paid our bit eg £1400 buy deals and she pay her portion in cash, if so would the whole lot need to be settled at the time of booking or could the cash follow 8 weeks before departure. thanks in advance for any replies.

[joaniemerc]

Happybunny - I'm sure when using deals (either for the whole amount or part of the amount) the whole lot has to be paid at the time of booking.

can anyone else confirm this, as i do not want to ask sil to pay £700 up front if we can get away with paying the cash closer to departure.

thanks thanks joaniemerc for replying

[Gizmos]

i think you have to pay all you are paying in deals up front but th remainder can be paid in the normal way ie about ten weeks before departure

[pollyanna_11]

Hi Giz

don't you have to pay for deposits though if you aren't paying the whole amount in deals? There are five of us planning a holiday, but I am paying for just my three, so if I have enough outright for my three in cc vouchers, will we still be expected to pay 5 lots of deposit up front when we book because we haven't got enough to pay outright in cc vouchers? Hope that makes sense... I know what I mean but I am struggling to put it into words!

TIA

As long as you are registered at the same address, you can order the vouchers through just one of the accounts, and then the deals vouchers will just come with that surname on.

[Eccle]

I'm pretty sure you'd have to pay 5 deposits in cash in that situation. I booked tonight and paid the majority in Deals, but paid £120 each deposit in cash.

Newbie help please!

I hope I am posting in the right place, only discovered tesco points on Saturday. I have spent hours reading, my mind is now a blur.

Is there a points/deals calculator somewhere?

I failed miserably at maths! I am dreaming of taking my little girl away next year and trying to work out how much points/deals I would need.

[ssparry]

Say for example, the holiday I would like would cost £1500 - how much deal vouchers would I need? Do I divide by 4?

Sorry to appear a bit on the simple side -

Welcome to PTS
Times your points by 4

100 points = £1 x 4 = £4
1000 points = £10 x 4 = £40

and so on:)

Wow, this all seems to good to be true.

One more thing, sorry - how long does it take for points to get added to my account eg - yesterday I got 100points, today another 100points but they are not added to my total when I check my account online?

Hi, I'm trying to find a way of staying at a premier inn before we go across the channel (courtesy of Mr.T of course for the eurotunnel) and they don't seem to be on deals. i have a few leisure vouchers (from pigsback!!) I can use at Premier inn, is there anyway I can use Tesco deals to get more leisure tokens ?

[dolly]

Could someone advise me on Cosmos villas please as I would like to book for October half term. I'm not sure if Tesco deals do villas? I have to fly on a sat and return on a sat and they seem to be all weds changeovers?
Is this right?

I've read that this has caused problems for others, so may be best to convert them on a/c that they've been sent to, to avoid letters from Clubcard.

[Eccle]

It's safest to do them on the accounts they were sent to, especially if it's different surnames as well.

[ninja_ang]

Thanks, it was just that I need them in the surname that is not on them, so was hoping to do it this way! Oh well, will have to use them for something else!

Hi
Am about to convert vouchers into Virgin deals

We have one account in my name (original card dating back to year dot with majority of points on. One in DH name (same surname, not so many point) and a credit card with alot of points on also.
The credit card is in joint names but not registered online as I wished to keep 2 separate accounts.
My question is how do I convert the credit card points? Do I register it online, or can I log into one of our accounts and order through it?

Thanks

[Beej]

You can print off a form from the website and send you vouchers in by post. HTH

[mummytotwo]

Ok i have about £250 worth of clubcard tokens that i want to convert into deals they are over 4 accoutnand 2 address. They max I have is £140. Is it okay to process these. I am also waiting for about £400 of voucher in the Feb statement. Shall i do some now? And if I do should i get them convert of just one account on each address, so I get 2 lots in the post or should I get them done on the account they were received on.


Hope this makes sense but I don't want to get this wrong.

[Silent Bob]

Hi all, no doubt been asked a thousand times before, but just want to clarify.

I've got vouchers to change into Motorpoint vouchers, all on one account. As they are greater than £500, should I do them all at once, or £500 worth an hour/a day? Have read aboout security limits, etc. Hoping to pick the car up at the beginning of next week, so don't really want any hold ups. Was going to do them by internet rather than post. Not got anything to hide, all genuinely earned!

Seems the max you can exchange at once using the internet is £998.75 so is this ok to go up to this?

Cheers all.

[minnehoma]

Hi everybody.
I am wanting to book a holiday with cosmos for me, hubby & DD plus my parents. My parents have a different surname to me, hubby & DD.

I have approx £1680 in deals and my parents have approx £200 in deals and the cost of the holiday comes to approx £2500. As it will be one holiday booking but with 2 different surnames but one of the surnames only has a small amount of deals, does it matter? IFYSWIM..........

will cosmos only acccept, in deals vouchers, with my surname on, the equivelant to the cost of the holiday i.e. £1400? and then accept my parents approx £200 in deals vouchers and then want the rest in cash or can i, in effect, pay some towards my parents cost of the holiday with deals with my name on?

Does anybody understand what I am asking? ? ? I have totally confused myself now! :shocked:

Thanks in advance :)

[Beej]

I think I understand what you're saying. You can use any amount of Deals so long as the people travel have the same names as are on the voucher. So yes you can use your named Deals to pay towards your parents part of the holiday. HTH

[minnehoma]

Many thanks for your swift response.

I am totally delighted I can do this for them. They have held off booking the holiday waiting for us and because of this the price has gone up by about £500. They only started collecting last 1/4 so havent done too bad, but I have some excess and will gladly use it to compensate their cost.

I have tried to rep you, but I get a message that i need to spread something before i can rep you.. what does this mean?

thanks again Beej

[MrsTom]

I converted some vouchers to use at Tootsies, but my plans have changed and we are going into London at the weekend and I was thinking about using them at Planet Hollywood.

It doesn't state a restaurant name on the vouchers so am I right in thinking that I can use them at any restuarant that accepts deals?

Thanking you in advance!

[dfawcett]

Can't find the answer, but if I have missed it then sorry.

Regarding the next mailing and names being specified on all deal vouchers issued, does anyone know if it will include the initial? Or is it a case of wait and see, in which case I'm not going to use my dogs and cats to collect points leading up to the new system being implemented.

If you get my point.

[Donpacifico]

I have booked holiday with Cosmos and have £150 in Deals left over, can these be used on any other deals or do i have to return them to be re credited to my account.

[SuzyWoo]

You can use them for any other 'S' code deal. Or return them to the address on the back of the voucher.

a friend has just given me her clubcard voucher (£3) which expires 29-02-08, i have converted it to deals today.
firstly, they asked if this is my account, i said yes, it was my tesco account and registered address is this correct.
secondly, i could only convrert £2.50 and the rest will be recredited but to which account?

any help appreciated, i am a points collector not a spender!!!! i have 2 years worth (£3200) waiting for a nice holiday.

[Maverick]

if you used a token not issued to you, at a different addy you may encounter problems here.
You will be asked to call cs, and if you dont the order will be cancelled.

I have just received my vouchers for this quarter which obviously have my name on them. My fiance has just received his too with his name on them. My question is: if we want to apply for a Tesco Clubcard deal - we are aiming to book a weekend away before our wedding - can we send a mixture of vouchers off - i.e. vouchers which have my name on and vouchers with his name on? Or won't they get accepted? Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated. thanks Sue

[evosy1978]

Hello is this correct.

Ive just bought a clubcard deal on the teso website and it asked me to enter my 16 digit numbers/letters which are on each cc voucher. I done this and i needed to do it a few times to get the total amount i needed. It said i will reiceve in the next 2 days, but I thought i had to send my vouchers off to them???#

[mummytotwo]

It is the deal voucher that you have just purchased that need to be sent to the relevant firm. So if you have bought holiday voucher then you will need to send them to Virgin/ Cosmos etc. If you are buying jewellery you take the deal vouchers with you to the shop etc...

[taffyswife]

I have got some clubcard deals to use up before the end of March. They are S code ones.

I can use them to pay for admission to Whipsnade zoo, but just wondered if I can use them to pay to take the car into the zoo as well?

Hi. I am just about to pop my converted tokens into the post to send via Special Delivery to Cosmos. Just noticed that in the middle of each one it states 'Booking Ref....................' Do I need to fill each one in with the booking ref I got from Cosmos when I booked?
Any help very gratefully received. Thanks. :)

yes you do you need to write it on each one- that way if they go missing in their office-then they relate to your booking only :)

[Kina]

Anyone know who covers holidays paid for with deals? (holiday insurance wise)

TIA :)

[tyroleandancer]

I'm sure my friend had her Deals insured with Cosmos
I'll ask

[tyroleandancer]

When my friend booked her hols. she was told that the holiday insurance that she could take out with them would cover the vouchers it was £100. Its itemised as Insurance Premier and is with Rock Insurance Services. xx

she booked with Cosmos

[Kina]

Hmm that seems quite expensive to what I've had before (without tesco cover). Not sure whether just to go for it and get cover elsewhere, my main concern is medical costs when we're out there.

But thank you anyway, have repped you :)

[wolves]

I had this dilema a few weeks back when we booked and I rang a few companies who confirmed that we would not be covered, so I went ahead and booked Tesco just to be on the safe side.

http://www.paidtoshop.co.uk/showthread.php?t=30147 has a few companies mentioned on it, but if you search this section for "insurance" theres a whole days reading!

[dealtaker]

I would really enjoyed the Flamingo Hilton. Its relaxed and central for a very reasonable price. I would avoid the Stratosphere that a lot of tour operators list as its so far from the main strip. Bellagio given an open budget, we had breakfast there every morning at Buffet, amazing giant crab legs were very popular!

[hidetheplastic]

Did a search and couldn't find answer to this. DH and I have diff surnames so deals vouchers will be in two names. Will this cause a problem if we want to combine them to convert to deals?

All are at same address.

It will be fine if you are booking a holiday and are both travelling. HTH

Not sure
Check Tesco.com or the letter that came with our Deals to see if it says where you can use them

[Freestyle]

Hi

I have checked the letter and I know on the Virgin ones I got last year that it did say you could use them for any deal, but it does not mention this on the Motorpoint one, just wondered if anyone had used them for anything else - guess its gonna cost me £22 - kids and their spur of the moment plans!! Thanks

Sorry if it's already been asked, but does anyone have a list of which deals come with name/post code on and which just come as plain vouchers ?

With Virgin you have to book accommodation for the whole of your stay, but people book the cheapest hotel available and then don't use it. If you go with Cosmos you can book a Flydrive and not book any accommodation. HTH

yes you can order numerous deals with the same voucher have done this many times

[Beej]

What is the breakdown of your CC vouchers. Have you just got one voucher for £42? If you have then you can order how many Deals you want but the balance will be credited to your account for next quarters mailing. If it is spread over a few vouchers just use the vouchers to the value you want to spend. IYSWIM

Sorry I think I may have misunderstood. You can order different Deals using the same vouchers as thehagman has said.

I think you will have the remainder credited bcak to your account. That's what has happened to mine before. However you can use your vouchers on any other
deal that doesn't have the ‘Buy in Full’ logo next to it in the brochure, but cannot be used for Goldsmith, Motorpoint, Hotels or Holidays.

So have a look at what else you may use them on and order away!:D

Can anyone tell me how long it takes for change from Deal vouchers take to be recredited back into your account to use for other vouchers.
I have just had to use a £46.00 voucher as part of a cosmos deal and i had £8.50 in change to be given back to my account.

Also what happens when you pay for a holiday with deal vouchers and the face value of the deals are more than the price of the holiday, how do they credit you money back??

All help really appreciated as first time deal user here (as you can see)...

[mhoc]

Not the same but when we went to London, a Novohotel with deals, the ammount we had in deals was an overpayment of about £4 so we had a newspaper each morning. But afterwards we wondered if there was an overpayment of say £20 we could have set this against drinks in the bar or an evening meal at the bar maybe or anything else charged to the room?

The change will go back on towards the end of the current quarter - so around end July.

Unfortunately you dont get any change from deals! For example, if holiday costs £550 and you pay with £600 worth of deals vouchers, then you've lost the £50.

if the deals vouchers youve got exceed the cost of the holiday and you send them to the holiday company, you wont get anything back.

if you send them back to tesco, they just put the points back onto your account

usually, with hotel stays, they only accept deals for the cost of the room and not any extras. i've tried to pay with deals for extras at the marriott a few times and they wont accept them.

[spraggzy]

I must be really stupid but I really don't understand.
I have a £40 clubcard voucher worth £160 in deals if I order just £10 in meal vouchers can I then use the other £30 from the same clubcard voucher to buy say a magazine subscription and so on? I would really love some help with this one as I want to be able to use my vouchers and not have them credited back to my account x

[ninja_ang]

That is correct Spraggzy, you can use them on multiple things, ie £10 for mag, £10 for meals, £20 days out, all from the same voucher!
Any change will be credited back to your account.
You must use the whole voucher in one go or it will be credited back to you!

Some of my clubcard vouchers (un-converted) wil be expiring before I want to convert them next year. How do I extend their life? Will Mr T do itif I phone thwm, or do I convert them to deals and back again (doyou get a fresh long expiry on them this way?)

Thanks very much

Just ring them up Shortie and quote which ones are expiring, they cancel them and add on to next quarters tally. I have done this a couple of times and it's no problem.

[Shortie]

Thanks very much. Don't want to be losing them now :eek:

[mhoc]

Starting to panic now, exchanged some deals for Goldsmiths last Tuesday and they have not arrived yet :eek:

Am I panicing too soon - is it worth ringing up to ask wether they have gone out yet? Anyone know the number for deals queries?

We sort of expected them to arrive by Friday but had no post at all on Friday. OH is going to go potty when he rings up later :mad:

[Ethansnan]

I ordered some Cosmos on Wednesday last week and still no sign of them. Thought I would get them Sat or Mon as previous orders had turned up quite quick.

Did go over the £500 converted value this time by £87 so thought that might be the reason for the delay.

Nice to see im not the only one waiting, doesnt make it any easier but at least takes a little of the paranoia away.

[mhoc]

Yes same here, going bananas over the weekend and the vouchers have finally shown up today, Tuesday, was hoping for Friday or Saturday as normal.

[Ethansnan]

My vouchers turned up and ive just been on phone to Cosmos.

Now im totally confused, thought I would have to pay full brochure price and give numbers on all deals vouchers.

Instead she gave me the early booking discount (im booking for April next year), and took £200 which she assured me will be refunded once full payment in vouchers are recieved is this correct???

Dont want to lose £200 in cash when I have more than enough deals vouchers to cover the cost.

[Beej]

It will be fine Ethansnan, I booked flights to Florida for 7 with Cosmos recently. I had to pay approx £1100 when I rang but I had approx £900 refunded to my card when they received my vouchers. I didn't have to read out the No's on my deals vouchers either, I think just Virgin do that. I posted my vouchers Special Delivery just to make sure they were safe. HTH

[Ethansnan]

Thanks Beej, will rep you. Vouchers all now sent Special Delivery so hopefully with them tomorrow morning.

[tesco oldman]

Am new to this forum so please help even if a similar question has been answered before.

Will my son (same address and surname but a different initial) have any problems using clubcard deals ordered by me for entrance to sites and restaurants for himself and his girlfriend?

I don't know if the clubcard deals have just surnames.

Will he need to have my clubcard with him? He would expect to pay cash for any amount not covered by the deal vouchers?

[mummytotwo]

deals have just surname. Some have postcode so your son will be fine with your vouchers.

[tesco oldman]

Thanks for your reply; will now go ahead and obtain the deal vouchers.:)

[lemmovolvoman]

Going bananas here, I sent off £4000 of deals vouchers special delivery to Cosmos on the 27th June I have a royal mail Tracking number to say they were delivered on the 28th June.
I rang Cosmos on the Monday 30th June and told that it can take 4 days to show up on my account as they have over 200 special delivery envelopes a day!!!
I rang on Friday 4th July still not showing and told to ring on Monday.

Am I unduly worried? can someone please tell me this is normal?
What do I do if they dont show up on Monday? What`s the procedure with Special delivery for claiming?

:help: Its doing my head in.

Don't worry yet
Virgin take weeks and weeks to show and I'm sure Cosmos are just as bad

[Mamzie]

Butlins took over a week and they have to be much smaller.

[jammy]

Hi
Could someone please tell me if you think it would be okay to return some merlin passes that were ordered on my husbands virtual account,but the vouchers came from his shop clubcard?

They are the old tussurds passes,we have 3.
So my idea was to send all 3 back and ask them to send out 3 new ones if i include the extra vouchers to cover the increase in price,but i would need to send 11.25 but only have 17.50 so some would have to be credited.

This is where the problem comes in as im not sure which account they would credit.
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks

[points reaper]

ignore me its been there ages

[Warboz]

can anyone confirm if i can use ccv s5006 (hilton hotels) to put towards a holiday with cosmos? I ordered the vouchers from cc but we've decided to stay in a different hotel now, so no longer need them.

I've done a search and found that you can use s5006 ccv on other deals so long as it's not buy in full, so i'm hoping that i should be ok.

TIA xx

[Polo]

Should be fine Warboz.

[Warboz]

Should be fine Warboz.

That's great news, thank you xx

[bootsaholic]

Can anyone please answer this for me -

I want to exchange enough vouchers for the following - Nationwide Car service, Drayton Manor, and around £100 for meals out. Can I order these as all the same thing or do I order them specifically for each activity?

Thanks!

[Polo]

Not sure if they are all interchangable bootsholic - I think I am right in saying pay in full ones aren't interchangable with other deals ?

If you can, I'd order them for the right places, but thats probably me just being over cautious!

[bootsaholic]

Thanks for the info! Have ordered them separately just to be on the safe side. It nearly broke my heart to part with them but saved me a fortune too!!!!

[Polo]

I know what you mean bootsaholic! I work so hard to get my vouchers and then I don't want to change them!

[janice mac]

can anyone confirm the address I need to send Cosmos voucher to?? Cant find it and their phones are jammed!

[Beej]

Will pm you.

[charlie]

does anyone know if i can buy wine with my deals please???

[penfold]

does anyone know if i can buy wine with my deals please???


Are you thinking about the double up thing?

http://www.tesco.com/clubcard/clubcard/doubleup/

[charlie]

thanks penfold for the quick reply...thats what i was thinking of cheers xxx

[Beej]

You can double up your Deals to buy wine. See link (http://www.tesco.com/clubcard/clubcard/doubleup/). HTH

[charlie]

has anyone used these before and can you use any other vouchers with them..eg extra points codes or money off codes??

[charlie]

thanks beej xx

[Warboz]

Hi Charlie, I've used the Double Up Vouchers (DUV) a few months back on a wine order and still managed to use a couple of wine codes too. I did really well in the end, spent about £2 in cash, used £100 in Double Up Vouchers and got 2500 points too :clap2: This was a couple of months ago, so I don't know if they have changed things since then.

It did state on the vouchers that you couldn't use the DUV in conjunction with any other offer (XX codes etc), but they went through no problems when I ordered.

[-MRS T-]

Hi

Can someone tell me how I would find out how many points I would need for a holiday to say florida for 4 people please. A rough idea would be fine

I suspect its lots and lots

many thanks
mrs t

[mummytotwo]

If you look on Virgin website and price up the holiday that you want to. make sure that you don't include any discounts as these won't be allowed when using deals.

then say it is £3000 divide by 4 (how many deals) = £750 deal x 100(how many points) = 75000 points


HTH

[hoochi]

if say the i am short of £100 for my holiday can i just pay the hundred pound or will i then have to pay the deposit of £130 pp and get so much refunded?

[Arl71]

You can just pay the £100. Sometimes they say you have to pay £120 per person, but if you query it they will refer to a supervisor and let you pay just the £100. HTH

[novagirl]

Just a quick question please...I ordered some of the days out deals as I want to go to Colchester zoo. Do I just take these with me on the day and exchange them there or do I have to do something else with them? Thanks !

I haven't used the days out vouchers for Chester Zoo, but I would have thought that they would be the same as the other days out where you just take the Tesco vouchers with you (the ones with the perferated edge with the S3010 codes on). HTH xx

Yes, we did that last year and used them no problem. Just go to the ticket booth as normal.

[connorsmummy]

hi everyone,

i have been a lurker for a while, and have saved a fortune thanks to the coupon thread- my oh thinks its hilarious when i come home with 30quid worth of shopping for a tenner (he still wont come with me though lol)

having looked round the board and discovered the clubcard deals that you all seem to love i have decided that i will try and get enough points to book a holiday next year. as i am a total newbie to clubcard (never used tesco till a couple of months ago) i am unsure how it all works.

when i get my vouchers in my statement do i keep hold of them till i am ready to convert them to holiday vouchers?
if and when i manage to get a lot of points (have joined all the clubs and am waiting on mailouts with extra point vouchers etc) do i have to do it all online or can i book a hol via a travel agent- i dont have a credit or debit card and if i have to pay any extra it would be hard to do online
also, is it worth getting a clubcard in my oh name and joining all the clubs for him as well to get more point vouchers?

thank you for bearing with me!

[mummytotwo]

when i get my vouchers in my statement do i keep hold of them till i am ready to convert them to holiday vouchers?
Yes you wait until you want to book a holiday. The vouchers normally expire after 2 years.

If and when i manage to get a lot of points (have joined all the clubs and am waiting on mailouts with extra point vouchers etc) do i have to do it all online or can i book a hol via a travel agent- i dont have a credit or debit card and if i have to pay any extra it would be hard to do online
also, is it worth getting a clubcard in my oh name and joining all the clubs for him as well to get more point vouchers?If you are planning on booking a holiday you have to phone up the travel company themselves. i.e. if using Virgin then you need to telephone Virgin. I am not sure what to do about visa/debit card. I am not sure if they accept cheques. Maybe you could use someone elses card. Hope someone else will be able to help with this one



Yes definitely get you OH a card as well and join all the clubs for him too.

thank you so much! i am going to have to work very hard to get enough points to book a holiday but fingers crossed i will get there

[Happychick]

I have a £6.50 voucher that is valid until 31/08/2008 can I ask them if I can extend the date or is this not possible. Thanks

[Beej]

You can send the voucher back to Tesco Deals and they will re-credit your account with the points. They will be added to next quarters mailing. HTH

[Happychick]

Thanks I will send it back tomorow. :)

[Ethansnan]

I have just recieved vouchers and some are for Cosmos and some for Haven and yet looking at them they are identical.

Nowhere is the company name written or a deals Scode or similar. Just my surname and valid until date.

[Happychick]

I have just rang the clubcard deals number and was told that they no longer allow you to extend or credit vouchers that are about to run out. I was told in no uncertain terms 'that 2 years is a reasonable time to use the deals', but my point was that I am saving them up for a holiday. I may ring back and see if I can get someone that help a bit better.:(

I think you just got a jobsworth but if they wont let you do that you could just order a £2.50 restaurant voucher (or whatever) and then the change of £4 will be credited back to your account and if you dont use the restaurant voucher they do let you recredit those, IYSWIM :)

[Happychick]

Thanks I will have to do that, I suppose we could have a meal out for a change (saves me cooking) :clap2:

[swansea98]

hello everyone, hoping someones got some good ideas where i can go for new year eve using deals. dont know too much about them as im new to this so any advise will be greatfully recieved thanks

[bellab]

I have quite a few clubcards statements that are for just £1.50 from registering a new card. I just tried to exchange them for restaurant vouchers but it won't let me as the minimum amount to order is £2.50. Is there any way of working around this as all the vouchers are in different names!

Thanks x

Wait until next 1/4 and use them wit that mailing. That way you can use them. I had to do that when i opened some new accounts.

[Jemima Puddle-Duck]

Can i use virgin deals (S6038) for the Novotel in London, if so do they let you do thurs, fri, sat? Also do you phone the hotel direct to book? Sorry for the q's i've never used deals for hotels before.

[tyroleandancer]

Yes you can use them
As for what days, look on Tesco.com>deals>Novotel>additional information :)

[Jemima Puddle-Duck]

Thankyou, i called them up and they can only do the Mercure London City Bankside on the Fri/Sat and in 2 rooms (as only 3 per room) so £540 in deals.....but for the Thursday night it would be £190 a room (£380 cash:eek:). So i'll just stay in the premier inn or such like on the thurs as 4 of us could be in 1 room and leave bags at Waterloo left luggage en route to the boys clinic then check in teatime at the Mercure. Bit of a hassle but still a good saving for me.

[Jemima Puddle-Duck]

Just booked it, didn't realise i had to take deals with me:o, had them all sorted into piles ready for the drudge through all the numbers. Had to secure through a CC as i'm arriving after 2p.m.

Has anyone been to the Mercure? We are getting breakfast and i just wondered what sort of things was on the breakfast menu as my youngest DS has an eating disorder, it's just so as i know whether to bring a different breakfast with me.

[Polo]

Hi Jemima, I am so bad I stayed there and should have done a review.... naughty polo.

Breakfast was fab! They had a hot breakfast - scrambled eggs, sausages, bacon, mushrooms, hash browns, tomatos. Or a cold breakfast (but you could have both).... from memory the cold buffet included : cereals, yogs, mixed fresh fruit, rolls, cold meats, croissants, jams, bread. There was a lot of choice I remember! Also they did toast and hot drinks fresh as you arrived, everything else you served yourself.

Was a little disappointed in the room, a little small, but clean and welcoming, we stayed two nights and I would have been disappointed in cash, but for free it was good!
Breakkie kept us going all day so saved money by not having to buy lunch!

Hope this helps!

Oh that is fabulous Polo, sounds like the same sort of breakfasts at the Premier Inn but with hash browns....i love hash browns:love:. Ooops was asking for my son not me...lol:o Thankyou muchness for your fab review, much appreciated. xxx

[julie.b]

Hello can anyone help and let me know if i can use some days out deals that i have left over that will expire at the end of aug to go to pizza hut instead. Thanks.

[mum1964]

Hi
can anyone tell me if I can use s2010 vouchers on meals at any other place other than the ha ha bar and canteen, never heard of it and dont have one near me.

[smitheim]

Hello can anyone help and let me know if i can use some days out deals that i have left over that will expire at the end of aug to go to pizza hut instead. Thanks.

I would think so, as I have used days out vouchers in Bella italia, and vice versa - best way to make sure is to go onto Tesco website and then to the cc deal that you ordered, and on the info part there will be an option 'where else can i use this token?' usually, deals that are not 'buy in full' can be used for other deals that aren't, iyswim? hth ;)

[mutley muppet]

I have £600 worth of cosmos deals that expire the end of Sept.

If I cant use them before then, can I call them to get them reissued with another 6 months on them or do they have to be recredited as points on my account again??

If I have to have them recredited as points do I need to do this before they expire or can I still send them back after they have run out?

Hope that makes sense? :der:

I was hoping to book a hol this autumn, but not sure if I can now?:(

Thanks,
Mm x
