I've never had the slightest problem with this. However, a friend who just decided to turn up and pay on the day was charged an arm and a leg. Book well in advance, it's much cheaper, the times are flexible and the whole process seems hassle free. |
Coming back from the Nurburgring in October i thought i could get an offpeak fare late at night rather than endure a 2hr crossing with Norfolkline and tried to get on a train on spec......ch-ching £160 one way

gwaelod, that's very clever. Do they work? I have a Tesco visa card, which gives me points for everything I spend. only 0.5%, but given what you can put through a credit card, it soon mounts up.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

pam w, yes, they do work but you can only use each code once per Clubcard account. I've set up multiple Clubcard accounts for my address (even my cat has one) so I can use each code more than once. I then convert Tesco vouchers into BA Miles and they soon add up. I've had several free flights this way.

well my cat could have one too - what a cunning lot these Snowheads are. I already sometimes think that being a clubcard points collector is just too sad. I hate myself really, going to Tesco because they've given me "buy a tin of Scusting Cat Food and get 100 points" voucher, when really I'd rather go to Waitrose. However, I cross the channel three or four times a year and haven't paid yet. I used to do the P & O Portsmouth - Le Havre but that stopped. It's good for car hire too.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

pam w, I haven't paid yet either, apart from an extra trip in the summer, when we used Sea France instead (I have a link on my website and get commssion form it, and also have a 10% discount code)

I used to think that, but the combination of Tesco vouchers and my Amex card points have earned enough airmiles for five business class flights to the US in the last four years and I've just booked a first class flight to San Francisco for next summer's holiday. I can live with being a sad Tesco points collector if those are the rewards

I'm obviously nowhere near sad enough; I shall have to redouble my efforts, enrol my cat, and get onto gwaelod's website...
can you combine vouchers from any number of different clubcard accounts?

Yes, but only if they are all registered at the same address.

gwaelod, I have an account that I lost the clubcard for years ago. Ive never done anything about it, as I got the vouchers, and the acoount was empty. I've never had any offers though.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

gwaelod, yes, I didn't mean combine accounts, but use vouchers from two differently numbered accounts for the same reward. I did have two accounts at one point, by accident, and did combine them, which was dim of me. But will now put it right. What's the best Tesco's lurk on Snowheads; they do rule the world, after all.

You know it makes sense.
|
gwaelod, I have done that, bought a laptop with it recently and got 1500 points.

hannah34, the eurotunnel vouchers will arrive in a couple of days by post, along with instructions for booking your tickets. Once booked, immediatley post the vochers off by registered post. They only hold the booking for 3 days for you.

hannah34, and be aware that when you book on the phone you are giving a code, which you need to check in. But it lacks a digit - you get the final digit once you have sent in your vouchers (ie paid). I spent a frustrating time on one occasion, trying to check in, a digit short, till I cottoned on to this. Normal phone bookings get the number right away, I imagine, as the whole price is paid by credit card on booking.
