Has anyone saved up their online points and vouchers and used them for one of the holiday companies that are in partnership with Tesco? Is it straightforward or a real palaver to do it. I have about £30 of tokens at mo, but they would be wort £120 towards a holiday in the uk where I could take my dog with me. The holiday comes out at £600 so I would need £150 of points/vouchers. Anyone done it?

We did ! We had about £700 off our holiday thats 4x the amount of clubcard points we had We went to Mallorca in June with cosmos. What you do is, fill in the form in one of their booklets and I think (if not it will tell you in the book)send off your clubcard vouchers with it. (Use special delivery or the like) You will recieve your 4 x the amount in vouchers for what ever company you are using. You will also be sent numbers, where you phone to book direct for the clubcard deal. Either go to the holiday company website to take a look where you want to book, or request a brochure. HOWEVER The prices are not exactly the same as on the net etc., They are slightly higher, and you may miss out on other deals offered in the brochure/net. We saved up over 2 years for ours, and it worked out in our benefit, as it only cost us about a grand, half board for a fortnight. But as said, very simple to arrange, and you get sent your invoices/confirmation ect throught he post. forgot to say, you have to pay your deposit in cash. and once you have sent your vouchers, you cannot add any more vouchers to the remaining balance.

Yes its brilliant isnt it. I never knew anything about it til Martin Lewis money saving website was recommending it! I guess you two old hands know about that site?? Thats what worried me, say I sent off for the vouchers and then the holiday place said, no vacancies. So you always pay the deposit in cash then use the vouchers for the outstanding balance. I do wish they had a partnership with someone like Welcome Holidays or Hoseasons as we would prefer a nice seaside cottage rather than a caravan. I have mailed them with the suggestion.

I havent heard of the site BTW Once you get your holiday tokens, you have up to six months to redeem them. Elaine x
