Tesco Clubcard - Air Miles Deals

[pixiepower04]

Hi there,

I'm holding out until later in the year to see if the free dining plan becomes available again before I book my trip for next year and if it does then I will need to book flights only.

As I have Tesco vouchers to use I was wondering if anyone had used the Tesco Clubcard Air Miles deal and was wondering how it works.

I currently only have 2040 in airmiles but wondered if I could just use those against the total needed and pay then just pay the difference, this will hopefully take a couple of hundred pounds off and then the vouchers won't go to waste.

I've had a look on the air miles website and put in the dates needed etc and this is what I found:

Virgin: 1125 miles plus £235.50 per adult and £220.87 per child and £603.60 in taxes, making a total of £1516.34 plus my 2000 miles.

BA: 1000 miles plus £224 per adult and £209.24 per child and £454.70 in taxes, making a total of £1321.18 plus my 2000 miles.

I just checked the Virgin website for the same dates and they come in at £1540.20 in total, the BA website comes in at £1579.60.

Suddenly the Air Miles doesn't look like such a good deal having seen these prices

We have just opted out of getting our clubcard points converted into our airmiles account. We just dont seem to get any good deals with them. DH is a BA executive card holder and we reckon our tesco clubcard points would be better converted into BA miles.

We always get our points converted to airmiles, but, only so we can use them to pay for a hotel at Gatwick the night before we fly!

Must admit to never looking to see what else we could use them for.
