Thanks for the link

We only have a few vouchers .. Should be £15 worth in fact... so that will give us £45 off ,, But ignoring those for the minute as that just confuses the issue a bit..........

So each car return costs £86 (£420) camper supplement (any size) is £11 per trip. So you want 2 of the 5, send partner a cheque £172. then you're on you own once you get confirmation of your frequent traveller password. When you want to travel you can book either online or by phone, pay the £11(per leg) supplement for camper so works out at £108 per crossing

OK, so just to get this firmly in my head..
Doing a booking ( 1 x return trip ) it costs us £212 as just quoted a few minutes ago, including the pet supplement

Doing it with frequent traveler option is £108 each way ( £216 return ) , plus the pet supplement of £17 = £125 each way or £250 per return trip

Either I am reading it very wrong or it does not seem to be much of a saving

It's £108 return plus pet supplement each way

Yes @Jaws as the lady said

If you go to last pages of thread once you get the gist, member who are looking recently should be there...

Just bump the sharing thread and see how you get on?

It's for the Tesco Credit Clubcard for purchases NOT in Tesco. Currently you get 1 point for every £4 spent but it will be changing to 1 point for every £8 spent. Tesco related purchases will remain the same I think.

I rang and used Tesco points on Friday and got the same price as online.

 

[bartiny]

So what is one Tesco point worth please .

So what is one Tesco point worth please .

Found it 1 point = 1 pence or 1%.

http://www.choose.net/money/guide/features/nectar-clubcard-ultimate-comparison.html

Ok so when using for Euro tunnel you get 3 pence or 3%.

I can save far more than even the 3% figure shopping elsewhere, as they themselves used to tell me every time i went through the checkout, then present me with a voucher for x£ telling me that i would have been better off shopping at Asda or the like, but if I returned within a certain time frame they would credit me off that bill

No thanks

 

[Jaws]

Hmmm..

And then a few lines down:

You get the extra points on branded gift cards from here
https://www.giftcards.tesco.com/catalogue/Branded-Gift-Cards
and not on Tesco branded cards.

So for example, if you know you need to make a big purchase from argos, buy the gift card from Tesco and pay using that. You will then get the extra Tesco points. And also Argos frequently have the spend £50 get £5 voucher etc, so wait for that offer to pop up too.

ETA - you do get charged £1.50 postage for a gift card which kind of offsets the 150 points but the 150 points would be boosted to 450 for the tunnel offer

Obviously you don't have to buy everything from tesco , it's just a bonus if you do and as in my last post if you could have bought something cheaper elsewhere they now supposedly knock it off your bill immediately.

and how many do you really think can be bothered taking advantage of that?.......advertising BS and spin dear boy

No.

We always have the on-line quote open when we ring. We have always been given that price when we ring to book. (two return journeys per year for the last fifteen years. Always the same).

Anyone who regularly shops at Tesco!

Our three nearest supermarkets are all Tesco. Driving past them to shop elsewhere costs more in fuel than the savings available. As we shop there weekly we always use the vouchers provided if "we could have saved elsewhere"

Living where we do there are no super cheap supermarkets like Aldi or Lidl available.

For us Tesco makes sense.

Just realised that the above sounds like an advert for Tesco. There are other brands available.

Make your own choices.

 

[Jaws]

No.

No idea what is happening there then
After getting a different quote every five minutes I rang them


Got the online quote, foned up and said I had £15 worth of tescos points ( actually a bit of a lie as at the moment I only have £14 so am desperately getting everyone to use my card LOL !! ) .. Asked what the price would be and was told with the points, the return price would be £167 including the dog
Exactly £45 less than the on line quote

 

[bartiny]

Yes but after years of "telling me" I was being overcharged it has finally sunk in I now shop elsewhere and save a relative fortune So thank you Tesco, you were right its cheaper elsewhere

you poor things dontcha just love tax avoiding corporate multinationals that don't pay a living wage!

I was told that Aldi and Lidl are owned by two German brothers. Hence the no competition agreement. Don't know if it's true.

I've heard of that happening with various online fare booking sites, not just the tunnel.

As I understand it when you get a quote it saves a cookie onto your computer. If you then get another quote for the same train/flight/whatever it reads that cookie and automatically comes back with a more expensive price. I have no idea why they would want to do that but it must have seemed like a good idea to someone.

If you clear your cookies and browser cache before getting a new quote it won't happen.
