I have only been collecting since last august and have already accumulated about £900 worth of vouchers, well i will have that many by the time they send this quarters out beginning of august, so when i change them for deals vouchers for my holiday it will be 4 times that amount, thats £3600, almost twice that amount in dollars with the good exchange rate at the minute, i am so pleased, yes i have probably spent a fair bit more on shopping than normally i would, but its swings and roundabouts in this game, you have to spend a little to save a lot

I am continuing to save for perhaps another 3-6 months before i book my holiday, so will have even more, BUT we are a family of 8 so holidays cost us a fair bit.

Does anyone know when Tesco's will be coming to USA? I'm sure I read something about this last summer?

The only thing i can find on tesco for USA is this that has been posted on the UK site.

Hi Michelle,

Can you explain what you mean by collecting the vouchers? Can you give an example please of how much oop you would spend and what sort of voucher you would get in return? I wish we had something like this!

Here's to hoping Mr. T sets up shop in the US!

Thanks/ Tah!

basically, tesco give us one point per £1 spent instore or online, they also offer bonus points when you spend money, say 1000 points when you spend £50.
every quarter they send out coupons, so say you've saved 2500 points this is £25 in coupons. the coupons can be exchanged for 'deals' and the coupons are worth 4x their value in deals vouchers so £25 becomes £100, the deals vouchers can be exchanged for things like holidays or days out.
the vouchers are valid for 2 years so thats 8 quarters you can save for.
i'm saving for a holiday.
