Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

Get a £5 discount off a £15 rail ticket, including Heathrow Express, with Clubcard Perks

Yesterday I introduced Clubcard Perks, a new Tesco initiative that has launched with a special British Airways promotional code.

There is another Clubcard Perk that is worth a look – a £5 voucher for train booking company redspottedhanky.com

Full details can be found hereYou can apply for up to three £5 vouchers per redspottedhanky account.

There is a £15 minimum order required to use a voucher, and only one voucher can be used per booking.  However, you can obviously do separate bookings for each traveller – although you won’t be able to prebook seats together this way.

Alternatively, of course, you could book all of the outbound seats and all of the return seats on two separate bookings, and save £5 in each direction.

You can also book Heathrow Express tickets via redspottedhanky which means you would effectively save £10 on a return ticket which was booked as two singles.

You need to be a Tesco Clubcard member to claim your £5 vouchers – you can sign up here if you are not already a member.

    Hmm only my first £5 eVoucher is showing up in my RSH account so far. I ordered one and then another two a few hours later. Received email confirmations from Tesco for all three. Anyone received all three (the max allowed)?

  • Rob says:

    Looks like it!

    • Swissy says:

      I’m still awaiting for my three vouchers to post. I had the confo emails from Tesco on the 15th. Well over the 72 hour time frame. Even allowing for three business days.
