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 here. You 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.
How to earn Avios from UK credit cards (April 2024)

In February 2022, Barclaycard launched two exciting new Barclaycard Avios Mastercard cards with a bonus of up to 25,000 Avios. You can apply here.
You qualify for the bonus on these cards even if you have a British Airways American Express card:
