  Hopefully this will lead to more deals in the future. For now though, I’d say note the T&Cs: from the Alton Towers vouchers:
  “A voucher cannot be used with any other promotion, advance bookings or ticket bought online or by phone.”
  So it seem you cant use the ubiquitous 50% off vouchers available on cereal boxes and other places.

  and “Double Up & More vouchers must be used before 30th September 2014.”

    Yes, good point. You’ll find the same conditions (not to be used with other promotions, etc) apply to most of these Nectar/Clubcard deals for restaurants, hotels, etc, meaning that the actual value you get is less than advertised, since most people will use some kind of voucher or discount method. Not worth it, in my opinion.

  You missed the best value offer (in my opinion):

  4 x swimming vouchers for 500 nectar points.

    I agree. I just ordered 4 swimming vouchers. At my local pool it costs £4.70 for an adult swim, so that’s £18.80 worth of value for 500 points (x7.52 normal face value).

      I did the same, but with a 5.6 multiplier since will be used partly for child swims that are cheaper than adult swims where we go.

  Off topic here but anyone else had problems with the Amex-Foursquare deal? Loaded the deal for a few to two Amex cards, included that for both Ask Italian and Zizzi.

  Went to local Zizzi and £10 was credited but on statement as ASK RESTAURANTS LTD. When then later when went to local Ask Italian the credit did not turn up on that card but did on another I had not already used at Zizzi.

  Anyone else have this problem and is it worth calling Amex to chase this? Thanks.

    Zizzi, ask and pizza express are all the same group so that could explain the issue.

    If you give amex a call they will instantly credit any missing statement credits in my experience.

      Great, thanks. Now to ask my wife to call them whose card it is but does not like ringing people… :-/

        You can use the online message facility instead of phoning

        I know that feeling…

          I meant the asking wife to call when she often has no idea what offers I’m doing on her cards. My reply didn’t post directly after Peter’s but at the bottom of the chain!

          I know that feeling… ;o)

  Does anyone know if you can use the multiplied Nectar redemption points for an annual pass at Legoland Windsor?

  • Daz says:

    I don’t think you can.

    I was looking for some deals prior to flying out of LHR with the X4 Nectar points and it’s no deal in my opinion.

    You can get £40.00 voucher for 2000 points, max one per person. However I looked at the price of the tickets for 2 adults and one child online and it was £101.00! So you can’t book on line or use other promotions and their is no guarantee you will get that price at the ticket office on the day.

    Looks like a long day in the lounge at the SOFITEL T5, bummer…
