For those of you that don't know - we booked using T*sco Clubcard vouchers. You get 3x the value of your voucher so our crossings ended up costing a fiver!!!!

Happy days smile

Nice one thumbup

We are off for our 4 week jaunt mid July. Ours is all planned and booked though. It gives me something to do during the long, wet winter months smile

Unfortunately T*sco cluubcard are no good for Eurotunnel so couldn't get that nearly as cheap as a fiver hehe

We use our Tesco points for the Chunnel too. Great deal.

yes silly me: its the Eurostar to Paris etc that they don't do, not the chunnel for cars etc

At the moment I collect Avios with mine but I need to switch over ready for next year at some stage

Why? I just ring Avios and book a ferry fare using cash/points as needed. I have had 2 "free" crossings to Spain so far....

Their travel agents will book pretty much anything as they convert points in to a cash value so hotels, hire cars, ferries, theme parks etc are possible but I have checked that they don't do the chunnel frown
