marzman Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Seeing as i only fill up with fuel at Tesco, i get to use my clubcard and so have loads of points. They're worth £65 in cash, but you can convert them on the tesco website to rewards, which are worth 4x more. So... i've gone for hotel vouchers, giving me £260 of vouchers to use. So i've just booked 4 nights at the Hilton in Kensington, London over christmas day, which should total £490, but its only costing me £230...! How cool is that?! Propper bargain!

Yes stan, it is the Olympia... was the only one i could use my vouchers at Chris, spa hotel... if i'd invested a little more time i'd have probably found a decent spa hotel to go to instead... but there's so many choices, it took me almost 2 hours to pick what i got...! In the end i was like screw it, and picked the easiest one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to love going down there - was a long time ago - there should still be a very nice Italian restaurant across the road from the hotel and great Curry house about 1/2 a mile up Kensington High Street heading towards the Palace That was the first time I ever had a curry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxi-glasgow Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I could have booked the Olympia for £64 for 4 nights over Christmas without any vouchers. Perk of working for Hilton I suppose Olympia isn't one of the best Hilton's in London though, there are far better hotels in London. You have the likes of Park Lane, the Waldorf, Green Park, The Trafalgar etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuck Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Tesco vouchers are a godsend. We have converted ours into Goldsmith vouchers and are buying a wedding ring from there. Do you know you can save them for upto 2 years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
