family & Friends railcard

[Willie Bee]

I just want to make sure i am correct here ..

I want to buy a family / friends railcard, with the two named adults as my daughter and myself

Can I then go on my own, with her daughter ? (my granddaughter), who is 7, sorry 8 (as of yesterday) .. she just told me off now

Is it simply a case of any one of the two named adults, plus up to 3 adults as long as one child goes

thank you

At least one of the named adults must be travelling with at least one child birth to fifteen inclusive - group size cannot exceed four adults and four children. Your understanding is correct.

birth to fifteen inclusive

Or 16 years old if they turn 16 during the period of the railcard, until it expires

thanks !

It really does seem quite a bargain .. even if paying the full price of £35

Travelling in May, so maybe there'll be an offer on before then .. fingers crossed

Reminds me that the first railcard I ever bought was when I was 16. I bought it to travel to London for a half term aunt-visit with my sister… who was 15.

Tesco Clubcard vouchers, if you’ve got them?

Tesco Clubcard vouchers, if you’ve got them?

I don't usually shop in Tesco, but I do have the app.

Today I saw their app needs updating, so did that .. looks as if I actually have 3 vouchers .. £4, £4 and £2.50

Does this count the same as money .. I vaguely remember seeing ages ago, the vouchers are sometimes actually worth more than their face value, if that makes sense. Or is that an old thing ?

Yeah, for 'partners', e.g. Railcards, it's worth double, normally. It says on the clubcard page. So this would be worth £21 in a purchase with one of their partners, or £10.50 at Tesco

£10.50 of Tesco Clubcard vouchers is potentially "worth" £21.00 when purchasing a 1 year 'Family and Friends' railcard. However, I think that Tesco are only able to process such an application in blocks of £2.50, so that's only £20.00 (2 x £10.00) off the cost of a £35.00 railcard, and you'll need an extra £15.00 card payment to complete the purchase. You *might* also lose the spare £0.50 Clubcard value, although I'm not 100% sure about that aspect.

Extract...

Turn every £2.50 in vouchers into £5.00 to use with 1-year Family & Friends Railcard

In the past, Tesco Clubcard vouchers have sometimes been worth 3 x face value on certain redemption offers. No longer the case.
