Don’t know if anyone has spotted this but there is a new seasonal Tesco Clubcard Rewards offer on their website for a Merlin Annual Pass Christmas Gift Pack.
For anyone like us who saves up their Tesco rewards vouchers each year to buy their Merlin Annual passes this seems like a good option.
For £50 in Tesco vouchers you receive:-
1 x gift voucher for a Standard Individual Merlin Annual Pass in a special presentation wallet.
1 x lanyard to display pass in
1 x gift voucher to collect a re-fillable drinks capsule at any of the theme parks which gives unlimited soft drinks all year
1 x Merlin Annual Pass car sticker (limited edition & which states “Britain’s greatest fun-seeker on board”)
Delivery for this new gift pack offer varies a little from their normal Annual Pass deal, which at the moment costs £46.50 in clubcard vouchers, where a rewards token is posted directly to you and which then needs to be redeemed by you at a Merlin park within 6mths. When choosing this gift pack deal your order will be emailed to Merlin to be processed and they will send the pack to the clubcard holder that has placed the order. This gift voucher is valid for 10 months. For my order arrival was super quick at 2 days but it is sent recorded so requires a signature. Tesco site states “Merlin Annual Pass Christmas Gift Packs need to be ordered by 18 December 2012 to guarantee Christmas delivery” so it is unclear if this offer will be available after December.
As deals vouchers are worth 4 times their value it seems quite a good deal to get the extra goodies for only an extra £3.50 worth of vouchers, which equates to £14.00 in real money. Last year I think the AP drinks capsules cost £16 which was a tad expensive me thinks for something that reacted like Vesuvius and overflowed when full.
