Tesco vouchers and universal hotels

I think I’ll have to give tesco a ring tomorrow and see if they can shed some light on it?
Just as a matter of interest, when you booked RPR today, was your voucher for less than £250?

See more...

Yes - it was for £225. There are the same questions on the Tesco website - not really very clear. Will be interested to know the answer, as when I was exchanging my vouchers today, I was mindful to keep it under £250 - but hey - it may be £750.

Thanks, I’ll definitely give them a call tomorrow and post what they say back here on this thread. Certainly seems like it must be £250 max once they’ve been boosted.
Thanks again👍🏻X

I thought you could exchange £250 of clubcard vouchers (ie £750 hotel vouchers). Would be interested to know what they say as was planning on exchanging £100 of clubcard vouchers.

I've just been back on the Tesco Clubcard site and it does allow you to add £250 before boost to £750 in hotels.com vouchers, so back to the drawing board.

I changed up 90 pound worth of vouchers for 270 off so it's definitely 250 limit on the vouchers ☺

I didn't end up going down that route but I had a reply from Tesco saying the maximum I could convert was £250 in vouchers for £750 Hotels.com voucher

[Tiggers Pal]

I converted £125 of Tesco vouchers for a £375 hotels.com voucher and used this for my booking when we stay later this month. It is definitely a maximum of £250 Tesco voucher that can be converted up to £750 hotels.com vouchers.

Thanks for all the replies!
Well, things have just got curiouser and curiouser!

Before I went to call Tesco today to see why my voucher code didn’t work for RPR, despite my booking though the tesco link, typing the code in perfectly, not having exceeded the maximum amount, and using both my iPad and laptop to try, and knowing others had booked with no problem, I thought I’d try using the voucher code once more (even although tesco had said they cancelled it yesterday after I’d called them in a panic thinking that I would lose all my vouchers), and it worked!
It applied the discount much to my surprise!
I stupidly shouldn’t even have tried it but hey ho.
Anyway, Tesco said my refunded voucher is still processing and she thought that perhaps hotels.com hadn’t processed the cancelled voucher code on their end and that’s why it had worked today but she had no clue as to why it hadn’t worked yesterday when I originally tried to book!

I didn’t complete the booking today with hotels.com, so now have to wait for my points to reappear back on my club card account and try again, otherwise hotels.com might just charge my credit card with the whole amount and not just the taxes.

So, well done if you’ve got this far!
Seems that the tesco vouchers do still work for RPR, but just that their computer said no yesterday! 🙄
