Mobile Tesco club points & hotels

I know quite a few people of used their Tesco club points towards booking universal hotels but have you ever used it to book a Disney hotel?
As we are looking for one extra night I checked the website and some of the Disney hotels are on there. They seem to be around £50 more but if we used our club card points it will save a lot.
Just wondered if I have missed something and this is not allowed?
Would we still get magical express etc
Also, is there a maximum number of points you can use to boost ?
We currently have 92 so could potentially have £276 to spend on a hotel. Is there any hidden costs etc?
It seems a little too good to be true?

I haven't used then towards a Disney hotel but have used them on hotels.com and there is a maximum number of points you can use I believe which equals around £240.

It will also tell you when you go through to book if there are any extra resort fees etc at the hotel to pay as it varies depending on where you book.

I've used them for a Disney hotel.

No problems but I don't know about DME as we had a car. I would expect it to be included though as to Disney it will just be an ordinary hotels.com booking.

Remember you can't pay the taxes with the points.

The maximum clubcard vouchers that can be exchanged is £250 for a £750 hotels.com voucher. We exchanged £125 clubcard vouchers this year for £375 hotel voucher for a stay at RPR.

As above remember you need to pay the tax separately so do a dummy booking to see get the actual amounts for the room price and tax. Your voucher can be slightly over or under the room amount, it doesn’t have to be exactly that amount just that anything over the room amount will be lost. Any amount not covered by your voucher will just be paid by card along tax element.

Sorry for all the questions!
On hotels.com (I have used the Tesco link) it states a price promise.
The room we are looking to book is £55 more than via Disney direct. I assume they will still honour the price promise even though I am using Tesco club points.
Also (sorry, I know everyone must be exasperated with me) we currently save our points and get vouchers around October/November time. Can we still use them on hotels? Do we just contact Tesco club card ?
Thanks

Here’s a link to a thread about their price promise from earlier this year. https://www.thedibb.co.uk/forums/sho... php?t=1113508

There’s a few posts about the price promise on different pages in amongst other people’s questions. Sounds like it may be possible to get them to match it but may not be an easy process. Might be worth calling them before converting your clubcard vouchers. If you want to use vouchers you haven’t received yet you’ll need to contact clubcard to see if there is any way you can get them early. Otherwise wait until you get them before making your booking.

Can you just use some of your Tesco club card points? And pay them towards the room cost?
Thanks

Yes, your voucher doesn’t have to cover the full amount of the room cost. Any amount not covered by the voucher can be paid by card along with the taxes.
