Merlin Annual Pass & Free Carers Pass from £37.50
We went to Chessington for the weekend & had enough Tesco vouchers to get one Merlin pass for £37.50 . When we got there I was going to get an annual pass for myself & buy 2 disabled child tickets but the guy said that the best way for me to use my voucher was to get a disabled child & free carers pass
So we got 2 annual passes for £37.50 in Tesco vouchers :) Now i just need to save up enough vouchers to get my other son one lol
Thought this might be useful information for anyone with a disability or carers :)

i'm assuming that it works for disabled adults too (not that i'm saying you are) just thought it may be of use to some :thumbsup:
they don't tell you about it on their website so if the guy on the passes desk hadn't have told me i wouldn't have had a clue
Given the Devere hotel deals I've managed to bag over the last year our annual passes have taken a battering and have been a COMPLETE BARGAIN..! Having the pass makes you put the effort in to get the best value you can out of it, the only place we haven't managed to get to yet is Warrick castle but I have promised the kids we'll get there before the summer..
The annual passes also allowed us to jump the ques at all the London venues this week which was a godsend when you have a four year old in tow....
Merlin Passes are a must have. Great thread.
it is £37.50 worth .... read the tesco site ..... vouchers are worth 4 x the value in deals e.g.
if you have a £10 voucher, its worth £40 when transferred to tesco deals
£37.50 x 4 = £150 :whistling:
As well as the queue-jumping imiskeen mentioned you also get the shop discount. 10% in the Legoland shop and 20% on food and drink in most of the theme parks. Not to be sniffed at.
if you have a £10 voucher, its worth £40 when transferred to tesco deals
£37.50 x 4 = £150 :whistling:
Exactly, they are worth £150.
:lol: there's alway one :whistling::roll:
Well yeah it's not £37.50 of cash, it's £37.50 of my very limited supply of tesco clubcard vouchers (I don't have many left right now) which I have a large choice of options to use where they are worth double or quadruple the value. £37.50 cash for an annual pass is great value, but I could spend that many tesco vouchers on £150 of restaurant food, £75 of wine, £75 of phone credit...
Hot from me.... I used my Merlin passes last Saturday for a 2h 45m visit to Thorpe Park. I certainly wouldn't have done that at park entrance prices!
you travelled all that way for a few hours :shock: are you mad? :lol:
we're off to legoland in a few weeks for my son's birthday & have just received our second merlin pass voucher from tesco so 2 adults & 2 kids covered with 2 tesco merlin vouchers :-D
exclusions: No entry during the month of August at London Eye, Madame Tussauds London, London Dungeon and SEA LIFE London Aquarium. No entry during Fright Nights at THORPE PARK (£5 entry fee applies). No entry on 14th February at the London Eye. No entry on 31st October at the London Eye and The London Dungeon.
Because I thought these restrictions were OTT I complained to Merlin and now :thumbsup: they have two cards
A standard Merlin pass and A Premium Merlin pass which has no restrictions but they have set the price at £200 :whistling: for the premium.
The reply was rather dissapointing.. Not only were carers passes not allowed with Tesco vouchers (as they are already discounted), but Merlin passes do not entitle you to book a flight.. This exludes us from even going to the London Eye as my son certainly would not be able to queue for more than 10 minutes..
Anyone know if this information is correct and advise how we might be able to arrange a timed visit to the London Eye?
thanks.. P
