Of course that credit could be used to make more calls to the USA and Canada via the 5p/min deal. At the end of the day the combined price per minute is quite good indeed.

I suppose another efficient way of doing so would be to call a a Betamax local access number (at normal UK landline rates). Betamax/Finarea/Dellmont effectively gives you the USA and Canada for free. If you are planning on making long calls to the USA this way, it would be worth adding Vodafone Stop the clock which gives you 1 hours calling to UK landlines but just charges you for 3mins.
I got you but say if my intent as a tourist is to spend 7 days in the UK (or even 14 days). For the most part, I need the phone to receive calls and to call home...now if I don't go over 60 minutes and make few local calls, I would actually probably never get to the point where I go into the 10 quid so I suppose it really has more to do with your calling patterns...I mean I might call a couple of friends a couple of times and a couple of restaurants and whatever but the vast majority of my calls are made home to the USA.
