If someone offers you something, and you repond by saying ‘thanks, but no thanks’, what you mean is ‘I decline’. The expression is one way of refusing or turning down an invitation. It is always used to convery a rejection.

Hi saso, That could be one of the ways in refusing an offering politely. And I agree with jojo, it is better for us to give the reason why we can't take part so the person will not be offended.
hi sasoi i think we ought to use a polite words when we have to refuse and turning down an invitation and if it possible give the reason for that thanks saso have a nice time
Hi Saso: Thanks alot for this question,I think it's a polite way to refuse something..But we can simply say " I would like to but...." or "It's a great idea but..." ..Thanks alot my lovely friend ..Have a nice day. Your friend..Emi.

Hello Saso, I didn't know the expression, and that is my first time I'm in the group of " Let's speak English" so it's great to learn something the first day.
Now tell me what CONVERY means? Do you mean CONVEY?

in my opinion when someone answer with a " thanks, no thanks" , he is declining the invitation politely.
I thinks it is so.
