Quidco cashback increased from £5 to £20 for the Lloyds TSB Avios cards

The Quidco cashback on the Lloyds TSB Duo Avios cards and the Lloyds TSB Premier Duo Avios cards has been increased from £5 to £20.

The cards come as a duo pack of an American Express and a MasterCard.

The ‘Duo’ cards are free and earn 1 Avios per £1 on the Amex and 0.2 Avios per £1 (!) on the MasterCard.

The ‘Premier Duo’ come with a £50 fee but pay only marginally better – 1.25 Avios per £1 on the Amex and 0.25 Avios per £1 on the MasterCard.

Neither of these are desperately exciting compared to the British Airways American Express cards.  The only exception is for foreign spend, where you earn double Avios – 2.5 per £1 on the Premier Duo Amex.

The £50 card also comes with a 2-4-1 redemption voucher when you spend £15,000 in a year, but this is only valid on Economy tickets.  This rapidly decreases its value – Economy redemptions are poor value long-haul because of the taxes, and short-haul Economy redemptions aren’t very expensive in the first place.

I am not the greatest fan of the current sign-up bonus on these cards either, but for some people it will work.

The ‘Duo’ cards come with a voucher for 18,000 Avios.  However, this can only be spent in one go and must include one night hotel accommodation booked via Avios.

The ‘Premier Duo’ cards come with a voucher for 30,000 Avios.  This must be spent in conjunction with two nights of hotel accommodation.

Interestingly, you may have a different opinion of these deals if you are a solo traveller or a couple.  The size of the Avios voucher is fixed but a couple would either need to add extra Avios on top or travel somewhere nearer home to get full value.

Anyway, if you were thinking about getting them, the £20 Quidco may swing it for you.  If you are not a Quidco member, joining via this link pays me a very modest referral commission.
