  @Andy, I did not notice i duplicate your feeling of being stupid 🙂

  Yes, there is a difference

  you can convert directly to:
  -Avios->avios.com
  -BA->Ba.com/Executive club
  if you check in your Clubcard preferences you will see the optiions.

  I used to have automatic conversion to BA before, then switched off last quater and now received vouchers on Clubcard which I want to switch to get the 1000 bonus.
  As said, i find the conversion from Clubcard voucher to avios.com complicated!

  In your case, you might enjoy the double bonus as Raffles already replied above

  Yes, don’t see why not (assuming you’ve not converted to either in past year)”

  So wait, I’m still not clear. If I were to go for this bonus 1,000 avios now to either BAEC or Avios.com. Should a CC conversion bonus come along in the near future, would I be able to take advantage of it for the OTHER scheme than the one I used for this bonus?

  I know this is a hypothetical question but is any limitation be enforced on the Tesco side (i.e. you have recently converted CC points TO Avios.BAEC) or on the BAEC/Avios side (i.e. you have recently converted FROM CC to us).

  Surely if the limit wasn’t on the Tesco side then you could take this bonus and if a conversion bonus comes along simply convert to the opposite scheme…
  If that makes sense!

    To be honest, only once can I remember a transfer bonus which was restricted to first time transferers. In general, like the Virgin one last quarter, they are not restricted. Doing this 1k promo is unlikely to block you from anything later.

  Raffles, last quater I had BAEX autoconvert and disabled it to get vouchers instead, on 4th May.
  Reading and reading again what you wrote…does it mean I can apply to both BAEX bonus and Avios bonus NOW? so far I though it meant: “if you had not EVER converted in the past”.

    By ‘ever’ they mean ‘since 29 April 2012’. It seems you have done a BA conversion so you can’t get that bonus. However, you would still get the avios.com bonus if you have an account there and haven’t converted in a year.

  I went for the BAEC bonus offer the other day and the 1200 Avios for the exchanged £5 in clubcard points were added to my account but there’s no sign of the 1000 Avios bonus. Has this been everyone else’s experience? If so I’ll just wait patiently.

  • Rob says:

    Yes, no-one has them yet

  Silly question. I’m new to Tesco clubcard, well I have one, but purely for these offers.

  £5 of clubcard points. Is that the same as 500 clubcard points?

  I have a whole bunch of 25 point vouchers to use. Hoping to do a big shop and use these along with my double points voucher to rack up enough for these bonus points. Will my plan work, or am I missing something?

  Cheers

    Yes, references to £5 of points means 500 points.

    However ….

    1. The 25 point vouchers you have received will, once used, not be turned into Clubcard vouchers until August when the next set of statements is posted out. You won’t be able to take advantage of this 1,000 Avios promotion as it will have finished by August.

    2. Double points coupons only double base points. They do not double coupons.

  I have signed up for an avios account (having used the Tesco/BAEC route before) but I am unable to “find” the offer on either website.
  Do I need to click through the advert or will I still get the bonus if I make a £5 transfer in the usual way?
  Thanks

    There is certainly no special link to use, so just transfer normally.

  I think I’ll chance £5 worth to see if I get this. I have transferred CC to BAEC in the last week but have never transferred to Avios. So… if I transfer over now, they will automatically open me an Avios account and then at a later date I can merge those points into my BAEC?
