Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

Tesco deals – even more giftcard points, 2880 Avios on wine, 360 Avios on DVDs

Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission.  See here for all partner links.

Tesco has launched a number of generous Clubcard promotions.  All of these will give you bonus Clubcard points which can be converted into Avios points or Virgin Flying Club miles.

Deal 1:  100 Clubcard points on a £20 gift card purchase

Page 120 of the new Tesco magazine (the Christmas edition) contains a coupon for 100 bonus Clubcard points when you spend £20 on any gift card (Tesco giftcards excluded).

This will work on top of the standard promotion of 150 Clubcard points for spending £50 on gift cards.

250 Clubcard points (600 Avios) is an excellent deal for buying £50 of gift cards.  You may even get 350 points for a £50 purchase if you can persuade the cashier to scan two coupons.  If you are a regular visitor to Pizza Express, New Look, Debenhams or the many other retailers whose gift cards are sold by Tesco, it would make sense to stock up.

Deal 2:  1200 Clubcard points for £120 wine spend or 500 points for six bottle purchase

These codes offer a great return if you are stocking up for Christmas drinking with a visit to the Tesco online wine store.

Code XXPL7G gets you 1,200 points (2,880 Avios) for a £120 spend.  This code will NOT work for everyone.

Codes are XX4MJH and XXLLG4 offer 500 bonus points when used for a six bottle purchase.  This code came with the Tesco Wine magazine so may be easier to redeem.

The £120 code should work on the price before any discounts – such as the current ‘25% off 12 bottles’ deal – are taken off so your actual spend needed may be lower.

Deal 3:  150 bonus points when you pre-order a DVD

Over at Tesco Direct, the following DVDs are available to pre-order.  You will receive 150 Clubcard points (360 Avios, 375 Virgin miles) with each one.  This offer should double up with any bonus points DVD coupon you may have received in the post recently.

Prices start at £10.

Seven titles are shown via this link (expire 23 November)

Three more titles are here including Inbetweeners 2 (expires 30 November)

Two more are here including the latest Expendables (expires 7 December)

And finally Into The Storm is here (expires 14 December)

There are also five Blu-Ray disks offering 200 bonus points (480 Avios) which you can find here.

  • Fenny says:

    Just ordered a pile of DVDs for the family for Christmas, plus Take That CD for me 🙂 Will be ordering my Christmas port shortly and have a £25 voucher to offset against the total. All in all, I’m looking at somewhere over 2000 CC points for a bit of Christmas shopping.

  • squills says:

    tesco are running a 25% off wine offer when you buy 4 or more. They’re also running a 4 for the price of 3 on the mini bottles of wine and fizz, so when you buy 4 bottles you only pay for 2. I’ve had this work online and in store.

  • squills says:

    My AMEX £5 code came through 😉

  • mij says:

    don’t forget the coupon on the last page – might as well pull that one out and hand in for a chance to win £100 gift card. Also the £5 off £40 coupon it spits out for spending £40 is valid from 24/11/2014 to 30/11/2014.

    • Mikeact says:

      Not against gift vouchers though.

      • TimS says:

        Depends on the checkout operator.

        I’ve used Helping Hand vouchers against 3v cards before. They dont allow them against TESCO gift vouchers but others are usually ok.

        If challenged, I just ask them to scan it and see. It always takes it.

        • Mij says:

          Yep – still scans through. Used many times even the money off vouchers you get with your clubcard statement.
