Get 1,500 Clubcard points (3,600 Avios) with an E.ON collective fuel switch

Back in May I ran an introduction to earning Clubcard points with gas and electricity provider E.ON.  E.ON is one of the lesser known Tesco Clubcard partners. This is because, since the end of 2013, you do NOT earn Tesco Clubcard points directly from them.

E.ON has its own rewards scheme – E.ON Rewards – and it is those points which can be converted into Tesco Clubcard.

The other reason it is low key is that E.ON Rewards is an ‘opt in’ scheme. If you don’t sign up, you don’t earn any points, even though E.ON is supplying your fuel.

E.ON Rewards is simplicity itself. You can find an introduction to the scheme here.

You earn a capped 1,500 E.ON Rewards points per year for being on an eligible electricity or dual fuel tariff

Points accrue daily and are awarded monthly

You can either transfer these to Tesco Clubcard (1:1, no minimum) or for Bonusbond high street shopping vouchers (500 = £5 voucher)

Points expire after two years if not redeemed

Points do NOT transfer automatically. You need to go onto the E.ON Rewards website to move them across.

As you can see, E.ON appears to be quietly hoping that many customers either fail to opt-in to the scheme or, if they do, forget about it and let their points expire!

Why you may want to sign up with E.ON now

1,500 Clubcard points per year is worth 3,600 Avios or 3,750 Virgin Flying Club miles.

Given the size of the most gas and electricity bills, however, this is a drop in the ocean. Your priority should be to find the cheapest supplier and only then, if it is E.ON, take the points into account.

At the moment, however, E.ON is VERY competitive for most people.

Two months ago I wrote about a ‘collective switch’ to E.ON which had been negotiated by moneysavingexpert.  E.ON offered a very cheap deal to MSE readers in return for the promise of tens of thousands of new customers arriving at once.

A similar deal has now been launched with uswitch.com which is running until midnight on 3rd November.  In order to see the details, you need to do a price comparison via the uswitch site.  The E.ON package will show as part of your search results.

It is a 12-month fixed price tariff although, if prices fall, you can leave at any point by paying a £30 per fuel exit fee.

The uswitch tariff is a ‘qualifying’ one for the purpose of earning Tesco points.  You will earn 1,500 Clubcard points over the next year if you choose to convert your E.ON Rewards points to Tesco – and those points will get you 3,600 Avios or 3,750 Virgin Flying Club miles.

If you are interested in this deal, you will receive an additional £28 if you apply via the uswitch link on TopCashback.

If you are not already a TopCashback member, my refer-a-friend link is here – you will receive a £5 Amazon gift certificate when you join TCB before 9th November and earn £10 cashback.  This offer is only available if you join via a refer-a-friend link.

Take these deals together and you will receive:

• a competitive gas and electricity deal for the next 12 months
• 3,600 Avios points
• £28 cashback
• and, for new TopCashback members, a £5 Amazon voucher
