Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

442 Clubcard points with a video game – new Tesco Direct codes available

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

On Saturday I wrote about the new Tesco Direct video game promotion.

This earns you 442 Clubcard points on specific video games.  The 76 titles are listed on this page.

The cheapest of the 76 games is just £15. 

As I outlined in more detail in the original article, the secret is to find a game that CEx or Amazon Trade-In will accept at a decent price.  This can bring down the ‘cost per Avios’ to 0.3p or less.  This page shows how Amazon Trade-In works.

In the original post, I listed two Tesco Direct codes for NEW accounts only:

TDX-DLCD – £10 off £50

TDX-HQ9T – £5 off £30

Tesco has now released two more discount codes.  These will work on ANY account, however many Tesco Direct orders have gone through it.

TDX-TH6W – £10 off £75

TDX-LVY3 – £20 off £150

These two codes are valid until 27th May, which coincidentally is the closing date for the video games promotion anyway.

The task for you now is to put together £75-worth of video games (at £65 cost after the code) in order to maximise the 442 points per title bonus and minimise the loss after reselling them to CEx or Amazon Trade-In …..
