Earn 500 Clubcard points (1,200 Avios) with 79 different video game pre-orders

Tesco Direct has launched a new promotion offering bonus Clubcard points when you pre-order certain upcoming video games.
There are 79 titles included in the offer when you include multiple formats! FIFA 16, pictured below, is included.
You will receive 500 Clubcard points for every title you pre-order, which converts into 1,200 Avios or 1,250 Virgin Flying Club miles.
Note that this offer is NOT available in-store, which means that we can’t repeat some of the great pre-ordering tricks of old …..!
You can see the full list of titles here.
Most are priced at £40 – £44 so, assuming that Tesco is pricing in line with Amazon etc, the Avios will mean a decent rebate on the price paid.
There isn’t enough margin here to justify buying the games to resell on eBay if you don’t want them for yourself. The closing dates for the offer vary depending on the actual release date.
