Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

Good Tesco promo returns – 100 Clubcard points (240 Avios) with £20 gift card purchase

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

If you’re in your local Tesco this week, make sure you pick up a copy of the December ‘Tesco Food Family Living’ magazine.

Inside, you will find a full page advertisement for gift cards and a coupon.  It is on page 103.

It gets you 100 bonus Clubcard points (240 Avios) with the purchase of a single gift card of £20 or above.

This will, with 100% certainty, stack with the ongoing offer of 150 bonus Clubcard points when you spend £50 or more on gift cards, excluding Tesco-branded gift cards.

If you pick up two magazine and purchase 2 x £25 gift cards, for example, you would earn:

150 bonus Clubcard points for spending £50

2 x 100 bonus Clubcard points for spending two lots of £20

That would give you a total of 350 Clubcard points (840 Avios or 875 Virgin Flying Club miles).  Assuming that you would otherwise have spent £50 in cash at whichever retailer you go for, these are arguably virtually free miles.

This is a very decent offer and I would pick up a few copies of the magazine if you can.  The vouchers are valid until 31st December 2015.

How to earn Avios from UK credit cards

    Can you use the same voucher a multiple times per transaction!? Seems a bit odd to me.

    I want to buy an expensive car seat for my 1yo so I could use Mothercare vouchers using the money-off vouchers me and my wife got.

    • Brian says:
      20 Nov20 November 09:44

      No, you need to have a different voucher for each gift card.

      • Red says:
        20 Nov20 November 10:44

        Is that because it’s a unique code on each voucher, or the cashier is instructed it’s one voucher per gift card?

        Just wondering if it’s not a unique code that you could use it on a self-scanner, or can you not buy gift cards on them?

        • Frenske says:
          20 Nov20 November 13:10

          … I don’t think you can activate gift cards at the self scanner!? Can you?

        • TimS says:
          20 Nov20 November 13:12

          You can’t buy gift cards on the self-scan tills unfortunately.

          It is SUPPOSED to be one voucher per gift card (though the barcodes are not unique) but you may be lucky enough to find a cashier willing to re-scan one voucher multiple times.

          Or, just take multiple magazines & therefore multiple vouchers.

    Rob, you need to edit your example with the Pizza Express, otherwise newcomers are going to follow your advice and won’t get the points. Quite apart from the fact that PE are 20% cheaper until this weekend, even if you buy 5 £20 giftcards at full price, you will NOT get 300 bonus CC points, because it’s not the overall total that matters – it’s the multiples of at least £50. So you’d get the bonus 150 points for the first three (£60), but not the last two (£40).

    • barnaby100 says:
      20 Nov20 November 09:49

      For the slow of thinking can you explain why that is?

      • Brian says:
        20 Nov20 November 09:55

        To get the bonus 150 points, you need to spend at least £50 on gift cards. Each 150 points is awarded separately, as it were, so you need to spend at least £50 for each lot of 150 points. If you buy 5 x £20, therefore, you’re only buying one group of gift cards worth at least £50 (i.e. the first three £20 ones), so the others don’t count for a bonus, since they only total £40.

        So you’d need to buy 6x £20 or 4 x £20 + 2 x £10. The £10 ones wouldn’t be valid for the 100CC point promotion, of course.

    Thanks for the tip-off. Went in to Surrey Quays this morning and there were loads of magazines and loads of Pizza Express vouchers – not good for the waistline! To save others looking, the voucher is on P103.

    While the 20% offer is running the Mitchells and Butlers cards are a great offer as you can discount your festive drinking not just dining out. You can use the vouchers at any of their outlets and just buy drinks using them. The have a lot of brands which include many pubs and bars (the chains All Bar One and Nicholsons being examples).

  • Andrew says:
    20 Nov20 November 11:16

    If I buy a £100 gift card on line will I get 2×150 points or just 1x?

    • Brian says:
      20 Nov20 November 11:23

      1 x.

      • Frenske says:
        20 Nov20 November 13:13

        Are you sure? In store £100 gift cards will get you 2×150 points.

        • TimS says:
          20 Nov20 November 13:48

          No, £100 of gift cards (if they could effectively be divided up into 2 purchases of £50) can potentially get you 2x 150 points.

          However, one gift card of £100 would only get you 1x 150 points in-store.

    I’m not gonna bother this year with no 3V but it felt so wasteful taking so many brochures then only using a tiny sliver of paper from each one.

    I ended up putting most of them back with the voucher removed thinking “normal” Tesco shoppers would still want them but thinking about it, I probably just annoyed a load of voucher hunters!

  • Jim says:
    20 Nov20 November 12:17

    Could this be combined with the Heathrow Rewards promotion? ie buy gift cards that will be accepted by retailers at Heathrow and then use those at Heathrow to trigger the £100 spend requirement?

  • yi says:
    20 Nov20 November 12:38

    The 100 bonus points coupon mentions that it excludes visa branded cards. Does this mean, it won’t work with gospendit cards?

    • avidsaver says:
      20 Nov20 November 12:48

      Where does it say it excludes visa branded cards? I have several of these coupons and see no mention of this. It does say “exc Tesco, F&F and Xbox Cards”.

    • ynot says:
      20 Nov20 November 16:20

      although its an old voucher shown, and it said it didnt work with visa cards, it did work with the 3V Visa cards. You can usually ignore a lot of the Tesco small print on restrictions as their IT system seems unable to distinguish. Different story in all the other supermarkets.
