Good Tesco deal – earn 200 Clubcard points (480 Avios) for a £4 spend

I have been featuring a lot of bonus Clubcard offers on Head for Points recently.  It was never part of the plan, as Tesco has never historically run that many at once, but it seems that their weakening sales position has pushed them into action.

Here is another great Tesco Direct deal.

Buy any 2 Tesco branded ink cartridges and get 200 bonus points, worth 480 Avios or 500 Virgin miles.

Here is the result of the search you need to do on Tesco Direct.

You will see (assuming it is still in stock) that the cheapest cartridge is just £2, so you are paying £4 for your 480 Avios airmiles.  This is a very decent deal anyway, but if you hold your vouchers until the next Tesco to Avios conversion bonus, it will become even better.

Remember that ‘click and collect’ orders sent to your nearest store are postage free.

I don’t know if these cartridges sell well on eBay – you wouldn’t get much money in your hand after postage, eBay and Paypal fees, and you may find that its not worth the effort.  At this price, it doesn’t really matter.
