Get 1,000 Clubcard points (2,400 Avios) for £4.48 via blinkbox
Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission. See here for all partner links.
blinkbox is an online, downloadable, film and TV rental service – a clone of Netflix or the downloadable LoveFilm option.
Tesco bought blinkbox last year and now seem to be giving it a marketing push. As such, they are offering 1,000 Tesco Clubcard points to the next 10,000 people to sign-up.
Here is the sign-up page you need.
The terms and conditions contain a sneaky clause, so watch out. Here is a summary:
- The deal started yesterday (14th January) and runs to January 28th or when 10,000 people have joined
- You must download TWO films before January 28th to trigger the bonus. Simply signing up is not enough.
- You cannot get the bonus if you use an ipad or an Xbox to access blinkbox. Unless you have a very modern TV, you will therefore need to download the two films to your PC. (They can, presumably, be transferred to an ipad to watch later.)
- You can download films to watch later (within 30 days) – indeed, unless you internet connection is fast enough, you have no choice!
- One film must be at the full price of £3.49. The second can be a 99p oldie if you want!
- New customers only
So, a few rules, the iPad one being the most significant. However, for £4.48 it is definitely a decent deal!
