Tesco brings back its HP printer ink deal – 500 Clubcard points (1,200 Avios) when you buy two
Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission. See here for all partner links.
I have absolutely no idea why this promotion keeps coming back in one form or another, but every few months it re-appears.
Tesco is offering 500 bonus Clubcard points when you buy 2 Hewlett-Packard printer inks. That is good for 1,200 Avios or 1,250 Flying Club miles, or 40%-50% more if you wait for another transfer bonus.
Full details can be found here.
The cheapest cartridge at the time of writing is £7.99. You are therefore looking at £15.98 for two, assuming you ‘click and collect’ in a store.
Ignoring the base Clubcard point and the miles earned on the credit card purchase, you are paying (1598 / 1200 =) 1.33p per Avios. This is not a bargain, but is cheaper than BA’s current ‘buy Avios’ price.
And, of course, you can sell the cartridges on eBay. This should bring your net cost under 1p, and if you save your Tesco Clubcard vouchers for an Avios transfer bonus then your cost per Avios could be as low as 0.6p.
