  Do you think you can get BOTH ba and avios promotions?

  • Rob says:

    23 May23 May 09:05

    Yes, don’t see why not (assuming you’ve not converted to either in past year)

  Can’t post on the 1500 bonus for Auto convert thread so I hope its OK here… If anyone is still waiting for the Auto convesion points to post to your Avios account you may have to contact Avios. I know of 4 people who signed upto auto convert for the first time and Tesco sent the points to Avios as EG J Smith and not the full name John Smith named on the Avios account . Avios then opened a new acount in the name of J Smith . A call to Avios got the cards merged..

    Im still waiting for the auto convert points to add. It was my first conversion and ive had no notification of a new avios account being set up though. Maybe I should contact them.

    Also I recently opened an avios Lloyds TSB Duo cc. Any idea how long after your first statement these points should post?

    • xcalx says:

      No notification was received. A friend contacted Tesco who said the points were sent to Avios on the 12th May, He then contacted Avios and was told that a new account had been set up using his initial not his first name

      Just got the Lloyds duo card too. My end of month bill is the 13th and looks as though the avios was in my account a couple of days after

  Is there any reason to convert more than £5 here? Given that it’s a fixed bonus, seems the same whether you convert 5 or 500.

  • Rob says:

    Not if you don’t need the Avios, keep the other vouchers in case of a bonus later.

  I have already converted 5 pounds worth of voucher on tesco just now – what concerns me is that it doesn’t even ask for my avios account number? How would they know where the avios are going to?

  • Rob says:

    23 May23 May 09:07

    It is automatic, they match name and address

      Hmm, this could be annoying as we collect clubcard points as a family (makes it easier when redeeming for other rewards as cannot combine from multiple accounts to buy things). However I’m the only one who collects Avios.
      Would they cause me problems if I changed the account to my name temporarily for a couple of weeks?

      • Rob says:

        23 May23 May 14:15

        You can’t change the name on BA or Avios accounts. Not sure if Tesco let you do it.

  • Paul says:

    I had this same concern – especially since Tesco CC transfers into BAEC do ask for your account number.

    I made a CC avios.com transfer about 2 days ago and the points have shown in my avios.com account today.

      Oh wow! thanks that’s very good to know indeed

      • Harry says:

        has the bonus 1000 avios reached at the same time as the 1200avios or is it only 1200 avios which has arrived just for the moment

• Rich says:

  Don’t suppose there is any news on a conversion bonus this year? I would have expected to have one by now. I just hope these small bonuses aren’t replacing the annual bonus!

• Neil says:

  23 May23 May 11:44

  Are Tesco conversion bonuses usually to BAEC or Avios.com?

  I guess my question is, if I were to benefit from this 1000 avios bonus to one now, would I still be eligible for any conversion bonus that comes up soon? Or would any limit on eligibility be imposed by tesco rather than BAEC/Avios.

  • Rob says:

    23 May23 May 11:45

    Bonuses tend to be for both schemes, which makes sense given the ease of converting across one to the other.

    • Neil says:

      23 May23 May 13:37

      Hmm… My position is that I have never converted from Tesco to either BAEC or Avios. I currently have about £150 worth of CC points and have been holding off for a conversion bonus. Would it be best for me to just avios this bonus in case it subsequently prevents me from benefiting from a future conversion bonus?

• AndyGWP says:

  I feel stupid, but to clarify re: the Tesco –> BA Avios offer you posted previously and also reference in the article; I’ve never converted from Tesco Clubcard to BA Avios (though I have converted to normal Avios).

  Does that make me elligible for the Tesco –> BA Avios bonus offer?

  I hadn’t really differentiated between the two previously :/

  I think (and hope) the answer is yes, but just wanted someone to confirm 🙂

  Thanks

    I’m in the same boat. Converted to avios.com when the august bonus was on last year. Can I get the BA bonus now?

    I did get an email from BAEC saying I could get 1000 for a £5 clubcard conversion though.

    And another question…are these bonuses one per household?

  • Rob says:

    23 May23 May 17:50

    Yes, it does.

  I feel a bit stupid…how to exchange the voucher from Clubcard to Avios?

  I went through exchange and rewards-> avios, selected 5£ added to basket, Clubcard checkout, Tesco confirming the address for delivery ??

  then Order Summary, Select your Clubcard vouchers ….review and confirm order??
  what am I ordering?

  they could have done it more complicated!! is this the correct procedure? thanks

  • Rob says:

    23 May23 May 17:50

    Yes, that’s the procedure. You don’t put your Avios number in, they match up your name and address automatically.
