Up to 8,000 Clubcard points (19,200 Avios) when you buy Michelin tyres

Last August, I wrote about one of the latest Tesco ventures – Tesco Tyres – run by Scottish group blackcircles.com. Ironically, though, the promotion discussed here is not available via the Tesco Tyres website, only at blackcircles.

blackcircles.com offers Tesco Clubcard points on all makes and sizes of tyre, but this promotion is only for Michelin car and 4×4 tyres of 19 inches or greater diameter.  Here is the deal:

If you spend over £800, you will receive 8,000 bonus Clubcard points (19,200 Avios points or 20,000 Virgin Flying Club miles).

Spend between £600 – £800 and you will receive 5,900 bonus Clubcard points.

Spend between £400 – £600 and you will receive 3,800 bonus Clubcard points.

This is a substantial increase on the usual number of points you would have received, although the exact increase will vary depending on the combination of tyre sizes and number of tyres that make up your order.

If you take tyres smaller than 19 inches, the following Michelin bonuses apply:

If you spend over £800, you will receive 3,000 bonus Clubcard points.

Spend between £600 – £800 and you will receive 2,150 bonus Clubcard points.

Spend between £400 – £600 and you will receive 1,300 bonus Clubcard points.

All bonus points are ON TOP of the usual 1 Clubcard point per £1 spent!

This is a generous deal – at a valuation of 1p per Avios, you are getting the equivalent of 25% back in rewards! If you ended up converting the points to Avios during a bonus period, it would be an even better deal. The company claims it will attempt to price match if you can find a better deal elsewhere for the same tyres, so the Avios are genuinely a bonus on top.

It is not clear when this offer ends – there is no date on the website. It is certainly worth a look if you are in the market for new tyres.

How to earn Avios from UK credit cards (January 2023)

As a reminder, there are various ways of earning Avios points from UK credit cards.  Many cards also have generous sign-up bonuses!

In February 2022, Barclaycard launched two exciting new Barclaycard Avios Mastercard cards with a bonus of up to 25,000 Avios. You can apply here.

You qualify for the bonus on these cards even if you have a British Airways American Express card:

There are two official British Airways American Express cards with attractive sign-up bonuses:

SPECIAL OFFER: Until 21st February 2023, the sign-up bonus on the British Airways Premium Plus American Express card is increased to 35,000 Avios from 25,000 Avios. You can apply here.

You can also get generous sign-up bonuses by applying for American Express cards which earn Membership Rewards points.

Run your own business?

We recommend Capital On Tap for limited companies. You earn 1 Avios per £1 which is impressive for a Visa card, along with a sign-up bonus worth 10,500 Avios.

SPECIAL OFFER: Capital On Tap has increased its sign-up bonus to points worth 30,000 Avios if you apply by 4th February. This is exclusive to Head for Points readers. Click here to apply.

You should also consider the British Airways Accelerating Business credit card. This is open to sole traders as well as limited companies and has a 30,000 Avios sign-up bonus.

There are also generous bonuses on the two American Express Business cards, with the points converting at 1:1 into Avios. These cards are open to sole traders as well as limited companies.
