Tesco Phone Shop offering up to 10,000 Clubcard points (24,000 Avios) with ‘pay monthly’ phones

Tesco Phone Shop has brought back bonus Clubcard points on a number of ‘pay monthly’ phone contracts.

Now, buying a mobile phone is of course a fiendishly complex task if you are determined to get the best deal. You should still shop around carefully before signing up to any of these plans.

On the face of it, though, some of the deals are looking OK.  Take the Blackberry Curve 9320.

Tesco want you to take a 24 month contract at £22 per month. That is a total of £528. The phones comes with 300 call minutes, unlimited texts and a 500MB monthly data allowance.

10,000 Tesco Clubcard points gets you 24,000 Avios points or 25,000 Virgin Flying Club miles. If you value an Avios at 1p then you are getting £240 back in Avios.

These are deals are not as generous as those on offer last year, when you could pick up 25,000 Clubcard cards for a new phone!  You also need to compare deals with other operators, as Tesco Phone Shop is unlikely to have the cheapest headline price.  As an overall package, though, there might be some decent deals here.
