Love Clubcard, don’t collect Avios? You should be reading our sister site, Shopper Points (www.shopperpoints.co.uk), which covers the latest Clubcard and Nectar offers without any distracting frequent flyer talk! Why not check it out now?
Both Avios and Virgin Flying Club have now emailed me with their ‘promotions’ to persuade you to convert your new batch of Tesco Clubcard vouchers.
Neither should tempt you!
Avios
Here is the Avios (avios.com to be precise) version:
Competition to win 50,000 Avios
Ten prizes available
One entry for every £5 of vouchers you transfer
Deadline for transfers is 14th June
This offer is not yet showing on the Avios page on the Tesco website (EDIT: it is now, but it incorrectly shows the closing date as 14 May) but I doubt it is targeted. Historically it has taken Tesco a few days to catch up.
Whilst this is certainly not an offer to justify a conversion in itself, if you were planning to convert to Tesco then you might as well do it via avios.com and not British Airways Executive Club. You need to be in it to win it, after all …. You can move your Avios back and forth afterwards via ‘Combine My Avios’.
Virgin Flying Club
Meanwhile Virgin Flying Club has launched something similar.
Competition to win 100,000 miles plus a ‘Guest List’ experience on your next flight (see this post to learn about Guest List)
Eight runner-up prizes of 50,000 miles
No minimum conversion amount
Deadline for transfers is 6th June
Virgin is also offering 1,000 miles for selecting ‘auto conversion’ for your future Tesco statements. If you have a dormant Tesco Clubcard account, you can get an easy 1,000 Virgin miles here. Go into your personal details and tell Tesco to auto-convert future points (which you won’t be earning, as the card is dormant!) to Virgin. You will receive the 1,000 miles OK – I have done this in the past.
Selecting auto conversion will also enter you into the competition above.
Again, these offers are not yet on the Clubcard / Virgin website.
