Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

Reminder: 3,600 Avios for £60 Tesco grocery spend still working

Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission.  See here for all partner links.

I have run this as a ‘4th post’ today because there is nothing new in it.  I do however want to remind anyone who missed this offer when I first posted about it two weeks ago that it is still working.

Using code XXPJPY, you will receive 1,500 bonus Tesco Clubcard points when you do a £60 grocery spend.

The code is meant to work until 30th June.  In the past, Tesco codes have stopped working early when they reach some pre-determined ‘maximum number of uses’.  This code has not yet reached that level.

That said, this code does not work for everyone.

It will definitely work if you open a new Tesco Clubcard account.  It is also working for people who have not done a Tesco grocery order for ‘a while’ – although it is not clear how long ‘a while’ is.  It worked fine for me but I have not done a Tesco grocery order for at least a year.

The quickest way to see if it works is to go to the Tesco grocery site and do a dummy order for £60 (search for ‘veuve’ and put two bottles in your basket!). Click checkout, select a random delivery slot, go to the payment page (do not put in a credit card number) and enter the code. The box is halfway down the payment page.

If it has worked, you will see this on your screen:

rsz_1rsz_1tesco

The voucher is then stored on your account. You do NOT need to complete the dummy order – the code will still be there if you do another grocery order later on.

If you don’t want to order your groceries from Tesco, consider spending £60 on some wine, nappies, dishwasher tablets or other expensive branded items which you buy anyway. It is a very easy 3,600 Avios or 3,750 Virgin Flying Club miles if you only buy items you need anyway.

Remember that Tesco has recently dropped the price of off-peak delivery slots to just £1 so the delivery charge may be nominal if you pick the right time.

    I’ve discovered a potentially more lucrative repeat of the “cabbages” offer from some months back. Look for okra and baby aubergines – both available in the “World Vegetables” category.

    I received an additional 2000 Clubcard points for buying ~£5 of these items on my latest order – could have got even more but didn’t want to be too greedy.

    • squills says:
      3 Jun3 June 08:05

      Nice one! No bonus 1500 for us but the okra’s worth a look 😉

      Don’t forget that parallel 1500 point code the other guy mentioned.

    • Rob says:
      3 Jun3 June 08:14

      Oh no! Will take a look …..

      • Martin says:
        3 Jun3 June 10:40

        It’s still working – I’ve just placed an order for the first time in about six months and the code was accepted.

    • Gill says:
      3 Jun3 June 09:07

      The only world vegetable available here is ginger. This must be a local thing.

      • David says:
        3 Jun3 June 09:11

        Quite possibly local. I am in west London and was pleasantly surprised at the range of ‘ethnic’ products offered by Tesco. The last time I ordered from them (some years ago) I was living outside London and the selection on offer was nowhere near as good.

        • Jeremy I says:
          3 Jun3 June 09:40

          Thanks for the tip , David. We’re in West London too and have just bagged quite a bit of okra and chillies. Now to find a recipe…

        • Simon says:
          3 Jun3 June 09:55

          I can get okra and ginger as a World Vegetable but no sign of any bonus points

          • Jeremy I says:
            3 Jun3 June 09:58

            Should be a 25 points deal. Add them by item (£0.01 for chillies, and slightly more for okra) rather than by weight and the points will add up. Didn’t work for ginger when I looked, but there were some other random “world” vegetables.

          • David says:
            3 Jun3 June 10:22

            Thanks for the additional link Simon – works for me too, but I had to sign in before I could see the list of products.

  • AndrewM says:

    Maybe you’ve jinxed it – just tried it and it says:
    “Sorry, there seems to be a problem
    Sorry, this eCoupon cannot be accepted as it has already been used the maximum number of times.”

    • thesaver79 says:

      I’m getting the same error.

    • Rob says:
      3 Jun3 June 14:14

      See comments below …. still works for others, this must be Tesco’s way of saying that it doesn’t love you!

  • Erico1875 says:
    3 Jun3 June 08:20

    Can it be used with different names all at the same address? We have 4 club card accounts in our family

  • Peter Cashen says:

    Added Okras but no bonus!?

  • Max says:

      Rocket chillies not sold loose in my area, only prepacked – lucky you!

    • Anon says:
      3 Jun3 June 12:16

      How do you select an alt. store to choose offers from???

      • Simon says:
        3 Jun3 June 12:24

        You need to choose to collect your order then you should be given a list of stores nearby. to choose from.

    • erico1875 says:
      3 Jun3 June 13:54

      Beautiful 🙂

  • Michalis says:
    3 Jun3 June 12:34

    Just did a regular shopping but bought a few hot chillies to heat up my avios.
    Considering doing another 2-3 chilly only deliveries. Do you think I will run into issues with Tesco?

  • Michalis says:
    3 Jun3 June 13:55

    Well even if you don’t need anything you can always do an order with delivery for under £6 (£0.89 for chilies + £4 charge + £1 delivery) for 2,500 clubcard points. I have definitely seen worse offers and like that you don’t need to buy stuff you don’t really need.

    I do not know which stores have them but you can do delivery (central london was fine). Already did two orders (one regular grocery and one for just the chilies – can’t wait to see the look on the driver’s face on that) from central london and works perfectly.
    If there are still more by tonight when I get home I will do another 1 or 2 proper orders for stuff that I need. The main issue I see now is actually being at home to accept all these deliveries. 😀

    • Max says:
      3 Jun3 June 14:12

      Why buy just chillies when you can order okra (and other veggies) too for more CC points:
      eg:
      99 Tesco Okra Loose
      £5.41
      99 Tesco Rocket Chillies Loose
      £0.89
      Total Clubcard points
      5125

      (make chilli paste and freeze the okra after chopping it up for future use)
      🙂

      • Michalis says:
        3 Jun3 June 14:26

        That’s a good idea but i can’t see the okra loose which is a good value.
        The other veggies are more expensive than occurring the £4 charge each time to make it worth it (of course limited by the time). The eddoes for example (19p each) will cost me an extra £18 to get the same points while the chilies will cost only £5 more (so marginally worse than an okra order).
        Of course genuine shopping is a better value but only if you need all the extra stuff/willing to spend 5X what you would pay do just get the points.

      • ankomonkey says:
        3 Jun3 June 16:32

        Try

        99 Rocket Chillies Loose £0.99
        99 Baby Aubergines Loose £13.02
        99 Okra Loose £5.41

        Total Clubcard points = 7444

        While you cost per Clubcard point is lower I’m happy to pay some more to get more Clubcard points. I just hope I get all the points…

        • Jason says:
          3 Jun3 June 16:48

          Have placed an order, but not sure how confident i am will go through (could only do delivery as no stores to collect)

          99 Tesco Rocket Chillies Loose £0.01 £0.89 works out to more than 25 clubcard ponits per 1p. Even if don’t convert them to avios, plenty you can do with 2,475 CC points for 0.89p!

          • jb says:
            3 Jun3 June 18:53

            I just bought 3 x Okra Loose in store and got zero points ( and was sign stating 25 points each loose one)

          • TimS says:
            3 Jun3 June 19:59

            I had the same happen to me in store this evening, even though the shelf label mentioned 25 bonus cc points.

            Maybe the promotion has been suspended/pulled centrally but local stores not informed?

          • Simon says:
            3 Jun3 June 20:40

            Same here as well, bought 2 Okra, 1 sweet potato and 1 eddoe, there was a sign advertising 25 points but I got nothing (apart from 1 bag reuse point!).

            The items are sold by weight so I would have had to weigh each Okra individually for the till to know I bought 2.

          • Michalis says:
            3 Jun3 June 20:49

            Well I am waiting the 1st delivery tomorrow. Then I got another one on Thursday. Will see how that goes. If that works I will do at least 2 more.

            Will let you guys know how it goes.

          • Simon says:
            3 Jun3 June 22:41

            I’ve got a collection as well for tomorrow, I’ll let you know what happens.

    • Lady London says:

      Is this where we say “far out..!”
      ***** law I’m on a plane off somewhere tomorrow.
