Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

It’s good to see that someone at Tesco still has a sense of humour despite the terrible financial results recently.

Blinkbox, Tesco’s ‘video on demand’ subsidiary, is running a new promotion to celebrate the release on ‘video on demand’ of Game of Thrones series four.

Game of Thrones

For £17.99 in standard definition, you receive:

Game of Thrones Series 4 to stream from Blinkbox

1,000 Tesco Clubcard points (2,400 Avios or 2,500 Virgin Flying Club miles)

A voucher for a free Tesco Finest 10 inch pizza!

The offer runs until 31st July and you have until 3rd August to claim your free pizza.

There is also a less interesting offer of 250 Clubcard points for ordering any previous series of Game of Thrones.

Purely for the Avios points, this is not a bad deal.  Assuming you value the pizza at its cost price of £5 then you are effectively paying £12.99 for 2,400 Avios – just 0.54p each.

Full details can be found on the Blinkbox website here.

A HP ink deal too ….

This isn’t worth a full post but I will squeeze it in here.

Until July 3rd, Tesco is offering (in-store only) 250 Clubcard points when you buy 2 HP printer inks.

In the past this deal offered 500 points.  I once bought the cartridges and resold them on eBay at a small loss but gaining all of the points.  This won’t work here as the points are not enough to justify it.  If your printer uses HP cartridges you might want to stock up for personal use.

The ink deal runs until July 3rd.  It is not available online even for online grocery orders.

    Hi,
    Did the free pizza voucher come through via email allowing to redeem online as part iof a grocery order or is it instore purchase only.
    Thx

    • Rob says:

      It is in the t and c’s, I seem to remember they email you a voucher to use instore.

  • Andy says:

    Slightly OT, but just noticed that the 2,000 points, (from the £1 ebook deal on Blinkbox,) have posted this morning to my Clubcard account. Lots of people were concerned that they might not, but 20x ebooks, all at £1 worked for me. Worth checking your own accounts 🙂

    • Graham says:

      Can confirm. I shall be doing it for my other account now! 🙂

    • Stuart says:

      With the ebook deal do you have to do 20 £1 transactions?

      • TimS says:

        Yes, no way of adding multiple items to a shopping basket unfortunately.

        • Idrive says:

          You get used after a couple of them! It’s boring though searching for and selecting the £1 pounds books i feel like if someone breaks into my account.. They would find a lot of “confessions of…. Books. 😉

    • TrickyDickyRicky from Billericay says:

      Andy,

      what date were your purchases?

  • What's the Point says:

    Just eaten my free pizza – now just settling in to watch England play/lose/win…….who knows……

    • What's the Point says:

      The pizza wasn’t that great, and left me feeling unfulfilled. Much like England’s footballing skills….or lack of them.

  • Allan says:

    T&C say the pizza offer is limited to first 10,000 orders.

  • signol says:

    My pizza coupon email arrived this morning 🙂

  • Andrew says:

    2 x finest pizza for £6 (offer)
    Less Blinkbox voucher @ £4.25
    Less Clubcard vocuher @ £1

    = 75p Paid 🙂

  • Andrew says:

    OT – as for the blinboxbooks. I had somehow ordered 22 £1 books, with 1000 points posting to the May points statement. I was a little worried i might get zero with the overspend

    • Idrive says:

      You can even buy the whole catalogue there is a cap of 2000points but no restriction. On the number of books you can buy

  • Adam says:

    Down to £16.99 now.
