Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

Slightly OT: buy a £10 Tesco gift card for £5 via Mighty Deals

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

Long-time readers may remember a special promotion that website Mighty Deals ran with Shell Drivers Club last year.  For under £9 you could buy 2,000 Shell Drivers Club points, convertible into 2,000 Avios points.

Mighty Deals has a good promotion running with Tesco this week.

For the next two days, you can buy a £10 Tesco gift card via Mighty Deals for just £5.

This is a standard Tesco plastic gift card.  It can be used either instore or online so you won’t have any difficulty using it.  You will earn Avios points or Virgin Flying Club miles via Clubcard on the full £10 when you use the gift card in Tesco.

The link to the Mighty Deals offer is here.

Apparently Mighty Deals ran similar offers for Debenhams and Argos recently.  Anyone who took part in those offers cannot take part in this one.  For the rest of us, it is a fairly straightforward £5 gain.

    Thanks Raffles. Yes, after the deal on ACHICA last year, I think I got £100 of free merchandise in the end, this could be a chance to actually give them some money!

  • Gordon says:

    When you buy you get the following message

    What happens now?
    We have just emailed you confirmation of your order. In 24 hours we will email you a unique voucher code with redemption instructions so you can redeem your product or make your booking.

    No mention of a platic card?

    • TimS says:

      The previous page mentioned a gift card being went out in the post.

      The previous Mighty Deals offer Raffles refers to (£20 shell points for £9) was also a plastic card posted out even though their website originally mentioned a code being emailed.

      • Rob says:

        They email you a code.

        You then go to a different website, enter the code, and give them the delivery address for the plastic card.

        No idea why they do this.

    • Simon85 says:

      They will email you a code within 24 hours which you then need to register on the website to get your gift card sent. Got my code yesterday, just waiting for the gift card now.

    “for some reason they treat the selling price as £4.17”

    £5 – the VAT?

  • grex9101 says:

    Don’t worry about it being OT: Any deals are good deals!

    • Tim c says:

      How many can you buy? Is it just one?

      • signol says:

        One per Mighty Deals account seems to be the case. Just like the £5 for a £10 Starbucks card from Groupon.

      • Brian says:

        One per account – i.e. one per email address. Otherwise, no limits…

  • Stephen says:

    Interestingly, I was able to pay with Amex from mobile via PayPal. On the desktop site I wasn’t offered this option.

  • Lyssie says:

    FWIW, Mighty Deals offers are banned from HUKD because of the company’s unreliability and poor customer service. People have often not received their deals at all.

    Forewarned an’ all that…

    • Rob says:

      When they ran the Shell Drivers Club deal, I did print a mini-warning. However, that deal went OK. The problems they have had seem to be more down to their suppliers (which admittedly should be vetted more carefully) rather than MD themselves. I did not caveat this post because the Shell deal (plus the Debenhams and Argos ‘£5 for £10 deals’ recently) seem to have gone off OK.

  • Phil says:

    I gave up with mightydeaks, I never got my shell points and hence avios from the last deal, despite lots of chasing

  • Praveen says:

    Can this TESCO Gift card be redeemed at a Petrol Station as unlike other Supermarkets who do not accept their own gift cards for Fuel payments.

    • Andrew S says:

      Tesco DO accept gift cards for fuel.

      Having just filled up this morning using one 🙂
