A Tesco to Avios conversion bonus – but targeted
Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission. See here for all partner links.
Good news! Tesco has launched a ‘Clubcard to Avios’ conversion bonus. The bad news is that it is strictly targeted to a few people, seemingly people who have not converted to BA or avios.com before.
This is the deal:
Exchange £5 of Clubcard vouchers to BA or avios.com before 7th September
You will receive 6,000 Avios instead of the usual 1,200 Avios
Avios is promoting this as a ‘Part Pay With Avios’ opportunity. They are NOT suggesting that you use the Avios for free flights – which is a good job, as 6000 won’t get you far.
This is the text:
For every £2.50 in Clubcard vouchers you exchange, you’ll usually receive 600 Avios. But as a specially selected Clubcard customer, if you exchange £5 in Clubcard vouchers by 7 September, we’ll top up your balance to 6,000 Avios. That’s enough for £40 off a pair or £20 off two British Airways flights to a European destination.
I doubt many HfP readers will have got this. If you did get it on the account of a family member, you might want to do it and then create a Household Account with that person – or simply use their account to book a redemption or get the discount for yourself.
