Tesco has launched a new promotional code for Tesco grocery shopping via a tie-up with moneysavingexpert.com. It is pretty impressive:
1,500 bonus Clubcard points on a £60 grocery spend
Code is XXGKLX
Code expires on Monday 20th October – you need to receive the delivery, or do ‘click and collect’, by this date
This code is aimed at customers whose accounts have not had a Tesco Grocery order before.
It will also work OK if you have not done a Tesco Grocery order for some time, potentially a year or so. I got it to work successfully on my account as the screenshot below shows.
The quickest way to see if it works on an existing account 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:
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 the code does not work on your account, you may want to consider opening a new Tesco Clubcard account just for this transaction. If you are in a BA household account then it is better to use the name of someone else in your household account and send the Avios to them.
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.

About Head for Points
Strangely it states when you bank the code – expires 31/10/14 so may work after Monday. Will have to wait for someone to try it after 20th to find out.
Just did an order for a Tuesday pickup code said was valid until 31/10/14…will see if it works.
Took a screen shot of the order so from experience Tesco should honour it……although now i have said that …
Thanks squills . I have a dormant Virgin flying club account having flown with them once. Is there any advantage over Avios ?
Depends on you. For us – not really – which is why I have 100K sitting there doing nothing. Pain in the beckside, I have to keep them current.
If you’re young free & single, and you want to go to their destinations, VFC is great.
Too bad I don’t qualify for this promotion because I order shopping online from Tesco every week. It’s a real shame that they have these bonus points promotions to entice new customers instead of rewarding loyal ones.
I have tesco online delivery each week as well. You can take advantage of this offer by signing up under a different email address and ordering your groceries. Just do one order and you will get the points.
This code (XXGKLX) still seems to be valid, up until 17th Nov. I’ve not ordered and rec’d but the points total is showing at checkout, I don’t see why you wouldn’t receive them.
i’ve had a go as well – got to be worth a £15 gamble!
very true!
In a funny sequence of events, I made a qualifying order but at delivery I found out that one item was subbed for a cheaper one making the total price drop below 60 quid. The statement they gave me shows 1557 points earned, does anyone know whether these points are safe or they may reclaim them later?
100% safe
Good news guys, I thought I’d missed out on this offer, but tried it anyway and the expiry had changed to 17/11/14 🙂
Had to open anew account to bag the points. When you open a new account online, do they automatically send you a new cc in the post as when i log into the new account i cannot view the whole cc number so cannot get past security to view points?
to see if you got some points log in on to groceries and view account. I realized that one you do that, they will send the card. otherwise it won’t till you log. and first vouchers will probably come by post.
I logged back into the new account today after placing a click and collect for monday and it states to enter your clubcard number and a few other details. They state you only need to do this once and your account is fully open and they wont ask you for the clubcard number again. In my account details i can see a cc number but they only show you the last four digits so i cannot use this to complete the full registration?
