Tesco Direct has launched a new CD pre-order promotion. This one is for the new album from Olly Murs, Never Been Better.
You will receive 200 bonus Clubcard points (480 Avios, 500 Virgin Flying Club miles) when you buy a copy for £10. It will be delivered at the end of November.
There is a snag with this deal. Unlike most pre-order promotions, the points for the CD are not added to your account immediately.
The terms and conditions of the accompanying competition (you could meet Olly!) say:
“All customers who pre order the Olly Murs album will receive a bonus 200 Clubcard points. Clubcard points will not show up in a customer’s Clubcard account immediately upon purchase. These will be available prior to their next statement being issued in February 2015.”
This is frustrating, because you need to remember to keep an eye out on a statement which you won’t receive for three months. That is extra paperwork I could do without.
Because of this rule, I would not risk ordering multiple copies of the CD. If the points did not post and you had to ring up Customer Services to get them added on, there is a chance that they would refuse on the grounds that buying more than one broke Tesco rules on bulk buying.
It isn’t worth buying this CD purely for the points – at 2p per mile it is far too expensive. However, if you know an Olly Murs fan then it might be worth picking one up and keeping it for Christmas. The link to buy is here.
PS. It may still be possible to get a grocery order placed for delivery or ‘click and collect’ on Monday – the last day – to earn 1,500 Clubcard points via this offer.
