moneysavingexpert.com has negotiated a special Tesco Grocery code worth 500 bonus Clubcard points.  This is worth 1,200 Avios or 1,250 Virgin Flying Club miles.

The rules are simple.  You must spend £60 excluding tobacco, stamps etc for delivery between Thursday and Sunday this week.  As this is the peak Christmas shopping period, you should act quickly if you want to reserve a delivery slot before Sunday night.

The code will work for both new and existing Tesco Grocery customers.  This is impressive as most codes for bonus Clubcard points with groceries are restricted to first-time users.

Go to the Tesco Grocery website and enter code XXMNGM at check-out.  All should work OK!

The code is capped at 15,000 orders.

    Amex triple voucher, can some explain!!!!

    • Rob says:

      There was a coupon posted out recently which said ‘triple points on your next shop as a thank you for being an American Express cardholder’. Only triples BASE points though, not bonus.

  • Adam says:

    Thanks raffles a great deal!

  • Frankie McPolin says:

    Slightly OT but very much avios related. Does anyone know if I can earn avios on a Malaysian airlines flight that I’ve booked through expedia and if so how? My partner and I are flying Malaysia on boxing day to Sydney which is a long way (albeit in economy, though upstairs on MH3 which is a380 so not totally awful I hope). They are part of oneworld, so I hoped I might earn avios, or will I not as I booked on expedia?

    • Rob says:

      Yes, you earn Avios. With airlines (unlike hotels) you ALWAYS earn miles, wherever you book.

      You may be able to add your BA number via the Malaysia websites equivalent of ‘Manage My Booking’. If not, get it added at check-in.

      You will earn a pile of BA tier points as well.

      • Frankie McPolin says:

        Thanks for this information Raffles

      • callum says:

        I know what you mean when you said ALWAYS, but I wouldn’t use that term in this example.

        Malaysian have several fares that earn zero Avios, so depending on their fare class they may not earn anything. Looking at some random flights on Malaysian from LON-SYD next February, all the cheapest fares are “N” class and so earn nothing.

        • Rob says:

          Good point Callum. To be honest I was not fully up to speed with the earnings rates in BAEC – I am surprised some are at zero.

          If that is the case (and if you do have N-class tickets) then it is worth having a look at what % of miles flown you would get in the American Airlines programme or of course Enrich itself. The problem with Enrich is that there is no easy way of topping up your miles if you don’t earn enough for a free flight – there are various ways of getting additional American miles such as through their credit card or a transfer from a hotel scheme.

  • Peter Hart says:

    Or maybe Frankie they just get awarded to your oneworld account – that would make more sense.

  • Frankie McPolin says:

    I don’t have a oneworld account or a Malaysia’s Enrich account. I only have a BAEC account.

    • Nick says:

      Just do exactly what Rob has said. TBH, It’d be easier to just get your BAEC number added at check in. Keep hold of your boarding pass just in case they don’t get added. You can then scan and send it to BA.

  • scottydoobuy says:

    Thanks for the heads up just got 629 points for a £63 shop

  • Steve says:

    I also had a £6 off £40 shop plus if you take advantage of the 20% off 3 bottles Tesco’s Finest save even more

  • Robert says:

    3 bottles of champagne just delivered!
