New non-travel Tesco Clubcard redemption ideas which are worth a look
Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.
The Tesco Clubcard coverage on Head for Points is, obviously, focussed towards Avios and Virgin Flying Club redemptions.
I am certainly not blinded into thinking that those are the best ways to redeem your Clubcard vouchers, however.
I wrote this long article last November looking at the other travel deals offered.
More recently, I wrote about how to book UK and Ireland Hilton family hotels using Clubcard.
Double your vouchers at Tesco Direct
Travel redemptions are not the ‘be all and end all’.
Tesco is currently running an excellent redemption deal with Tesco Direct.
As you can see here, you can currently redeem your Clubcard vouchers for double their face value for ANY purchase at Tesco Direct.
EVERYTHING on Tesco Direct, except products sold by 3rd party partners and mobile phone credit, is available.
Want an iPad? You can effectively get one for half price. Playstation 4? Check. Pretty much everything else you’d find in your typical Argos catalogue? Check.
If you have £20 of Clubcard vouchers, you could order £40 of goods from Tesco Direct or swap them for 4,800 Avios points. On the basis that there would definitely be something at Tesco Direct you wanted, you would by ‘paying’ 0.83p per Avios point.
This isn’t a bad deal, of course, but I look to pick them up for 0.75p or less. Using your vouchers in the Tesco Direct promotion may make sense.
All of the rules can be found on this Tesco Direct page.
The offer ends on September 13th.
An interesting Telegraph deal
If you are a Daily Telegraph reader, you might be interested to know that Tesco now offers digital subscription packs for Clubcard vouchers.
As per this page, you will receive a full 7-day digital sub to the Daily and Sunday Telegraph for just £20 of Clubcard vouchers. This is an attractive deal in my view.
