    Not desperately keen! The individual topics are tagged. I’m not sure that anyone is desperately keen to see a page showing only the ‘bits’ articles!

      I would be. They are often the best threads.

  If I set my Tesco Clubcard to auto convert to Flying Club, does it move the *points* & *vouchers* or just the points?

  The website mentions auto converting *points* a few times but then there is one mention of converting the vouchers on the opt-in page.

  Only want the points converted, not the vouchers.

  Virgin does release more reward seats depending on how well the flight is selling, but there s a risk you might not get what you want.

  For the ‘2000 free Virgin Miles’ offer, my CC account is currently set up to autoconvert to BAEC. Can I change it to Virgin, and then when the 2000 Virgin miles are uploaded, switch back to BAEC again without any issue?

  • Rob says:

    Yes – but make sure that you do remember to switch it back, and also to switch it back 2-3 weeks before the next lot of vouchers are issued. Do NOT switch it on the last day of the collecting quarter, Tesco seems to require advance notice!

    • Andrew says:

      Thank you! I switched from BAEC to Flying Club this afternoon so I will keep an eye out for the 2000 points in my Virgin account, and switch back as soon as they’re in. I don’t use Virgin Atlantic much but 2000 points is not to be sniffed at!

      Thanks for these daily updates – they’re an absolute godsend. You’re efforts are appreciated at this end!

      I have switched two accounts but no miles yet.
      How long does it normally take please?

      • Andrew says:

        Tesco Clubcard just told me this on Twitter:

        “You’d receive your Virgin Atlantic Flying Club points within 28 days of placing your request.”

      • Andrew says:

        I’ve just had it confirmed to me by Tesco that if you were previously autoconverting from Avios, and then switched to Flying Club, you aren’t elible for the 2000 miles. You’re only eligible if you’ve never autoconverted before.

        So you would have to start a new account, perhaps from another household member.

          Did you get their name? Sounds like BS to me so they need re-educating
