Excellent deal with E.ON for power – and get 1,500 Clubcard points (3,600 Avios)
Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.
Back in May I ran an introduction to earning Clubcard points with gas and electricity provider E.ON. E.ON is one of the lesser known Tesco Clubcard partners. This is because, since the end of 2013, you do NOT earn Tesco Clubcard points directly from them.
E.ON has its own rewards scheme – E.ON Rewards – and it is those points which can be converted into Tesco Clubcard.
The other reason it is low key is that E.ON Rewards is an ‘opt in’ scheme. If you don’t sign up, you don’t earn any points, even though E.ON is supplying your fuel.
E.ON Rewards is simplicity itself. You can find an introduction to the scheme here.
You earn a capped 1,500 E.ON Rewards points per year for being on an eligible electricity or dual fuel tariff
Points accrue daily and are awarded monthly
You can either transfer these to Tesco Clubcard (1:1, no minimum) or for Bonusbond high street shopping vouchers (500 = £5 voucher)
Points expire after two years if not redeemed
Points do NOT transfer automatically. You need to go onto the E.ON Rewards website to move them across.
As you can see, E.ON appears to be quietly hoping that many customers either fail to opt-in to the scheme or, if they do, forget about it and let their points expire!
Why you may want to sign up with E.ON now
1,500 Clubcard points per year is worth 3,600 Avios or 3,750 Virgin Flying Club miles.
Given the size of the most gas and electricity bills, however, this is a drop in the ocean. Your priority should be to find the cheapest supplier and only then, if it is E.ON, take the points into account.
At the moment, however, E.ON is VERY competitive for most people.
As you can read about here, moneysavingexpert.com has signed up with E.ON to organise a ‘bulk switch’. What this means is that – in return for getting an exclusive, exceptionally competitive, tariff from E.ON – MSE will try to get as many of its millions of readers as possible to switch.
You have until September 17th to sign up for this tariff. The MSE site here can show you how the tariff compares to what you are currently paying and what else is available on the market.
As well as negotiating this exclusive tariff, MSE will pay you £30 cashback once you have switched.
You will also earn 1,500 Clubcard points over the next year if you choose to convert your E.ON Rewards points to Tesco – and those points will get you 3,600 Avios or 3,750 Virgin Flying Club miles.
