Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

Get 2,400 Avios via Clubcard with Beats headphones and 12,000 Avios on a Dyson

Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission.  See here for all partner links.

Tesco Direct is running a special deal on Beats headphones until 25th November.

As you can see from this page, 17 pairs comes with 1,000 bonus Clubcard points.  This would convert into 2,400 Avios or 2,500 Virgin Flying Club miles.

They range in price from £79 to £200+.  None are worth buying purely for the points but if you were thinking of some headphones as a Christmas gift then it is worth a look.

Secondly, there is a bonus of 5,000 points (12,000 Avios) on one particular Dyson vacuum cleaner range, the V6 cordless version.

There are four different models available – click here to see them.  The cheapest is £299 which, if you are in the market for a cordless Dyson, looks like a good deal with 12,000 Avios thrown in.

The offer ends on 17th November.

    Veering a little OT, how long do clubcard conversions to flying club normally take? Thanks

  • Liz says:

    I had that before – just send them a support ticket telling them it’s disappeared from your list and they will fix it.

  • Andrew A says:

    Mine posted twice but without the 20% bonus so I have 34,000 instead off 17,000. My OH says this happens every time boost is on as it doubles the amount you get…… I will wait and see if they get taken back. Fingers crossed.

    • James67 says:

      Thanks Nick and Andrew, mines have posted overnight too including the 15% bonus as repoerted by Saif but nog twice so you may just hve struck it Rich Andrew.

  • Tilly71 says:

    The £299 dyson is now £249.99 so if you did purchase make sure you contact them for your price difference refund or wait until black Friday as they may fall lower that day.
