Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

SUNDAY ONLY: 2,400 Avios when you spend £100 at Tesco Wine

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

Tesco Wine has launched a one day discount code which expires tonight (Sunday).

It is worth 1,000 Clubcard points when you spend £100 at the Tesco Wine website.

1,000 Clubcard points would, of course, convert into 2,400 Avios points or 2,500 Virgin Flying Club miles.

The code you need is XXMHHF.  Simply add the code to your order on the final payment page where it says “Use Clubcard vouchers and eCoupons” and the 1,000 extra Clubcard points will be added to your account immediately.

There is no major sale going on alongside this.  However, if you look at the ‘Special Offers’ tab you will find a number of wines reduced.  If you can match up a good deal and use the 1,000 points code (which could be worth £30+ in Clubcard Boost deals if used wisely) you will be doing very nicely indeed.

Click here to visit the wine site and see what is available.  Don’t forget to order TODAY and to add at least £100 of wine to your basket to trigger the bonus.

    Thanks Raffles (and Dom) – very timely as I need to stock up on some vino

    • Johnnycl says:

      Genghis, OT but I recall you asking about lounge options at IST recently?

      I was passing through yesterday and used the Primeclass CIP lounge which was good. It’s a nice space with different seating options (tables, sofas, stools etc.) and was not overcrowded. There wasn’t a massive food selection available but I was only there briefly for breakfast so it was sufficient for a cup of turkish tea and a croissant.

      It was a bit of a trek to the BA gate though which was at the opposite end, but also highlighted how packed the terminal was, so definitely worth using a lounge. I’ve not been to other lounges there so can’t compare, but would be happy to use this lounge again.

      • Genghis says:

        Yes. We used the Primeclass CIP lounge from around 4pm. Was relatively busy but got a table and comfy chairs. Decent food (stir fry and crispy chicken – almost karaage style) and a panna cotta for pud. My wife had a drinkable glass of wine and I just had coke (glass bottles so tastes much better). Sounds like we had a similar experience

  • Anon says:

    I’m all over this, thanks guys! 😀

  • Marek says:

  • Anon says:

  • Anon says:

    • AndyGWP says:

      Subscribe to the emails – very rare I go on the site so the emails are a bit of a reminder and a kick to make sure i’m not missing anything 🙂

  • harry says:

    Did anybody else wonder why Tesco would release a code just for 24 hrs?

    Surely a test…

    • Nick says:

      harry, I need info on the Dragon Pass deal. Do I have to open a Barclays current account to take advantage of 6 passes?

      • harry says:

        Barclays current a/c, free

        they cancel the passes when you cancel travel pack plus

        so: time your £13.50 sub (1 month)

        you can download the app to get you in, as soon as you pay & register

  • Guy says:

    Sorry don’t know that nw1309, but a good avios return for Apple is at a Heathrow Dixon’s Travel. My wife got a new iPad there last week – 3 Heathrow Rewards/ £ (double points deal plus premium tier). Paid for with Curry’s vouchers from Tesco. Ordered it in advance via the Heathrow boutique site – and easy, as long as you don’t mind holding the till up whilst 25 gift cards are scanned! 5850 avios in all on a £500 iPad she was going to buy on the high street.

    • Gavin says:

      I had an old phone to trade in when I got my 6S… Shamefully bought it at the apple store as this gave me a £75 saving from trade in … No avios but I didn’t see another way to get as good as a return without being phoneless

      • Imbruce says:

        We usually sell our phones on eBay and get a good price or try Computer Exchange, credits work well towards game purchases if that is your thing or though they will pay cash usually less than if you were taking a credit for a game. Check their website out for the price they will pay for the phone first.

  • Gavin says:

    Cheers Raffles and Dom… boosts the CC points for the quarter!
