Bits: bonus Avios with Kaligo.com, 1200 Avios with Tesco’s NOW TV deal

News in brief:

Bonus Avios booking hotels with Kaligo.com

Hotel booking site Kaligo.com has been fairly quiet on the promotional front recently, following a number of very generous offers in 2015.

They now have a new offer available:

You will receive double Avios on all bookings made by 31st December 2016

The stay must be completed by 30th April 2017

First-time bookers with Kaligo.com will receive an additional 2,000 Avios

Full details can be found here.

Like similar sites such as PointsHound and Rocketmiles, hotel bookings via Kaligo.com are treated as non-qualifying stays.  This means that you won’t receive any points in Hilton HHonors, IHG Rewards Club etc or, most of the time, receive any status benefits due to you.

Assuming there is no price difference, this offer is best used when staying at a hotel outside one of the major chains.

1,200 Avios via Clubcard with £23 NOW TV deal

Until Wednesday 2nd November, Tesco Direct is giving 500 extra Clubcard points – worth 1,200 Avios or 1,250 Virgin miles – with a £23 NOW TV box.

Even better, these NOW TV boxes come with your choice of either a (click to be taken to the relevant Tesco Direct page):

• 2 months Sky Movies Pass
• 3 months Sky Entertainment Pass
• 4 months Kids Pass

If you had been thinking about adding a NOW TV box to your house – it basically lets you get access to a lot of Sky content without having a dish – this is a very decent deal.  Two months of free Sky Movies would keep you going over Christmas.
