Anyone who was hoping for a conversion bonus of Tesco Clubcard points to Avios this quarter (but is anyone still that optimistic?!) will be disappointed.
We don’t know what the ba.com offer will be yet, but avios.com has launched another competition.
This is how it works:
For every £2.50 of Clubcard vouchers you convert via avios.com (not ba.com) before 31st August, you will receive one entry in the prize draw
Two people will win 50,000 Avios
Three people will win 25,000 Avios
150 people will win 5,500 Avios
Winners will be notified by 7th October.
We don’t yet know what carrot ba.com will dangle. If you don’t need to convert immediately, you might as well wait a few days and see if they launch a better or worse competition – or something entirely different.
On the other hand, if you need to convert immediately, you might as well convert via avios.com and not BA. Remember that you can move your points from avios.com to British Airways Executive Club instantly via ‘Combine My Avios’.
Full details can be found on this page of avios.com.
