What we know about the new Clubcard conversion offers for British Airways and Virgin Atlantic

Tesco Clubcard points from the last collection period should now be showing online at tesco.com.
If you are thinking of where to convert, we now have an inkling of what is available in terms of incentives:
If you convert to Avios via an avios.com account, you will be entered into a competition. Every £2.50 you convert gets you one entry. Two people will win 50000 Avios, three people will win 25000 Avios and 150 people will win 5500 Avios. The deadline to convert to be entered is 28th February. Details are here.
If you convert to Avios via a BA account …. we don’t know. I am willing to bet on British Airways offering a competition of some sorts but the details may not appear for a day or so. You may want to hold off converting until you can compare the two.
If you convert to Virgin Flying Club, there appears to be a 20% conversion bonus. I stress ‘appears’ because – whilst people who auto-convert to Virgin seem to have had a 20% bonus applied – there is no mention yet on either the Clubcard or Virgin Atlantic websites. I would expect full details in a few days. Keep an eye on the Virgin / Tesco website page here.
(EDIT: The Virgin deal is now confirmed and runs until 15th March.)
Personally ….. I am converting to Uber at the moment. It is a ‘genuine’ 3x face value deal and our Uber spend is fairly high. My choice is converting every £10 of vouchers into either £30 of Uber credit or 2400 Avios or 2500 Virgin miles. This means I would be ‘paying’ 1.25p per Avios or 1.2p per Virgin mile (1p with the 20% bonus) if I took those instead and I’m not willing to pay that.
Love Clubcard, don’t collect Avios? You should be reading our sister site, Shopper Points (www.shopperpoints.co.uk), which covers the latest Clubcard and Nectar offers without any distracting frequent flyer talk! Why not check it out now?
