Get 200 free Club Eurostar points, worth £15 – virtually no effort required

Club Eurostar appears to be running a generous promotion to get people to sign up to its free newsletter.

I found this offer by accident. I was on the site, looking for information on how to change a ticket for an upcoming trip, and up popped a pop-up.

I tried to capture the pop-up but I messed up and only saved the central image, which looks like this:

Get 200 free Club Eurostar points (worth £15+)

Club Eurostar wanted to give me 200 points for opting in to their newsletter.

That’s fine by me! Even after the devaluation last year, I still value Club Eurostar points at 7p to 10p each as we wrote here. Let’s call it £15 of value for 200 points.

(If you use 200 points for a discount on a cash ticket, and not a redemption, they are worth £5.)

I logged out and logged back in as my wife. She got the same pop-up message. Thank you very much.

A few points to note:

  • I got this on desktop – I don’t know if it works on mobile
  • I had to click around a bit after logging in before the pop-up appeared
  • If you have blocked pop-ups in your browser then you might not see it – it depends how it has been coded
  • You won’t see the offer if you’re not logged in to Club Eurostar – it requires Eurostar to already have your personal data on file because all you are asked to do is click a ‘Yes’ button to be opted-in

The 200 free Club Eurostar points are meant to appear in your account within 48 hours but appear to be virtually instant.


How to get Club Eurostar points and lounge access from UK credit cards

How to get Club Eurostar points and lounge access from UK credit cards (December 2024)

Club Eurostar does not have a UK credit card.  However, you can earn Club Eurostar points by converting Membership Rewards points earned from selected UK American Express cards

Cards earning Membership Rewards points include:

Membership Rewards points convert at 15:1 into Club Eurostar points.  The cards above all earn 1 Membership Rewards point per £1 spent on your card, so you will get the equivalent of 1 Club Eurostar point for every £15 you spend.

American Express Platinum comes with a great Eurostar benefit – Eurostar lounge access!  

You can enter any Eurostar lounge, irrespective of your ticket type, simply by showing The Platinum Card at the desk.  No guests are allowed but you can get entry for your partner by issuing them with a free supplementary Amex Platinum card on your account.

    Thanks and worked for me as well and appeared instantly.

    Also worth getting the 200 points for your partner as well even if they don’t yet have a Eurostar account. Eurostar only let you transfer 500 points or more from one person to another so an additional hack is that you transfer him / her 300 points from your account to theirs and now they have 500 which you then transfer back into your account……….so its now actually 400 free points.

    As Rob has mentioned in the past doing a transfer of points also resets the clock on when the points in your account expire.

      Sorry it must be a Saturday morning as my maths was not so smart……you will need to transfer them 500 miles so they then have 700 points which you can then transfer back to your account

    • Alex Sm says:

      How will you transfer 300 if minimum 500 is allowed? 🤔

      • meta says:

        This is a negative change which I think wasn’t mentioned when new-old scheme was re-launched. The minimum used to be 100 points with no caps. Now you can also only send 6000 points per year. Big thumbs down.

        • Lumma says:

          Without that 6000 limit, this could’ve been an infinite money glitch

          • meta says:

            This was introduced before this promo, so when this promo ends 6000 limit will remain. It’s a permanent negative change. It makes it difficult to use small amounts. It was especially useful for people who don’t travel often on Eurostar (like my parents). I suspect many earned points from actual travel will remain unused.

  • TJ says:

    Used mobile browser and offer popped up immediately after logging in.

  • BarryStantonGB says:

    What’s to stop a person with 300 or more points signing up and sending the points on to their partner who then signs up and sends their points on to an email account who signs up and then passes them on, and keep repeating this until you’re bored and then send them back to the original account with rather a lot of points. At £15 per 5 minutes it could be a lucrative way to spend the day

      9. Eurostar reserves the right to revoke bonus reward points and/or terminate a Club Eurostar Member’s membership if, in the reasonable opinion of Eurostar, a participant commits a breach of these terms and conditions, or carries out fraudulent activity (e.g., creates multiple Club Eurostar accounts in order to claim bonus reward points multiple times) during the Promotional Period.

    Travelling so tried on mobile browsers chrome and Firefox for android. Couldn’t for the life of me find the ‘unsubscribe from newsletter’ link, so had to go into email archive to find one of their newsletters. Clicked that link to unsubscribe, then refreshed browser window and popup appeared.
    Wanted to log out to do other half s account and no option appears for logout either!
    Ended up doing the other accounts via Firefox private tabs so it didn’t keep me logged into to previous account.
    More difficult than needed to be, but still only 10mins work for 600 points.

  • Mark says:

    I assume these points will count as activity on the account and reset the points expiry clock?

  • Rich says:

    Keep an eye out for surveys from Eurostar too.

    I’ve done 4 now, at 100 points each. Certainly takes some of the sting out of the price increases

  • vlcnc says:

    Seems to only work instantly if you get the pop-up not from the sign-up page. I unsubscribed from everything in the settings then navigated back to my dashboard and got the pop-up and clicked yes and was applied instantly. Pop-up blockers including in-browser ones like in Chrome will block it though Rob is right.

  • Delbert says:

    Still working fine. I signed into my wife’s account this evening and was immediately met with promotion pop-up window in Safari.

    I’m already signed up to newsletter, but unsubscribed and was immediately offered 200 points without having to sign out.

    Both sets of points immediately credited to our respective accounts and for very little effort. Thanks, Rob.
