Get 10,000 Clubcard points (20,000 Virgin Points) when you redeem on easyJet Holidays

Tesco Clubcard has become less and less useful for frequent flyers in recent years. The key blow was Avios defecting to Nectar, of course, but the scheme has also lost many of its other interesting partners including Hilton and Uber.

Virgin Flying Club remains a Tesco partner (100 Clubcard points = 200 Virgin Points) but that’s about it.

Back in December 2024, however, a new travel option appeared – easyJet Holidays.

A very generous carrot is currently being dangled to get you to try it.

easyJet Holidays follows the usual Tesco format. £1 of Tesco Clubcard vouchers gets you £2 to spend at easyJet Holidays.

This isn’t very exciting in itself, but the special deal is.

You will receive 10,000 Tesco Clubcard points if you part-pay for an easyJet Holiday with Clubcard points by 13th April.

The Clubcard points are worth £100 if spent in Tesco. HfP readers will probably prefer to use them for 20,000 Virgin Points or, of course, you could use them £200 off another easyJet Holiday.

The small print is here and looks trouble-free.

Importantly, there is no minimum spend for your easyJet Holiday. There is also no minimum duration and no minimum amount of Clubcard points you need to redeem. You are restricted to 1 x 10,000 Clubcard points bonus per person.

I don’t know what the cheapest short break is that can be booked via easyJet Holidays but I’m sure more creative HfP readers could find something.

The only snag is that you will need to have at least 500 Tesco Clubcard points available to redeem for £10 of easyJet Holiday credit to trigger the bonus.

How do you book easyJet Holidays using Clubcard points?

Clubcard deals often force you to book uncompetitive rates in order to use your vouchers, but this is not the case here.

This is how it works (cut and pasted from the Tesco site here):

• Your Clubcard vouchers are exchanged for ‘easyJet Holidays credit’, which is shown automatically in the ‘credit balance’ section of your easyJet Holidays account, called ‘Tesco Clubcard’ credit

• Your easyJet Holidays account email address must match the one you use for your Tesco Clubcard account

• Your easyJet Holidays credit is valid for six months from the date you exchange your Clubcard vouchers. Any unused credit will not be refunded, credited or exchanged, so only exchange the amount you need.

• Within a 12 month period the maximum you can exchange is £300 in Clubcard vouchers (£600 easyJet Holidays credit). The 12 month period starts from the date you exchange your Clubcard vouchers for easyJet Holidays credit.

• You cannot use your easyJet Holidays credit to book standalone easyJet flights

• You must be one of the travel party on the holiday booking. You cannot share, combine or pool your easyJet Holidays account(s), or credit with other family members or friends.

This means, I think, that you can book any offer or promotion that easyJet Holidays is offering. The credit sitting in your easyJet Holidays account will be automatically used against the balance. The only restriction is that you cannot book via any cashback or reward site.

It isn’t clear if you can use Tesco Clubcard vouchers to pay the balance of an existing easyJet Holidays booking. The implication is that you cannot but this may not be the case in practice. In any event, the 10,000 Clubcard points bonus offer is only valid against new bookings.

Remember that, to receive the £100 of Tesco Clubcard points, you need to book your trip by 13th April and redeem at least £5 of Tesco Clubcard points towards the cost.
