Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

Got a ‘conditional spend’ coupon in your Tesco mailing?

The October Tesco Clubcard mailings are hitting doorsteps this week.  Hopefully you will have earned enough points (650) to receive the Quarter 4 ‘2,000 bonus Avios’ via the ‘Get More’ promotion.

Quite a few people are reporting that they are receiving ‘conditional spend’ coupons with their mailings.

I got some very decent ones.  £7 off a £50 spend valid this week, and 3 lots of ‘£5 off £50 spend’ valid for different weeks in the run-up to Christmas.

Now, if you get one of these but don’t actually shop at Tesco, remember that you can use them as part of the ‘150 Clubcard points for buying £50 of gift cards’ promotion.  Click here for my article on this.

I went into my local Tesco Metro on Wednesday and picked up 3 x £20 Pizza Express gift cards.  I paid just £53 after using my £7 coupon, and bagged 360 bonus Avios points as well!  Not a bad afternoons work.

    I did my first online tesco shopping today following an email i received from Tesco which offered 1500 clubcard points if i placed my first online order min spend £50. The code was GRTRET. So a shopping of £57 less £6 conditional spend voucher = £51& i got 1560 clubcard points. Not bad.
