Dan Brown back at Tesco with 500 bonus Clubcard points – just 0.75p per Avios

Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.

Back in February, Tesco Direct was offering you the chance to pre-order the new Dan Brown book for just £9. You got 500 bonus Tesco Clubcard points with each copy, so 1200 Avios or 1250 Flying Club miles!

Tesco quickly sold out of their pre-order allocation. Too quickly, as it turned out, because a lot of people had their orders cancelled.

More stock seems to have appeared, though, because the offer is back.

You can get 500 Clubcard points for pre-ordering the new Dan Brown book, Inferno (see here) and using code TD-MNRW at the check-out. You should actually order 2 copies, as book orders over £15 qualify for free postage!

Do NOT order more than 2 copies, though, as it is highly likely that Tesco will cancel your order.

The maths works out VERY nicely on this one, at 0.75p per Avios – and that is without any conversion bonus.

I suspect the next Avios bonus will be in July (end-of-month), they’ve tied up the Virgin bonus, so July/August appears the most likely. As the vouchers will be issued in the first week of May, they have already done their opt-in bonus, so July/August seems like a good bet.

I also notice that the US Amex has done their Avios conversion bonus, so the UK Amex conversion offer shouldn’t be too far behind, I suspect again, July/August for that one too. Seems like an apt period as most people will have used their Avios on summer deals.

  is it normally a 50% bonus? ie 600 becomes 900 for each £2.50.

  Hello all,
  
  Just to update you, the HP Ink promo I mentioned earlier now seems to include the whole usual HP ink range, rather than just two. Cheapest option (as last month), is approx. £8.50, need to purchase two for 500 points. For the eBay specialist within you, you can use a Tesco voucher for £10 off a £100 spend or more – should you decide to purchase 10+!
  
  I have also noticed that you can get 3000 points extra for a Samsung BD-E8300 SmartHub/DVD player c.£255 – didn’t see that before. But there is a promo to further reduce the cost by £20 for any purchase over £200 too. Reasonable deal, but not the best points to £££’s ratio.

Ordered using above code, got bonus points, got confirmation email (eventually), so all looking good.

On the other book pre-order note. I have not had them delivered yet but I have just had an email from Tesco with a £1.00 refund for each of the John Whaite Bakes books so only £9 in the end.

This pre-order price promise thing is really quite good and Avios just seem to get cheaper and cheaper!

My Dan Brown 2 books from yesterday seems to still be OK too.
