Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

3 x £15 iTunes gift cards in Tesco for £35, plus 150 Clubcard points

Until Sunday, Tesco is running a special promotion on iTunes gift cards. 

When you purchase 3 x £15 cards, you pay just £34.99.  That represents a decent £10 saving if you are a regular iTunes user.

More interesting, though, is the ability to combine this with Tesco’s offer of 150 bonus Clubcard points for buying £50 of gift cards.  This offer has been running for over a year now, and I have written about it numerous times, eg here.

Because the iTunes gift cards go through at £34.99 for three, you will need to add a £20 giftcard on top – for anyone (except Tesco itself) – to get you over the £50 level.  This is well worth it, however, given that you would earn 360 Avios or 375 Virgin Flying Club miles.

These will make decent Christmas presents for iPhone / iPad owning youngsters, if nothing else.

    Also avoid blinkbox cards; I believe they do not attract the points.

  • John says:

    Or double points if you’re in your first year of Amex Gold.

  • Toby says:

    Is there a limit to how many itunes vouchers you can buy? I’d like 6 vouchers not a crazy amount.

    • Sinizter says:

      6 vouchers shouldn’t cause a problem. If it does, just buy one set and walk around the store and buy another set.

    • Jon Connell says:

      I just bought 6 £15 vouchers for a 20 quid saving at my local store. Blokey at customer services was very helpful, but was not aware of the promotion.

  • Chris says:

    Do we know how long this offer is on for? I’m not back in the UK until next weekend (15th onwards.)

  • What's the Point says:

    Slightly related – I had noticed that the some of the 3V stocks have been replenished at the end of last week. But revisiting the same stores this week, they had all gone!

  • callum says:

    Or, heaven forbid, people just have different spending habits to you.

    I’m personally not interested in wine so 1000 bonus points is irrelevant to me. If I’m going to spend money somewhere Tesco sells giftcards for however, why wouldn’t I get them?

  • olybeast says:

    What about those that don’t buy wine but do spend money on iTunes? God forbid

  • Rob says:

    The 3V cards are mainly used by people who need to hit the sign up spend on a new credit card.

    If you’re in Tesco anyway and you see them, it is not exactly a massive strain to pick them up.
