Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

More Tesco Clubcard pre-order CD deals inc Coldplay

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

Following on from the Lily Allen offer (now ended), Tesco Direct is offering 150 bonus Clubcard points on a few other pre-order CD’s.

This is what seems to be available:

Coldplay – Ghost Stories (150 bonus points for £10, to May 18th)

Michael Jackson – Xscape (150 bonus points for £9, to May 11th)

Ed Sheeran – X (150 bonus points for £10, to June 23rd, deluxe edition also available at £13)

Sam Smith – In The Lonely House (150 bonus points for £9, to May 25th)

Black Keys – Turn Blue (150 bonus points for £10, to May 12th)

All of these items are covered by the Tesco price promise.  If Tesco is selling the product at less than the above price on the day of release, you will receive a refund for the difference.  This does seem to work OK in my experience.

None of these deals are worth it purely for the Avios or Virgin Flying Club miles (360 Avios, 375 Virgin miles) but it is good value if you were planning to buy it anyway.
