Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

It’s back – earn 3,000 Avios for a £60 Tesco grocery spend (1,200 Avios for existing customers)

Tesco has launched another promotional code for Tesco grocery shopping, this time via a tie-up with vouchercodes.co.uk. It isn’t quite as impressive as the last Tesco code but it is still worth having:

1,250 bonus Clubcard points on a £60 grocery spend

Code is XXFHML

Code expires on Monday 23rd March – you need to receive the delivery, or do ‘click and collect’, by this date

This code is aimed at customers whose accounts have not had a Tesco Grocery order before.

It will also work OK if you have not done a Tesco Grocery order for some time, potentially a year or so. I got it to work successfully on my account as the screenshot below shows.

Meanwhile, moneysavingexpert.com has a new code for EXISTING customers:

500 bonus Clubcard points on a £60 grocery spend

Code is XXMGGG

Code expires on Wednesday 25th March – you need to receive the delivery, or do ‘click and collect’, by this date

The quickest way to see if the ‘new customer’ code works on an existing account is to go to the Tesco grocery site and do a dummy order for £60 (search for ‘veuve’ and put two bottles in your basket).

Click checkout, select a random delivery slot, go to the payment page (do not put in a credit card number) and enter the code. The box is halfway down the payment page.

If it has worked, you will see this on your screen:

Tesco3

The voucher is then stored on your account. You do NOT need to complete the dummy order – the code will still be there if you do another grocery order later on.

If the code does not work on your account, you may want to consider opening a new Tesco Clubcard account just for this transaction.  I would only do this if the account is in a different name to your other account – hopefully someone who shares a BA household account with you so that you can transfer the points to Avios and access them yourself.  Another option would be to use a work address or another family member.

Alternatively, use the moneysavingexpert.com code for 500 points.  It is not recommended to have multiple accounts in your own name at the same address.

If you don’t want to order your groceries from Tesco, consider spending £60 on some wine, nappies, dishwasher tablets or other expensive branded items which you buy anyway. It is a very easy 3,000 Avios or 3,125 Virgin Flying Club miles if you only buy items you need anyway.

    Used it last night, was successful, and I have an online shop every week 🙂

  • Jerry says:

    If that code doesn’t work for your account code XXMGGG may give 500 clubcard points on a £60 spend online for all customers until Wednesday 25th March (thanks to hotukdeals mega thread on tesco clubcard – not as good but ok if you shop online anyway 1200 avios. I haven’t tried it.

    Raffles, I really wish you’d stop encouraging people to set up “new” Tesco accounts to take advantage of these offers. There’s plenty of stories online about discounts not being honoured and when queried, Tesco have called out the individuals involved and refused to honour. They identify accounts by matching names/addresses, telephone numbers and even payment details.
    You should at least add a warning when discussing this sort of thing.

    • Rob says:

      Fair point, will edit

      • grex9101 says:

        Thanks for that.

        I think it is fair to say that if the code works on your existing account, it generally will be honoured.

        Full disclosure: I had around 20 (!) Tesco accounts at one point. While I didn’t ever have any discounts rejected, the majority of my accounts were “merged” without my say-so. I only discovered this when I noticed that my contact details had “synced” across the multiple accounts. When I queried by phone, I was haughtily told that they had identified my alternate accounts.

        Long story short, I only have an account for each family member now. All have different emails/payment methods/contact numbers. I still get quite a few discounts to work as they don’t get much activity. Lesson learned !

    • Waribai says:

      Yes, that happened to me! No hard feelings though. Win some, lose some and I appreciate the effort you put into finding good deals!

  • Rob says:

    Anon – your comment went into spam and I just saw it as I clicked delete, but it was too late! Sorry! I found it and edited it back in.

  • John Gallagher says:

    doesn’t work on mine or my wife’s account yet neither of us have done an order for well over a year 🙁

  • DeeBuzzby says:

    Thanks Jerry, just used the Hotukdeals code ( XXMGGG) when ordering £60 online Tesco shop just now. Says 500 bonus points added. A good start to the day! I used the “3500 points on first online shop” last month so didn’t want to risk it again! Wasn’t planning to shop today but hey! Always worth topping up the wine racks.

    • Liz says:

      I’ve never seen one that offered 3500 points before – do they offer that on a regular basis?

    • Kai says:

      You mean 3750 avios I suppose?

      • Liz says:

        Ah! It will be 3500 avios – duh! I got excited there about 3500 clubcard points!

  • Tariq says:

    Why do these offers always pop up a couple of days after I’ve already done an order!! :-/

    • Graeme says:

      Tariq, you can go in and change your order up until the night before – my order for Saturday morning is complete, but I can do anything to it up until 23:46 on Friday – so I’ve just added the 500 point code.

      Thanks all.

  • Keith says:

    Got this 100 point code GRNRTN to work with XXFHML code.

    • Colin JE says:

      That 100 point code didn’t work for me., but the main 1250 points code worked great. Thanks Rob.
