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.

    Code worked for me which was a surprise as I had a delivery only about a month ago! Thanks for the heads-up!

  • Roisin says:

    Just to let other readers know, this worked on my existing account, I haven’t done an online shop with them for over 6 months! And as an extra bonus, I got another 175 points for using some e coupons that came up when i signed intomy account! Cheers

  • Justin Fraser says:

    Got the full 1250 points with the code above and we ‘click and collect’ every week. Cheers for the heads up 🙂

  • Guy says:

    Just ordered online for the first time (Except for the last wine promotion) and claimed the 1250 points. Perfect!

    Could I order another delivery by the 25th and get the 500 that you mentioned??

    Or am I being greedy?

  • Mick says:

    Slightly of point …. When and if Tesco run their bonus transfer for Avios, how are you notified? Is it with your vouchers in the post, email, BAEC or Avios direct ?
    Thanks

    • Rob says:

      Head for Points is the best way! You may also be emailed by BA. Tesco doesn’t normally make much of an effort to tell you as it costs them money when you redeem!

  • Peter Taysum says:

    The 500 points worked for me, but I put the order on hold. Just tried to complete the order, and the code disappeared.

    Went to discuss online. They are very sorry, and they have had a lot of queries about this tonight. For first 10 000 customers. Apparently.

    I advised I was cancelling the order. They again are very sorry.

    Win some, lose some.

  • Colin Price says:

    1250 code just worked for me and I shop online quite regularly. Thanks again for producing a great site!

  • Pam says:

    Now saying both have been used max number of times, neither code will go through 🙁 ah well should’ve been quicker!
