Good Tesco promo returns – 100 Clubcard points (240 Avios) with £20 gift card purchase

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

If you’re in your local Tesco this week, make sure you pick up a copy of the December ‘Tesco Food Family Living’ magazine.

Inside, you will find a full page advertisement for gift cards and a coupon. It is on page 103.

It gets you 100 bonus Clubcard points (240 Avios) with the purchase of a single gift card of £20 or above.

This will, with 100% certainty, stack with the ongoing offer of 150 bonus Clubcard points when you spend £50 or more on gift cards, excluding Tesco-branded gift cards.

If you pick up two magazine and purchase 2 x £25 gift cards, for example, you would earn:

150 bonus Clubcard points for spending £50

2 x 100 bonus Clubcard points for spending two lots of £20

That would give you a total of 350 Clubcard points (840 Avios or 875 Virgin Flying Club miles). Assuming that you would otherwise have spent £50 in cash at whichever retailer you go for, these are arguably virtually free miles.

If you don’t want to use the points for airline miles, this page on our sister site Shopper Points shows the best value Tesco Clubcard Boost redemptions.

This is a very decent offer and I would pick up a few copies of the magazine if you can. The vouchers are valid until 31st December 2015.

Can the gospendits be paid into NS&I or any other accounts? Ive got some conditional spend vouchers which would cover the fees.

  Beats buying those other cards AFAIAC even if no ‘finance’ destinations allowed. (I don’t know the answer on that.) You’d still be able to use them quickly.
  
  I wonder why Tesco don’t stock Amazon cards?

    Probably the same reason they don’t sell John Lewis / Waitrose or M&S cards!

      Oh yeah, hadn’t thought of that, bit thick of me TBH. I guess Morrisons doesn’t really have much non-food.

    these are not 3Vs, are you sure of your facts?

Seems like if you already subscribe to Apple Music then you can load up your account with ITunes Gift cards with the 20% discount on offer until Sunday AND get the bonus points meaning you can get a 20% discount on your subscription and all the bonus points on offer (incl the voucher points). Would that be right?

  Yep!
harry says:

2000 = 4800 Avios, not bad as a discount
- harry says:

  And it’s a competitive price. I suspect this is a mistake.
  
  You can easily get close to getting your money back on ebay.

£96 cost
get £90
less fees = £77
less post = £70
net £26 for 4800 Avios = 0.54p

Well that worked out beautifully. Was about to buy a £100 present at Argos – switched instead to buying 4 * £25 gift vouchers. 400 points via the coupons, 300 more from spending 2 lots of £50.

700 clubcard points = 1680 Avios = 17% discount off the £100 spend. Thanks HfP !

Thanks, will slot it in for Sunday

I’ve got 4 of these coupons. The coupons are all same – ie same barcode and number below the bar code.

The coupon says “Coupon can only be redeemed once”

If I buy 2 x £25 gift vouchers in one transaction, and the cashier scans 2 vouchers, won’t the system reject the second scan because it has detected that I am trying to redeem a coupon more than once?
- Rob says:
  
  21 Nov21 November 15:02
  
  No, not in previous years
Kevin says:

Just come back from Tesco. It worked, but not exactly how I expected.

I got 150 + 2 x 100 (350) on the purchase of 2 x £25 gift cards, but the value of the gift cards (£50) was deducted from my qualifying spend. Which means that the “bonus” points were not 350, but rather 300 points.

Still good though, especially as I’m getting 2.5 Avios per £1 on my new Lloyds Amex.

  You never get base clubcard points for gift cards, regardless of offers, promos or coupons. Gift cards (tesco and other branded) have always been excluded from qualifying spend.
- Rob says:
  
  21 Nov21 November 23:13
  
  That is bizarre ….
- Tilly71 says:

  This is the first time I have heard of this happening, as long as you spend £50 on branded gift cards you always get 150 cc points, add your two coupons makes 350 points. You never got base points for gift card spends so very strange your total points amount.
- TimS says:
  
  22 Nov22 November 20:54
  
  Kevin, are you saying you got 350 points but that you expected 400 (ie 50 base, 150 bonus for £50 of cards, plus 2x 100 for coupons?) ie you only got 300 points more than you expected for £50 of Tesco spend
  
  Or are you saying that the receipt only showed 300 points in total?
  
  If the former, I’m afraid you have never got base spend points for gift cards so 350 points is the correct total.
  
  If the latter, that is the first time I have ever heard of that happening and is a significant IT error by Tesco that could affect anyone who buys gift cards in the future.
