9,600 Avios with Tesco Home Insurance – plus summary of other Tesco offers

These days we are able to do pretty much everything online and usually we’d say taking out home insurance is one of those things that can be done with a few clicks.  

However Tesco Bank seems to be missing its telephone customers and has got a generous offer on their home insurance which can not be claimed or even found online.

(The real reason for doing this is to avoid having to pay commission to cashback or comparison sites.)

Until 29th April Tesco Bank is giving 4000 Clubcard points to everyone who takes out home insurance (contents and building) via telephone (0345 366 8632) when quoting the code H4000GR.  That would convert into 9600 Avios points or 10000 Virgin Flying Club miles.

This is a very generous deal if you live in a low risk area and don’t pay much for your insurance.  However, because of the need to take out contents and buildings insurance, it is no use if you live in a flat where your buildings insurance is arranged centrally.  There is no offer for just taking out contents insurance.

You also need to have your existing coverage ending in the next 2-3 months.  There is no point paying for two lots of overlapping insurance as it will soon eat away the value of the points.

If you want to get a rough quote from Tesco before calling, you can do so on their website – but you must call to buy if you want the 4000 points.  The Tesco website will accept the promotional code but are breaking the rules of the deal by buying online so I wouldn’t risk it.

Other Tesco deals currently available

Here is a summary of other Tesco deals which have been covered on Shopper Points in the last couple of weeks.  All are still valid.

None are generous enough to be worth buying the product purely for the points, but if you are in the market for that particular item then it is worth a look.

In particular, the new Harry Potter book is unlikely to be a better deal elsewhere.  Tesco has reduced the price from £20 to £10 and is throwing in 240 Avios on top.

Remember that 100 Clubcard points = 240 Avios or 250 Virgin Flying Club miles.
