Tesco glitch – 3,600 Avios or 3,750 Virgin miles for £60 LEGO spend

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

Tesco Direct launched two new LEGO promotions on Monday:

1,000 Clubcard points (2,400 Avios) for a £60 LEGO spend

500 Clubcard points (1,200 Avios) for a £30 LEGO spend

These are both attractive deals if you have any lovers of little plastic bricks in your household.

However, up to midnight on Monday night, Tesco Direct was mistakenly giving BOTH bonuses on a £60 spend. Buying £60 of LEGO got you 1,500 Clubcard points plus your base points – that was 3,600 Avios or 3,750 Virgin miles.

This deal is now over. You will only receive the expected 1,000 points (worth 2,400 Avios) on a £60 order.

Even though the glitch has been fixed, you should still take a close look at this deal if you have kids or are expecting to give any presents to a child soon! LEGO makes a great gift or can easily be resold on eBay. .

The Tesco Direct home page for this offer is here.

‘Click and Collect’ delivery to your local Tesco store will be free as you are spending £30. The deal runs until Sunday 31st July.
