Possible 18,750 Avios for £53 via the Daily Mail

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

The Daily Mail has been emailing selected members of its MyMail website with a generous subscription offer.

You will receive 30,000 Nectar points (worth 18,750 Avios) when you subscribe to ‘The Ultimate Pack’ of the Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday for just two months.

If you are not a fan of the Mail, don’t worry. You do not receive physical newspapers. You receive a book of vouchers in the post which can be redeemed daily at your local newsagent – or binned if you prefer.

The price is £26.80 per month, so £53.60 in total. The Nectar points will arrive within “25 days of renewing the second month subscription“.

This is, clearly, a very good deal at £53.60 for 18,750 Avios. The only reason I am not pushing it harder is that the offer is not openly showing on the MyMail website. You need this link from the email.

On the other hand, the T&Cs in the email do not say that it is only open to the recipient:

“Offer available to new subscribers taking out a subscription between 12.02.21 and 28.02.21. UK residents aged 18+. To collect £150 worth of Nectar points, buy a subscription to The Ultimate Pack, paying for a minimum of two consecutive months, price £26.80 pcm. £150 worth of Nectar points will be credited per person, per one subscription only, within 25 days of renewing the second month subscription. Subscription will auto renew after the expiry of the first calendar month at a cost of £26.80.”

(EDIT: To add to the confusion, it seems that the confirmation page you see is an old one and shows a different set of terms which mention a three month minimum. Caveat emptor.)

If you want to sign-up to see if you receive the points, the link is here.

You should create a MyMail account and link it to your Nectar account before signing up.

For absolutely clarity, do not sign-up for this unless you are prepared to accept some risk that you will not receive the points because you did not receive the original email.

As a no-risk alternative, you may want to register with MyMail, link your account to your Nectar account, and wait to see if you are targetted for a similar offer in the future.

I have just subscribed! Says minimum term is 3 months! But Nectar points posted after 25 days if canceled subs after posting points would they take back points for not completing the 3 months minimum term?

“Your subscription will be billed monthly at a cost of £26.80. After the first three months minimum term, it will automatically renew every month, unless you cancel your subscription.

Nectar Points: £150 worth Nectar Points will be credited into your account within 25 days of renewing the second month subscription”

“Your subscription will be billed monthly at a cost of £26.80. After the first three months minimum term”

Surely this means that you a tied in to a minimum of three months, making it cost £80.40? Or have a misinterpreted that?

  Be very careful – the small print can usually exclude certain type of policies, as some readers found out after trying to get the Tesco bonus.

Yes crap paper but double your money!

The video implies you get double nectar from the daily MyMail number too

Where is the link to the specific T&Cs for this? I can see a long page with lots of different promotion T&C’s but nothing related to this offer.

  I’m guessing the irony of you posting a link to the “ liar” for people to click on and read is lost on you.

  The personal finance section is pretty good.
  
  It’s a good idea to read the papers and articles you don’t like, otherwise you end up in a political or social echo chamber.
  - David says:

    I agree that it is good to keep an overview of the entire media landscape, not for reasons of echo chamber, but for reasons of knowing what other people are being told.
    But this is a level above echo chamber concerns, this is not simply lines of argument that people don’t like or disagree with, it is about deliberately misleading the public, deliberately being sensationalist – with the intention to create anger and division.
    And when it comes to that, some of us simply will stand up for what we believe in – otherwise one becomes complicit.
    On this basis (staying abreast of the nonsense they are putting out) – while I do find means to access Daily Mail (and other ‘news’paper) stories and content, I make sure I do it in a manner that does not contribute to their bottom line (including delivering them numbers that contribute to it).
    Incidentally, I don’ think the Mail is, in day to day terms, the worst of poisoning minds with nonsense (Express is far more constant nonsense), and yes they do also have some good content (financial has been good at times), but when they do post line crossing stuff, it is some of the worst. So this is not virtue signalling, this is some of us saying we simply don’t support this. It crosses a fundamental line – for promotion of hatred and division.

      By ‘nonsense they are putting out’ I assume you mean views different from yours.

        mark2 – did you actually read my post?
        
        If you did then, ‘views different from yours’, then evidently you think creating hatred and division is acceptable? You think homophobic undertones are acceptable?
        
        There are lots of things that I don’t personally agree with in the Guardian, and in The Times, and in the Economist, and in the FT, etc but we are not talking about simply policy views, or approaches that people disagree with.

        @mark2 – The idea that newspapers have become view/comment machines rather than truth reporters isn’t to be taken lightly. A test I like to apply, is when a topic arises on one of the few subject where I would consider myself a world expert – normally specific to my business, read the appropriate articles from all papers. Under this test the Daily Mail almost always comes at the bottom of the pile – the story always comes at the expense of the truth. Don’t worry, the Guardian isn’t that great either. But FT, and, normally, the BBC are incredibly accurate. If you find comfort reading papers to reaffirm false views, then go ahead, but for truth, stay clear of the Daily Mail. The Mail on Sunday isn’t too bad though!

I am reliably informed that Saturday’s Daily Mail has the best weekly TV supplement for Freeview – and used to be known for the best travel offers.

I signed up. I did note in the confirmation page, “Your subscription will be billed monthly at a cost of £26.80. After the first three months minimum term, it will automatically renew every month, unless you cancel your subscription.”

The minimum 3-months term is not mentioned in the article.
- Rob says:

  That is not part of the rules, as per the T&C extract I posted.
