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.

Should read the forums in digital spy political section. So left wing it’s hard to read.
Any decent centre political thinking papers?

  I find the Economist centre/right and read the Guardian to balance it out.

    a fine pairing if I might say so — very little garbage in either

      Leave it out, the guardian is unreadable

        Because it doesn’t support your political views its garbage?
        
        Funny that, its a thing called balance

I always feel sullied when I buy the Mail for my ninety year old Brexit loving Irish mother. However it will be a good Mother Day present for her. Hopefully she will be able to use her vouchers in Eire if the Mail manages to kick out 1950s immigrant Irish along with Caribbeans.

I actually enjoy the finance pages and the travel supplements. Wash my hands afterwards though!

I’ve seen the vouchers on ebay before go for face value so could easily get the Airmiles for next to nothing

Well, amongst other things I travelled 50 miles round trip to hire an extra car for a weekend via Avis, booked ten domestic Iberia flights that I had no intention of boarding, bought many an ink cartridge, Lego set and NOWtv box – all in the name of miles. This offer has definitely required the most soul searching. But I went for it.
- Delbert says:
  
  13 Feb13 February 16:45
  
  I look back fondly on the Iberia Avios offer, as I’m sure many others here do, and received the full 180k Avios for booking twenty flights between my wife’s account and my own. Subsequently cancelled both our Iberia accounts once the points were moved to BAEC and obviously never heard another word about the notional negative Iberia Avios balances as I didn’t hang around long enough to evidence the event.
  
  Once the points arrived in the household BAEC I purchased two return business class flights on JAL, Bangkok – Narita, for 150k Avios. Outstanding service on JAL and we also had a great time in Tokyo.
- Kevin D says:

  Haha! I think Rob should do an article on the most weird things people have done just to get more Avios!!
  - Delbert says:
    
    13 Feb13 February 19:56
    
    I’d be hard-pressed to think of a more rewarding offer available in one fell swoop, Kevin D.

I hate the mail and what it stands for. But I have to say I signed up for it ….what we do for some points 😛

Once you have created your MyMail a/c, you may find that you are offered “This month, we’re giving every MyMail member a complimentary 10,000 Nectar points when you get a free equity release quote from Mail Finance!”
- Dr C says:
  
  13 Feb13 February 16:17
  
  where is this for you?
  - RussellH says:
    
    13 Feb13 February 16:54
    
    The Offers and Rewards link towards the top and towards the left.
  - Rob says:
    
    13 Feb13 February 17:22
    
    That’s on the MyMail website for everyone – no need to even log in to see it.
    - Tom says:
      
      13 Feb13 February 18:45
      
      Says it requires at least one unique code before you can take advantage?
      - Josh says:
        
        13 Feb13 February 18:54
        
        I saw this too. Anyone figured out what to do from here to get the code? I wouldve assumed paying for this subscription would bypass this!
      - RussellH says:
        
        13 Feb13 February 20:06
        
        Go to your nearest supermarket, pick up a copy of the DM, turn it over, and copy the code – 12 digits – from the bottom of the back page.
        Return copy of the DM to the bottom of the pile.
        🙂
      - TGLoyalty says:
        
        13 Feb13 February 20:13
        
        Either subscribe or buy a copy or just take a pic of the unique code printed on the paper.
Dr C says:

“After the first three months minimum term, it will automatically renew every month, unless you cancel your subscription.”

So is it not £80.4 or are people just going to cancel the payments after the 2nd month?
- Delbert says:
  
  13 Feb13 February 16:47
  
  I’ll be cancelling straight after the second instalment is settled.
  - Delbert says:
    
    13 Feb13 February 17:01
    
    … due to the T&Cs of the Nectar points posting 25 days after the second instalment is settled.
  - TGLoyalty says:
    
    13 Feb13 February 17:13
    
    Agree. Set your cal reminders

Such is my focus to accumulate points that I’d accept 18k Avios from Pol Pot if it came to it.
- Mike says:
  
  13 Feb13 February 17:32
  
  and I’d smoke pot if it came to it !
  - The cyclist says:
    
    13 Feb13 February 19:21
    
    I guess a lot of the contributors on here are smoking something, given some of the opinions proffered.
    - Delbert says:
      
      13 Feb13 February 19:53
      
      The point is, doesn’t matter who’s offering up Avios for bargain basement prices, most of us miss that part, we merely see free money. Let’s not complicate matters with trivialities.
      - Delbert says:
        
        13 Feb13 February 20:07
        
        … which is the point of this site. Strange bunch of contributors today!
      - TGLoyalty says:
        
        13 Feb13 February 20:13
        
        I’ll happy part daily Mail with £100 of cash.
      - Delbert says:

        That’s the spirt TGLoyalty.
