Spending Tesco points. Airmiles, BA miles, or something else?

Voyager2002

Some of my Tesco Clubcard vouchers will expire at the end of this month, so I need to do something with them. I am considering exchanging them for Airmiles, or using them to buy additional BA miles for my Executive Club account. Could anyone comment which of these schemes offers better value for money?

(I have never used Airmiles but am familiar with Executive Club. The vouchers that expire now are worth all of seven pounds, so I would need some way to top up my account with money.)

Any other ideas for ways to use them? I am unlikely to want to use them immediately, so prefer some way to store them for a reasonable length of time.

I assume you have uncoverted deals??>

If so - convert them into anything(not airmiles)......... Then send them back to deals (tesco freetime) saying you no longer want to use x deal. They will then put them back on your account..... and they will be issued again in Feb with a further 2 yr expiry

BTW - airmiles are generally considered a poor rate of return for deals... Cosmos & Virgin would give you more

This is of course depandant on your travel preferences

The short time Pizza Express deal looks good to me.

Thank you.

Leigh-Anne, I have the vouchers that I could spend at Tesco or exchange for Deals. So I could turn them into Virgin and then turn them back again, right?

Any more opinions?

You won't necessarily need to convert them into anything, you can phone up Tesco Clubcard and ask if your vouchers which are about to expire could be extended & they can transfer their value onto the next clubcard voucher mailing without you having to send them back ( the actual vouchers you have will then be voided on their system). I don't know if you are automatically entitled to this though - probably depends on the goodwill of the staff).

Yes, you can do this after they have expired too, no problem at all.
