Please also be aware that if you have an old style Tesco Credit Card (issued pre-2006) you will actually collect more airmiles by using this card than the new TSB Amex Airmiles Card.
With the old style Tesco Credit Card they give you 1 clubcard point for every £2 you spend out of Tesco rather than the 1 clubcard point for the £4 they give you now. So for every £1,000 you spend you earn 500 clubcard points which equates to £5 in clubcard vouchers, which equals 120 airmiles (or 160 if you are on the accelerated rate of 80 miles per £2.50 voucher like me). For £1,000 spent on the Lloyds TSB Airmiles Amex Card you would receive 100 airmiles.
How do you get on the accelerate rate?Wins so far this year: Mum to be bath set, follow me Domino Dog, Vital baby feeding set, Spiderman goody bag, free pack of Kiplings cakes, £15 love to shop voucher, HTC Desire, Olive oil cooking spray, Original Source Strawberry Shower Gel, Garnier skin care hamper, Marc Jacobs fragrance.0 -
A few years ago Tesco customers would get 40 airmiles per £2.50 voucher exchanged but customers who spent more than £60 in Tesco a week (this amount was averaged out over a 3 month period) would get 80 miles per £2.50 exchanged. Tesco then decided that this was too complicated so scrapped this and decided to give all old customers earning 40 miles and all new Tesco customers 60 airmiles. However, the people who used to get 80 miiles at that time have stayed on this rate - whoo hoo!0

They should bring that back as a special offer.0

Hi everyone - just came back to say we have looked at booking an airmiles holiday to Guernsey! Flights from Bristol! Hooray! Only looking at the moment, as we are not free till about end Aug, beg Sept. It looks easy so maybe we can use the airmiles up, at last! I might have some left over, but that's ok.0

Or, if you used to collect airmiles with Sainsbury's when they did it, they offered you that accelerated rate of 80 miles to swap to Tesco and again left us on it! :j0 -

Although this method of collecting Airmiles has been touched upon several times in this thread, there doesn't appear to have been a post from anyone who has actually done it.
Buying Paper Airmiles seem to be straightforward, but Electronic Airmiles (i.e. already in someone else's account) appears to be anything but.
The process would appear to be:
a) Change the address of the current account holder to your own address
b) After a respectable period of time has elapsed (30 days has been suggested) join his account with yours as a "Household Account".
c) Get the previous owner of the account to sign the downloaded form agreeing to be removed from the newly created Household Account but leaving all their Airmiles entitlement behind in the Household Account.
A complicated process which relies upon continuing co-operation from the original owner.
Has anyone actually done it? How did it go? And more especially; was it worth it ????????0 -
I've always wondered which is the best option to convert Clubcard vouchers to....Airmiles or BA miles?0
