Tesco Clubcard - Avios - any insider knowledge?

Marsie

Hi,

I have just started a (probably ill-fated:rotfl:) mission to collect Avios. I know the advice has been that if you don't need them immediately, sit on Clubcard points until there is a boost to the standard exchange rate.

I believe that there will not be any such offer in the Clubcard 'final boost', and I am a bit worried as to whether Tesco's new and improved scheme is indeed likely to de-value against the rates offered now.

Don't suppose anyone has any info on whether to jump and exchange my pile of saved vouchers, or wait and hope more offers will come in the future ... ?

Thanks,
M.

The 'final boost' only refers to in-store and/or Tesco direct. It does not refer to Boost (ex-Reward) Partners - such as avios.

So, by all means keep an eye on the Tesco Boost Partners website, for any offers of extra mileage.

Please remember though, that once converted to the air miles, that's what you'll use. That is, there's no facility to change them back.

Avios haven't offered more then 600 miles per £2.50 in years, whereas Virgin quite often offer a bonus. I've stopped converting to Avios much prefer Virgin

Avios had a boost in October/ November through British Airways Exec club. That's where all my saved Tesco clubcard points went.

Thanks folks. So - no idea on whether the 600 per £2.50 is likely to actually reduce, so maybe I will just sit on them and hope for another boost later this year.

at the moment, for every £2.50 Tesco points you convert to Avios you'll be entered into a draw to win a million Avios. Think there might be other amounts to win also.
