Buying Clubcard Points?

I have been lurking around for a while and have made use of many of the tips you have all posted but I need more!!!

I am trying to pay for a holiday using my BA Exec Club miles but my shop isn't big enough so I was wondering if you could buy them or what was the cheapest way.

Any help greatly appreciated as always.

    Don't think so, but you can buy Exec Club miles through the BA website.

    Have you done the burgers/fishfingers thing on the Tesco Clubcard - Extra Points Goods thread?

    I'm trying to do the same thing and boost my points for a holiday at Christmas.

    There are some good tips on the BA Exec Club section on the Flyer Talk Forums.

    Also you can boost points by paying for shopping with a Tesco credit card....... Some 0% deals at the mo too.

    try eBay...........
  • Thanks for the suggestions. eBay at the moment seems to consist of people selling the info that is already available on this forum.

    I looked at the purchae option on BA.com and that is scary :eek: . It works out many times more expensive than the burger deal.

    Anyone else got any ideas? I was thinking if there was any option to find where you can buy the empty inkjet cartridges as 50 points a go is good going.

    Yeah I wondered about the ink cartridges too but they seem to be selling for very expensive prices on ebay at the moment. Have managed to send off four though. Also if you have any really old mobiles you can get extra points for recycling them.

    Have you got a clubcard plus card? (it gives you double points on all your shopping) there is a thread in here somewhere
  • If you're going to tesco to only buy a few items, dont use your existing clubcard, pick up a leaftlet with a brand new card and swipe that instead. As long as you spend over £1, a coupon prints up saying "welcome to clubcard" and a bonus 100 point coupon on your next shop for free! You can then use this on your next shop with your usual clubcard. You can throw the one youve just picked up, unless you want to phone clubcard and tell them that you have a temporary card with a few points on. they will then put those on your account too!
    I was telling my mother in law the benefits of clubcard and she decided to join and picked up a new card, did her shop and the coupon printed up. The next time I was there, I only bought a sandwich and a coke but used a new card. the coupon printed up! I then used it when I did my normal shop!

    Regarding ebay ... there are lots of people selling their vouchers .. not just the info ... ive bought some in the past ... most batches tend to sell for between two to three times face value ... cos your getting four times value when converted.... but it still might be worth considering buying the extra points goods .. it works out to be a better deal.

    Was this recently because I've just used my Dads new card for the first time and he didnt get a welcome 100 points. I just bought three lots of burgers so his points total will be over 150 points and he will get a mailing in August, hopefully.

    I want to get in the habit of using his card each time a shop just to buy something over £1 to see if he gets any bonus coupons at the tills.
