If you have a big stash, to convert then waiting for the other offer looks better as this only applies to the tesco points earnt in the current quarter, i think.
Part T&C
This offer allows you to collect a bonus of 400 Avios for every £2.50 Tesco Clubcard vouchers exchanged, if you select to automatically opt in for the BA Executive Club Avios scheme. This means any Tesco Clubcard points you collect during the statement period are automatically converted into Avios and added to your Executive Club account, throughout the promotional period.
The promotional period is: 16 November 2011 to 20 January 2012. To opt in to the BA Executive Club Avios scheme, simply go tesco.com and select the option to automatically opt into the BA Executive Club Avios scheme.

Ok I'm confused as to whether I can get a few extra 2,000 avios a quarter or not.
I have both a BAEc and an Avios.com account. BAEC account been actively used and have transferred over from tesco in the past.
Avios.com has 7K odd in it, they came over from airmiles. I am unsure if I have collected any airmiles in the last 12 months, avios.com doesn't give you any historic airmiles statements. i have never transferred from any of the 4 possible partners into airmiles.
Am I eligible ?

From MSE today:
4 mths DVD rental AND 1,000 Tesco pts for £13
The deal. New customers who trial Tesco DVD rental for four months (total cost £13), can get an extra 1,000 Clubcard points, worth up to £40.
You cannot have already had a Tesco, Lovefilm or Lovefilm-powered subscription (eg, Odeon Direct or Sofa Cinema).
How to get it. Enter code TESDEC when you sign up* for a 30-day free Tesco DVD rental trial before 31 Jan.
Continue beyond the free trial, and you'll get 1,000 Clubcard points after your third monthly payment.
The free 30 day trial is valid on any Tesco subscription package but if you're doing this primarily for the points, the cheapest option is the £4.47/month two discs per month package (£13.41 for three months). For this you get two DVDs per month, but you can only have one at home at a time.
How good is this? If you would spend on items available in the Tesco Rewards brochure anyway (days out, meals etc), this is a cracking deal. As the points are worth up to £40 in Rewards and as the rental costs £13 you could end up effectively £27 in profit.
Only in it for the points? Remember to cancel. The minimum number of payments to get the extra points is three, so if you don't want to continue ensure you cancel after that.

Also this offer for first time Clubcard/avios changers like me.
Start collecting Avios with Tesco
If you haven’t exchanged your Tesco Clubcard vouchers into Avios in the last 12 months you may be eligible to collect a quarterly bonus of 2,000 Avios.
From 1 December 2011, collect at least the minimum amount of 1,500 Avios with Tesco every quarter and you can qualify for 2,000 bonus Avios. That means you can collect an extra 8,000 Avios across the year.

Looks like the 1000 CC points will credit far too late to hit the February bonus (1:4) conversion rate to Avios. Therefore for those of us on the standard rate (1:2.4) this offer equates to 2400 Avios for £13.41, = 0.56p per Avios.
Not bad - I might sign up.
Thanks Raffles.

New Credit Card Promotion
Hello,
Just wondering if there is any speculation as to what the next Tesco Clubcard Credit Card offer will be, as the currently uninspiring offer of "Win back the cost of christmas" is ending tomorrow.
10,000 free clubcard points maybe?

I must admit the vagueness of the CC scheme at times drives me nuts. I recycled 3 separate phones recently. 2 lots of points appeared immediately but not the 3rd. I contacted Tesco Mobile recycle and they say the points may take up to THREE MONTHS to credit!

Call the recycler again and ask them to re-check that they indeed processed the points to Clubcard.
I had a similar situation - 4 phones: clubcard points in account within a week. 5th phone (which they 1st said was damaged and offered lower amount of points - but then I asked them to re-test phone, and it was just fine and got all points) clubcard points did not appear after 2 weeks, although I got the confirming email from the recycler it had been "paid".
When I asked the recycler to re-check, after being on hold a few minutes, they confirmed they had not processed the order to Tesco - a day later the points were in my Clubcard account.

Can you tell me where there is a link for this specific promotion as I have never converted to Avios or BA for that matter.
I have only just started to look at using the the points for flights as most of it previously was used on Goldsmiths.
Any help greatly appreciated

Hi I am a newbie to all of this but I have been saving up my clubcard points in anticipation of the Avios promotion.

However, not to worry. You are still OK for the big February transfer bonus, which will earn you 1,000 Avios for every £2.50 of vouchers instead of the usual 600.

Assuming that this is the Air Miles / Avios promotion, then it is only open to people who a) did not transfer to Tesco in 2011 AND b) DID earn Air Miles some other way in 2011. So if you have just joined Air Miles / Avios then you won't qualify.

Tesco Broadband and 5000 Clubcard points
I couldn't see this posted but 5000 CC points for taking out a Tesco Broadband contract (12-18 months)
Looks like a reasonable deal although YMMV. Offer ends 31st March.
