Tesco and Avios
Tesco, the major UK supermarket chain, allows you to convert Tesco Clubcard (CC) points to Avios. The standard earning rate is 1 CC point per £1 spent in store. They convert to Avios in the ratio of 1 CC point to 2.4 Avios or 2.5 Virgin miles. Every quarter, your points are converted to coupons and mailed to you - they can then be converted via the CC website to Avios or Virgin miles. Typically, it takes 1-2 working days for a conversion to BA Avios to complete.
The key to rapidly earning large amounts of Avios is the regular bonus point offers where large amounts of points can be earned. The latest are listed below and discussed within this thread.
The last period for collecting Clubcard points finished on 16 October 2014.
The last day for collecting points in the current quarter is 21 January 2015.

As of the middle of May, most cashback can also be transferred directly to your Avios account 1p=1 Avios. http://www.topcashback.co.uk/

Wow, I've just counted up six months worth of vouchers and I have £31. I think I'm missing something or maybe a million things.
I still have until August until the earliest expiry date, should I wait in hopes of getting better than 2.4? I see posts referring to bonuses, but they are mostly older.
TIA

its not hard to get higher clubcard points balances.
helps if you do all your grocery / fuel shopping at Tesco and then keep an eye on this thread for bonus points offers on various things.
i've never been bothered with the 3V cards. too much work from the sounds of it.

If you go to page 120 of the latest Tesco magazine (White Xmas cake on the front), there's a coupon for an extra 100 points when you spend £20 or more on a single gift card. Not sure if you could use 2 of them when buying 2 x £25 of 3Vs for example to get 350 points = 840 Avios a time.

Don't think so.
Believe these coupons have to be the original ones from the paper mag and for in store use only. Does say copied coupons will not be accepted, but who knows?
The others in the mag seem to be online usage as well as in store.

I obtained from someone a scan of the infamous turkey vouchers for 3V use last year and I successfully used them at Tesco. Access to a good colour printer is useful for printing multiple useable copies.

I was in a Northern Ireland store yesterday and there were hundreds of these magazines. I was tempted to pick one up in case there were vouchers but instead picked up a technology one.... 
I've been to one store today and they didn't have any.
I can also confirm that colour photocopies seemed to work most of the time last year....
