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.
Topcashback (TCB)
A cashback generating site, that provides cashback if you go to a wide range of online retailers via their links. Uniquely amongst such sites, TCB allows up to 50 of cashback per year to be withdrawn to your Tesco Clubcard account, which could then be transferred to 12,000 Avios. 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/

This Tesco deal is a non starter. Hopefully they roll out a load of incentives in a few months when they realise people aren't that daft.

They've gone all out with the branding and promotion in store though: spinning hanging boards and lenticular printed pictures of the debit card and Clubcard.

They're gunning squarely for those who don't do the whole "points thing". Someone who has a basic current account, and who will see 1CC point per 8 as something for nothing, as they get nothing right now.

I was underwhelmed by the info Leeski gave us last week but, somehow, Tesco has managed to put forward an offering that is even more pitiful.
I can't see too many people switching. If they're not tempted by 100 vouchers available elsewhere, why would they go for this?

Thanks for highlighting the offers mandc2000. I was going in to Tesco tomorrow after work anyway, but I will have a look for pre-order game offers now as well.
