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 20 October 2016.
The last day for collecting points in the current quarter is 26 January 2017.
TopCashback (TCB)
Cashback can be transferred directly to your Avios account at rate of 1p = 1.05 Avios although this is not a great deal.

I forgot to buy some gift cards before flying overseas and will not be back before the bonus gift card offer expires.
Can you get the bonus and normal clubcard points from the Gift Card store? I could not see a place to add my clubcard number although the q&a suggests that points can be earned on non Tesco gift cards.
Any experiences?
Thank you.

Just read in the Wiki it takes 1-2 working days to convert. I changed my vouchers on 9th Sept, should I give it a month or give them a call?
Can't remember how long it took when I did it last year.

I'm still waiting for mine -- I have called a couple of things and they keep saying that they are on their way ... sigh.

Are there any rumours (or solid news) on whether the current gift card promotion will continue, change or stop on the posted expiry date?
Just wondering how high my Amazon balance should be.
Thanks

I would imagine the '100 points for a £20 giftcard' coupon may reappear in the Christmas Tesco magazine - but that also means they may leave a gap?
Problem for Tesco is that, having run this deal for 2-3 years, they have no idea now how high gift card sales would be otherwise!

According to the gift card website, Today is the last day of the 75 points per £25 spend. No sign of it being extended.
