IMPORTANT NOTE - The partnership between Tesco Clubcard and British Airways is ending. Details in this thread: No more Avios from Tesco Clubcard [ends 18th January 2021]
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 Ł1 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 ended on 22 October 2020.
The last day for collecting points in the current quarter is 28 January 2021. Note: The end of the Clubcard / BA partnership means that routine vouchers for points earned in the current quarter will be issued too late for conversion into Avios.
TopCashback (TCB)
You can no longer convert TCB cashback into Clubcard points and onto Avios. Cashback can still be transferred directly to your Avios account at rate of 1p = 1.05 Avios although this is not a great deal (although cheaper than buying them from BA).

I converted Ł50 worth on the 14th July. No bonus for me although I used to use 80 litres of Vpower per week converting to Avios before the changes to Shell.

- From 11 July 2019 any Tesco Clubcard points converted to Avios in your Tesco Clubcard account by midnight on 31 December 2019 will qualify for 40% bonus Avios. Any points earned after this date will not qualify for the 40% bonus.
i think all conversions will work.
i did some on 13th July so will see if they arrive by 13th Aug

Converted mine yesterday, so fingers crossed I get the bonus too.
Really struggling to get much from Tesco at the moment... Apart from shopping that is.

Logged onto my BAEC account today. Surprised to see extra avios points. Turns out to be Tesco 40% extra Avios points! Didn’t convert any points. Haven’t got petrol at Shell for more than a year ago. So not sure why I got it. Mind you, didn’t get that much!
