Back in August, I wrote about how Tesco Clubcard members could earn 1,000 free miles from Virgin Atlantic Flying Club, simply for setting their account to Auto Opt-In. You can read that post by clicking here. Unfortunately that promotion has now ended.

During a recent update on Award Wallet of my account balances, I noticed an extra 1,000 miles in my Virgin Atlantic Flying Club account. I double-checked to confirm, and indeed my Tesco Clubcard Opt-in bonus had posted, exactly a month after I switched my Tesco account settings.

Now, it makes no sense at all to actually have your Clubcard points automatically convert to Virgin Atlantic miles. You are better off receiving vouchers and hanging on to them until a conversion bonus comes around, such as the recent 20% offer.

So, assuming that you also signed up for Auto Opt-In, it’s now time to check your Virgin account for those 1,000 miles, and to set your Clubcard settings back to vouchers…

Hopefully the next Clubcard voucher cycle (in November) will repeat the same offer. I’ve done this so many times I must have received close to 10,000 free Virgin Atlantic miles from Tesco by now…
