Is there a Tesco Clubcard to BA Executive Club Avios Bonus this Quarter?

What do you think? 🙂 It seems the days are, sadly, long gone when Tesco offered bonus Avios for converting Clubcard vouchers to Avios. What seems to be the norm is a competition for all those who convert their vouchers. I received an email this week from BA Executive Club offering a competition entry for exchanging my vouchers.

What can you win?

Not a whole lot, it’s a “holiday” to Kefalonia. I’ve used sarcastic quotes here, as it’s a bit short to count as a proper “holiday” in my book, here’s the detail of what you win;

Return Club Europe flights
3 Nights’ accommodation in a 4 star hotel
All of this, for two people

The prize can be taken anytime between 15th May and 31st August, so at least you can go during the main summer holiday season, although it does state Subject to Availability which could be open to interpretation, but hopefully just means there are seats on the plane and a room at the hotel!

There are 3 hotels to chose from (and one is actually a 5*)

The prize consists of two return British Airways Club Europe flights to Kefalonia with a three-night stay at a choice of hotels on a bed and breakfast basis. The winner can choose between the following hotels: Ionian Emerald 5*, Kefalonia Grand 4*, Avithos Resort 4*. All flights depart from London Heathrow. Early check in and/or late check out may be requested but cannot be guaranteed.

Having a quick look at a long weekend at the start of August it looks like it could be worth about £1,500.

Sounds great – how do I enter?

I have scoured Tesco and BA’s websites, and can find no mention of this competition at all. I doubt that BA value my Blue membership so much that they singled me out for this competition, and the Ts and Cs seem to imply anyone is eligible as follows;

This prize draw is only open to Eligible Participants. An Eligible Participant is a Member of the British Airways Executive Club (“BAEC”) scheme, is aged 18 years or over and is resident in the UK, Channel Islands or Isle of Man, excluding residents of Northern Ireland, and is not an employee of Avios Group Limited (AGL), British Airways PLC (BA) or Tesco Stores Limited (Tesco).

If you are going to convert vouchers purely in the hope of winning, I’d make a couple of points:

Hats off to your sheer optimism!
Satisfy yourself that you will be entered in the draw via a quick call to Tesco Clubcard or BA Executive Club, unless you have already received the same email that I did.

You need to convert a minimum of £5.00 of Clubcard vouchers, and for each £5.00 converted you get one entry to the prize draw (plus the regular 1,200 Avios).

Convert your vouchers here.

Note that the minimum to convert is £2.50, and that gets you zero entries to the prize draw, so if you want to enter, make sure you’re converting £5.00 or multiples thereof.

This competition is for converting to Avios in British Airways Executive Club, and not Avios.com who are running a separate competition. More on that to follow soon!
