I got 5000 Bonus VirginRed Points With This Hack!

I got 5000 bonus VirginRed points with this very easy hack and you can too!

Now, if you’ve seen any of my travel hacking posts before you know my wheelhouse is Avios. But when I saw this offer I simply couldn’t resist and I guess I now collect VirginRed points too 🙂

If like me, you’re UK based, you will more than likely already have a Tesco clubcard. And aside from the crazy discounts you’re getting from it, what do you with the points?

I was kinda letting them sit in my account (and am ashamed to say I let £9 worth expire because I forgot about them 🫣) so I was determined to put them to better use and came across this great offer. Did you know you can convert your Tesco clubcard points to VirginRed points? I didn’t! Plus right now you can get 5000 bonus points when you set them to auto-convert!

This is a super easy offer to jump on and one that takes minutes to set up. The fine print is simple too. You have to be setting up the auto-converter for the first time and have at least 250 clubcard points in your account before the end of the promotional period. Read more about the details here.

Wow! What are 5000 bonus points worth?

Now, like with most reward schemes the value of the points range depending on how you redeem them. For example if you were to redeem these bonus points into vouchers, you could get 5x £5 vouchers for Costa Coffee, Starbucks or Cafe Nero. Alternatively, the points go further when you redeem them against flights. Currently you can fly with VirginAtlantic from the UK to New York for as little as 6000 points and £215 in taxes and fees.

I found the same flight on SkyScanner for £438 meaning each point you redeemed was worth 3.7p, making the 5000 bonus points worth £185.83 – that’s much better than £25 worth of coffee, right?!

How do I access this offer?

To access this offer, you will need to be a member of both VirginRed and the Tesco Clubcard scheme. VirginRed is a free reward scheme to join but don’t miss out on bonus points for simply joining. If you join VirginRed using a referral link you’ll get an extra 1000 bonus points when you earn your first points. That would boost this Tesco offer to 6000 points which like we saw above is enough to bag a saver seat from the UK to New York. What a win!

So there you go! A super easy hack to bag 5000 bonus VirginRed points which when paired with a sign-up offer is enough for a flight from the UK to New York! Watch this space as I’m planning on using my 6000 bonus points on a flight just like this!
