Tesco has announced an exciting new promotion, giving Clubcard holders the chance to become an instant ‘points millionaire’.
To celebrate the supermarket loyalty scheme’s 30th year, a million Virgin Points will be awarded to one lucky customer, which they can then be spent on holidays, flights, travel upgrades and experiences galore.
For context, this top prize is enough for three nights (for two people) at the Mahali Mzuri luxury safari resort in Kenya’s Maasai Mara, three nights at the Kasbah Tamadot retreat in the Atlas mountains, and six nights at Mont Rochelle in the heart of South Africa’s wine region.
Five runners up will also get 500,000 points each, equivalent to the value of around $7,000 (£5,174) according to Nerdwallet analysis.
To be in the running, all you need to do is auto-exchange a minimum of 250 Clubcard points with Virgin Red or Virgin Atlantic Flying Club.
But you’ll need to act fast, as the competition closes on July 20.
Through auto-exchange – which you can set up on your Virgin Red or Virgin Atlantic Flying Club account – each Clubcard point you earn will automatically be converted into two Virgin Points with each quarterly statement..
And even if you don’t win the big jackpot, all new Clubcard members who register before the deadline will get 5,000 bonus Virgin Points — every little helps, right?
Alternatively, you can enter the draw by submitting a manual ‘request Virgin points’ order on the ‘my points’ section of your Clubcard account. The closing date to do this is also July 20.
Kelly Best, managing director of product, customer experience and marketing at Virgin Red, said: ‘We’re thrilled to be celebrating Tesco Clubcard’s 30th birthday with a truly extraordinary giveaway.
‘At Virgin Red, we believe in rewarding our members in unforgettable ways, and what better way to do that than by giving them the chance to become a Points Millionaire.’
This isn’t the only new perk available to Clubcard holders right now either. Tesco also recently launched a new offer where those with electric vehicles can collect one reward point for every pound they spend on Pod chargers at the supermarket’s car parks.
At present, Pod operates roughly 2,600 EV charging bays at more than 600 Tesco car Parks across the UK.
Shama Wilson, Tesco’s group membership and loyalty director, commented: ‘Our customers have long been able to collect points on fuel from Tesco, but with an increasing number of drivers switching to electric vehicles we are delighted that shoppers will now be able to collect Clubcard points when they charge their cars at our stores, thanks to our exciting partnership with Pod.
‘You can now park at your local Tesco and top-up your electric vehicle while you shop, in the knowledge that you are collecting Clubcard points towards a future Tesco shop or to exchange with one of our Reward Partners.’
