changing clubcard points to Flying club miles ?

Hi Guys
I am going to convert some club card points to FC miles but I have never done this before ...
it still states that its 625/£2.50 on the order page but in the write up it sates that its an extra 15% is this right ?
and it also states that if you enrol into the auto convert its 1000 extra fc miles, so if I do this should I do it before I change them over and can I cancel it later before the next round is due out (hoping to save the for another bonus)

hope this makes sense as im still pretty new to the miles mounting game :blush:
oh and I managed to pic up one of the printers yesterday with the 35000 extra cc points on it (guess what my parents are getting for Christmas ;-) )

Hi Lisa,

You are correct in that you do receive 625 miles per £2.50 , you will receive the extra 15% once you have converted but this make take a day or two , I am not sure on the 1000 as this I think this is when you set your presences in tesco to auto convert so you might have missed this quarter but yes you can turn off auto convert at any time . Well done on the 35000 tesco points :-D

Which printer gave you 35000 clubcard point? Guessing that must be a typo. ;-)

Never tried it but think it would be ok as you have to enter the flying club membership number when transferring.

Its Double boosts with Tesco Clubcard atm - so consider what you do with the miles...
Is £35 of clubcard better spent on £70 at Tesco Direct?

I think with the 15% bonus it works out at 10000 miles or so
Don't know if you can split the miles - Clubcard may allow you to change the V number linked.

You could always just sit on the clubcard points for now... may get a better bonus % next time.

Quite possible tesco only want to give 15% to compete with its double boost (think in may it was 20% extra)

It will be virgin who decide the percentages, i'm guessing they have reduced it each time (30% in Jan, 20% in May) as BA have offered nothing in that time, but now they've announced 20%
