Club Eurostar appears to be running a generous promotion to get people to sign up to its free newsletter.
I found this offer by accident. I was on the site, looking for information on how to change a ticket for an upcoming trip, and up popped a pop-up.
I tried to capture the pop-up but I messed up and only saved the central image, which looks like this:
Club Eurostar wanted to give me 200 points for opting in to their newsletter.
That’s fine by me! Even after the devaluation last year, I still value Club Eurostar points at 7p to 10p each as we wrote here. Let’s call it £15 of value for 200 points.
(If you use 200 points for a discount on a cash ticket, and not a redemption, they are worth £5.)
I logged out and logged back in as my wife. She got the same pop-up message. Thank you very much.
A few points to note:
- I got this on desktop – I don’t know if it works on mobile
- I had to click around a bit after logging in before the pop-up appeared
- If you have blocked pop-ups in your browser then you might not see it – it depends how it has been coded
- You won’t see the offer if you’re not logged in to Club Eurostar – it requires Eurostar to already have your personal data on file because all you are asked to do is click a ‘Yes’ button to be opted-in
EDIT: If you click here you will go directly to a sign-up page for the newsletter which shows the bonus points offer.
The 200 free Club Eurostar points are meant to appear in your account within 48 hours but appear to be virtually instant.
