On-Demand Pick
Game Of Thrones Blinkbox
The fourth series ended on Monday night on Sky. If you missed it, there’s a great deal from Blinkbox to buy it. You can download all 10 episodes for £17.99 (£23.99 in HD). It’s not a bad price, and the DVD won’t be out for a while.
But what makes it a great deal is that you get 1000 Clubcard points. These are worth £10 in cash in Tesco, but can be traded in for £40 of meal vouchers at Pizza Express, £20 to spend on train tickets and much more (Read our 6 Best Uses Of Tesco Clubcard Points article for our fave ways to take advantage of the scheme.) Plus you get a free 10″ pizza voucher to use at Tesco, worth £4.25.
So for £17.99 you could be getting:
Series 4 of Game Of Thrones
A free pizza
£10 off your groceries
Total worth £31.24
Or
Series 4 of Game Of Thrones
A free pizza

The points are worth £2.50 in spend at Tesco, but worth up to a tenner if you trade in for meals, vouchers and other goodies with Clubcard Boost.
