Viking Direct

Earning points from Viking Direct

If you're buying stationary or office supplies Viking is one of the best options for earning Avios or Virgin points. The earn rate is stable, and they're also a great supplier with a wide range of items to buy and fast delivery. If you run a small business then you could be earning thousands, or even tens of thousands, of points every year.

Leverage Viking for more points

As well as earning points on every purchaes, you can triple dip with Viking. Firstly you can earn points from the Avios store, secondly from a points earning credit card and finally you can link your Viking account to a Nectar account and earn 1 point per £ you spend. That earn rate is pretty low, but combined with the other methods it's a nice add-on. Nectar points can then be used directly, or you can transfer them to Avios. It's rare finding triple points earning opportunities.

What does Viking do?

Viking are a supplier of office supplies catering to individuals, SMEs and larger businesses. They've been active since the 1960s, and in the UK since the 1990s, and are generally considered a leader in their field. I've been using them for a number of years and have enjoyed the service and the breadth of products. You can leverage the points earning opportunities if you're a consumer, you do not have to be a business to order from them but you will likely have a bigger opportunity to earn points.
