TESCO Clubcard holders could be owed hundreds after racking up unused points with the loyalty scheme.
The UK’s biggest supermarket is encouraging shoppers to use up their Clubcard vouchers before they expire on tomorrow, February 28.
The supermarket said last month that up to £17million worth of vouchers still needed to be spent by customers.
Tesco Clubcard is a free loyalty program that allows members to earn points for money off shopping at Tesco.
Customers can use the Clubcard vouchers, which were first issued in February 2023 and will expire at the end of this month, to lower the cost of their weekly shop.
If you think you have Clubcard points that you have not used, it may be worth tracking them down to ensure you are not missing out.
HOW TO TRACK DOWN MISSING POINTS
You need to head to the Tesco Clubcard website to track down your points.
Here you will find your voucher history and points that haven’t been spent yet.
If any are unused then they can be spent instantly online, or you can use them straight away when you next head into a store.
MoneySavingExpert has previously shared a trick to extend points though, if they are about to expire.
Shoppers can extend the dates for another two years by making a small purchase on the Tesco Clubcard site with the voucher or vouchers you have.
The remaining balance of the voucher would then be credited back to your Clubcard account as points, reissued with newer expiry dates.
So if you spend 50p on a £10 voucher, you’ll get £9.50 as new vouchers.
It’s worth bearing in mind that you will have to do this for each voucher.
So it might not be as lucrative for smaller vouchers like those at £1, as you won’t get as much money back.
Tesco keeps Clubcard vouchers on your account for two years.
So you can only go back and use any unspent vouchers as far as this.
WHERE CAN YOU SPEND THE POINTS?
If you decide to use your vouchers for your Tesco shop, every 150 points can be exchanged to the value of £1.50.
Your vouchers can double their value with 100+ Clubcard Reward Partners including PizzaExpress, Hotels.com or easyJet Holidays.
When you spend £1 in-store or online, you get one point when you scan your card or app at the checkout.
Drivers using Clubcards now get one point for every two litres spent on fuel.
You can also double their worth when you swap them for discounts with “reward partners”.
For example, you can turn your vouchers into a 3 month Disney+ Standard With Ads subscription.
To do this, select £7.50 of Clubcard vouchers to get a 3 month Standard With Ads Disney+ subscription.
Tesco shoppers can also get Clubcard prices when they use their loyalty card.
WHAT OTHER SUPERMARKETS OFFER LOYALTY SCHEMES?
Tesco is not the only supermarket to offer schemes to let customers save money.
For example, Sainsbury’s Nectar scheme allows customers to earn one Nectar point for every £1 spent at Sainsbury’s, both in-store and online.
The Morrisons More loyalty card allows customers to earn points for purchases in-store, online, and at petrol stations.
Once a customer has 5,000 points, they can convert them into a £5 voucher, or “Fiver”, which can be used in-store or online.
Asda recently made a major change to its loyalty scheme, which left customers fuming.
Star Products are no longer available as part of its loyalty scheme.
Customers buying Star Products could earn 10% of the price back into their Cashpot.
Any money accumulated in Cashpots could then be converted into vouchers to get money off future Asda shops.
Star Products are available in stores and when shopping online and change on a regular basis.
The remaining features on the Asda Rewards scheme will stay, including Missions.
