Tesco has issued a fresh warning to Clubcard customers: check your vouchers now, because any issued in August 2024 will become completely worthless after 11.59pm on August 31. The supermarket says millions of pounds worth of rewards are due to expire at the end of this month, and shoppers who fail to redeem them will lose out entirely.
How Clubcard vouchers work
Clubcard vouchers are sent to customers every three months – in February, May, August and November – as a reward for spending on groceries, clothing, fuel and other items in Tesco stores. Each batch remains valid for two years from the date of issue, which means the vouchers mailed out in August 2024 are now reaching the end of their shelf life.
According to Tesco, any vouchers from that batch must be used before the deadline or they will be lost. The company has not specified the exact total value of expiring vouchers, but has described it as “millions of pounds”.
Triple your voucher value
The supermarket giant has reminded members that they can triple the value of their rewards by spending them with one of more than 100 reward partners. These include Hotels.com, Disney+, and restaurant chains such as PizzaExpress and Bella Italia.
Tesco says that £100 in vouchers could be exchanged for £300 worth of food at selected chains, ten weeks of four cinema tickets, eleven three-month streaming subscriptions, five one-year Railcards, or £200 of credit towards an easyJet holidays getaway.
Clubcard Plus free trial offer
In addition, Tesco is promoting its Clubcard Plus subscription service. All new subscribers will receive their first month for free, provided they have not been a subscriber within the last six months. To sign up, customers should go to the Clubcard Plus page and follow the process, entering payment details – though they will not be charged until the free month ends.
After the trial period, the £7.99 monthly subscription fee will be charged automatically. Customers can continue enjoying the benefits without taking any further action, and can cancel their subscription at any time. Further details are available in the FAQs under 'Managing my Subscription'.
