Martin Lewis issues Tesco Clubcard warning as vouchers to expire

More than 24 million households currently own a Tesco Clubcard.

Clubcard members can earn points in a variety of ways, including using their Clubcard when they shop (in-store or online) or purchase fuel at Tesco.

These points can then be turned into vouchers, which can be used for the weekly shop, fuel, or on a new deal with Tesco Mobile.

Customers can also exchange them for double or triple their value with more than 100 Clubcard reward partners, or take advantage of some Reward Partner deals.

Reward Partners include Disney+, Pizza Express, Cineworld, easyJet Holidays, and Fitbit.

Martin Lewis issues Tesco Clubcard warning as £11 million-worth of vouchers set to expire

Tesco Clubcard vouchers are valid for two years.

If they are not exchanged during this time, they will expire, and members will miss out on using their points.

Martin Lewis has urged all Clubcard members to check their vouchers immediately, with £11 million-worth set to expire on Saturday (February 28) at 11.59pm.

The Money Saving Expert (MSE) website says: “If you’re unsure when yours expire and you’ve still got them in paper format, check the date on the voucher itself.

“If you’ve lost your paper vouchers, or are unsure if you had any in the first place, you can check on the Tesco Clubcard site or app.”

You can find details about your Clubcard vouchers on the Tesco Clubcard website or via the app, by selecting ‘Clubcard account’ and then ‘Vouchers’.

How to double or triple the value of your Tesco Clubcard vouchers

If you are looking to spend your Clubcard vouchers before they expire in the coming days, Martin Lewis’ MSE website reveals how you can double or triple their value.

To increase the value of your vouchers, all you have to do is spend the vouchers with one of Tesco’s Reward Partners:

• Double value (£5 voucher = £10 to spend): Alton Towers, Disney+, Hotels.com, and more.
• Triple value (£5 voucher = £15 to spend): ASK Italian, Bella Italia, Frankie & Benny’s, Las Iguanas, Pizza Express, Prezzo Italian, or Zizzi.

You can see the full list of Reward Partners via the Tesco website.

How to extend Tesco Clubcard vouchers

If you don’t want to spend your Clubcard vouchers immediately, you may be able to extend the expiry date by another two years, MSE explains.

All you have to do is make a small purchase (using your voucher) on the Tesco Clubcard Rewards page or donate to a charity partner.

The remaining balance will be credited to your Clubcard account, and you’ll get new vouchers with fresh expiry dates (which should last another two years).

There is no minimum spend.

Money Saving Expert added: “Technically, under the Clubcard T&Cs, Tesco can refuse a Reward Partner order if it decides you’re trying to game the system by redeeming vouchers just to extend their validity – but we tested the trick at MoneySavingExpert.com Towers this week and it worked just fine.”
