Martin Lewis' MSE shares Tesco Clubcard trick to turn £5 worth of points to £30
Martin Lewis's Money Saving Expert has shared a simple trick that can boost your Clubcard balance, and it's a 'no-brainer'.
Until the end of the month, Tesco is offering an extra 1,000 points (worth £10 when spent in Tesco) to anyone who swaps 500 Clubcard points (worth £5) for a Days Out Reward Partner code, which offer customers tickets to a range of UK attractions.
Tesco Clubcard already allows members to double the value of their points when they exchange them for a Reward Partner code — and now, you'll get an extra 1,000 points, equivalent to £10, too.
This means, for just 500 points you'll end up with the £10 Days Out code, plus the bonus 1,000 points.
Even if you're not planning on going on your day out, it's still worth it, as you don't need to book or attend anything to get the bonus.
The code can get you £10 of partner vouchers to redeem against tickets for places including Blackpool Pleasure Beach, The London Eye, Chessington World of Adventures and more.
Then, if you're really savvy, you could use the 1,000 bonus and exchange for another Rewards Partner voucher — this time, from any of the supermarket's partners — which will then be doubled to the value of £20, as per Tesco's regular policy.

This means that with just the 500 points (or £5) you started with, you've ended up with vouchers equivalent to £30.
The 1,000 bonus offer is only available until Tuesday July 29, and shoppers can expect to see the bonus hitting their Clubcard accounts by October 19.
The Days Out Reward Partner codes are valid for six months, so you can use them later in the year, while the Tesco Clubcard vouchers are valid for two years. More Trending
However, MSE has yet another clever trick to extend Clubcard vouchers.
If your Clubcard vouchers are due to run out and you don't want to use them yet, you can simply spend a small amount, and the remaining balance is credited back to your Clubcard as points.
MSE confirms they'll then be reissued as a new voucher with an expiry date of up to two years in the future. So, if you spend 50p from a £10 voucher, you'll get £9.50 as new vouchers.

'There's no min spend, but the aim's to shell out as little as possible,' the website states. 'A good option might be a 50p restaurant voucher (worth £1 at your chosen restaurant).'

Cheapest UK supermarket: Lidl beats Aldi, Tesco and Asda
Which? found that Lidl had beaten Aldi for the first time since October 2023. The products included Hovis sliced bread, milk and cheese, and the consumer experts checked prices at eight of the UK's biggest supermarkets throughout July. Supermarket average price for 76 items According to the Which? report, Lidl was the cheapest overall, beating rival discounter Aldi by £1.25 if you had a Lidl Plus card, or 85p if not. The third cheapest was Asda, which doesn't offer loyalty pricing in the same way as the others. Tesco without a loyalty card was still cheaper than shopping at Morrisons with one. Sainsbury's was running Nectar price promotions on 15 items, while Tesco had Clubcard prices on 16. Meanwhile, Morrisons had two More scheme discounts on items in our basket, and Lidl had three items on our list with a loyalty discount. Waitrose had no loyalty deals on the shopping list items. It was the most expensive supermarket again this month, averaging £170.91 – that's over £42 (or 33%) more than Lidl. UK inflation rose to a near 18-month high this summer as food prices shot up for the third month running. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said Consumer Prices Index inflation rose to 3.6% in June, up from 3.4% in May and the highest since January 2024. The increase was unexpected, with most economists forecasting inflation to remain unchanged at 3.4%. Chancellor Rachel Reeves says there's 'more to do' to help bring inflation down. She said: 'I know working people are still struggling with the cost of living.' 'There is more to do and I'm determined we deliver on our Plan for Change to put more money into people's pockets,' she added. Rob Mansfield, Independent Financial Advisor at Rootes Wealth Management, says: 'The cost of living crisis continues to bite. The rise in motor fuels was expected given the war in the Middle East and it shows how vulnerable our island is to events all over the globe. "Most people can't avoid these price rises, so they ask for higher wages, which can in turn drive up prices.' The figures come after gross domestic product (GDP) shrank by 0.1% in May, following a 0.3% fall in April and leading to fears of a contraction overall in the third quarter. Recommended reading: Borrowing costs are set to ease further as the Bank of England contends with stagnant growth and rising unemployment, experts have predicted. Most economists think the Bank's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) will cut interest rates by 0.25 percentage points to 4% on Thursday. Interest rates have been steadily cut over the past year from a peak of 5.25%.
