Tesco apologises after shoppers they'd been handed free £100 in big blunder – check who's really eligible
TESCO has apologised after shoppers mistakenly thought they'd been handed £100 in Clubcard points.
The supermarket giant partnered with easyJet Holidays earlier this year offering customers £100 worth of points when booking a trip using Clubcard vouchers.
However, a recent technical error saw some customers receiving emails saying they'd earned £100 in Clubcard points despite them not taking part in the promotion.
Confused shoppers took to X, formerly Twitter, today to comment on the mix-up.
One wrote: 'Did anyone else get this weird Tesco email today about £100 of Clubcard points being ours and then not being ours.'
Another said: 'WTF is this about @Tesco? I demand £100 of Clubcard points NOW!!'
A Tesco spokesperson said: 'An email meant for customers who had collected £100 of Clubcard points after booking an easyJet Holidays break using Tesco Clubcard Vouchers was mistakenly sent to other Clubcard members.
"We are sorry about the confusion and have followed up with an email to the customers who wrongly received the message to apologise.'
Only those who booked an easyJet holiday using Clubcard vouchers during the promotional period are eligible for the bonus points.
So, if you received the email but didn't book a trip, unfortunately, the £100 bonus isn't yours.
In other news the UK's biggest supermarket recently re-launched the F&F clothing clothing brand online.
It comes after the retailer confirmed last month it would be making a return for the first time in seven years.
TOP TESCO BUYS
Shoppers were first able to buy the F&F range on a separate site from 2009 before it was moved onto Tesco Direct in 2016.
However it was ditched in 2018.
Customers could still buy items from the collection through Next until this January, until it stopped stocking the range.
What is Tesco Clubcard?
Tesco Clubcard customers earn points when shopping in-store or online.
You earn one point for each £1 spent and each point is then worth 1p.
Once you've earned 150 points, equivalent to spending £150, you receive a voucher worth £1.50.
This voucher can then be used to get money off a shop in your local Tesco store or online, or with Tesco's rewards partners.
You can also earn points by making purchases through a range of Tesco's partners including Xauxhall, Evri and OVO Energy.
For example, shoppers buying a new Vauxhall car can get 50,000 Clubcard points or those spending £1 with Evri get one point.
Of course, you can double the value of any points earned by spending them at any one of Tesco's rewards partners.
The full list of Tesco's partners is on its website via secure.tesco.com/clubcard/reward-partners.
Any vouchers transferred into Reward Partner codes expire after six months.
You can sign up to Tesco Clubcard on the app, which is downloadable via Google Play or the Apple App Store.
Alternatively, you can order one via Tesco.com.
How to save money at Tesco
EVERY little helps when it comes to saving money at Tesco.
The Sun's Head of Consumer Tara Evans explains how you can save money at the UK's biggest supermarket.
Clubcard points
Tesco first launched its loyalty scheme back in 1995. You get one point for every £1 you spend in store. If you spend points in store then 100 points is worth £1. You can spend your points via its reward partners and get triple and even sometimes quadruple the value.
Extend Clubcard points
You can find lost Clubcard points and find the last two years of unused vouchers by logging into the Tesco Clubcard site.
Clubcard prices
If you don't have a Clubcard then you will miss out on its cheaper Clubcard prices. However, don't forget to check prices before you shop because it might not be cheaper than elsewhere, especially on big value items like washing powder and loo roll.
Yellow stickers
Shops do vary the time they reduce groceries with yellow stickers but Tesco tends to be between 7pm and 9pm.
Save money if you shop online
If you get your Tesco food shop delivered then it might be worth buying a delivery saver pass to help cut the cost of delivery fees.
If you live near a Tesco then you can get click and collect slots of as little as 25p, so it might be cheaper than getting your food delivered.

Tottenham clear decks for Thomas Frank as Spurs sack THREE of Ange Postecoglou's coaching team hours after boss axed
TOTTENHAM have sacked three members of Ange Postecoglou's coaching staff following the Aussie manager's dismissal yesterday. Postecoglou was relieved of his duties in North London yesterday despite leading Spurs to a first trophy in over 17 years this season. 5 5 5 The 59-year-old said his "overriding emotion is one of pride" following his dismissal, while Spurs claimed the decision to sack the former Celtic boss was one the "toughest" the board has had to make. Now the search for a new manager is underway and Spurs are already clearing the decks for their number one target - Brentford gaffer Thomas Frank. The Telegraph have revealed that Postecoglou's assistants Nick Montgomery, Sergio Raimundo and Mile Jedinak have all been axed too. However, senior assistant coach Matt Wells and goalkeeper coach Rob Burch have remained in their roles. Sporting director Johan Lange is leading the search for Spurs' new boss with Bees gaffer Frank, 51, thought to be the front-runner for the position. It's claimed that Frank is keen on taking the job at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and would want to bring members of his coaching staff along with him. Although the Dane is Spurs' preferred candidate, the club are reportedly "carefully assessing" their options with Fulham 's Marco Silva and Bournemouth 's Andoni Iraola also in the frame. It's widely understood that Spurs would have to fork out around £10m to release Frank from his current deal with Brentford, which runs until 2027. 5 5 Spurs have already had to splash the cash to get rid of Postecoglou, with the Aussie pocketing a rumoured £4m compensation fee on top of his £2m bonus for leading the club to Europa League glory. Sporting director Lange and Frank have history, with the pair coaching together at Danish club Lyngby and maintaining a good relationship since those days. Tottenham told fans in a statement that "news on the appointment of a new Head Coach will be announced in due course". Fans have hit back at Spurs for their decision to dismiss Postecoglou after winning the Europa League. While club is also facing a dressing room revolt with players more likely to leave after Postecoglou's exit, according to reports. But the Spurs hierarchy reiterated that they cannot base their decisions off their performance in just one competition. Their statement read: "Whilst winning the Europa League this season ranks as one of the club's greatest moments, we cannot base our decision on emotions aligned to this triumph. "It is crucial that we are able to compete on multiple fronts and believe a change of approach will give us the strongest chance for the coming season and beyond. "This has been one of the toughest decisions we have had to make and is not a decision that we have taken lightly, nor one we have rushed to conclude. "We have made what we believe is the right decision to give us the best chance of success going forward, not the easy decision." Ange Breaks Silence On Tottenham Sacking ANGE Postecoglou issued a statement just moments after being axed. It read: "When I reflect on my time as manager of Tottenham Hotspur, my overriding emotion is one of pride. "The opportunity to lead one of England's historic football clubs and bring back the glory it deserves will live with me for a lifetime. "Sharing that experience with all those who truly love this club and seeing the impact it had on them is something I will never forget. "That night in Bilbao was the culmination of two years of hard work, dedication and unwavering belief in a dream. "There were many challenges to overcome and plenty of noise that comes with trying to accomplish what many said was not possible. "We have also laid the foundations that means this club should not have to wait 17 more years for their next success. "I have enormous faith in this group of players and know there is much more potential and growth in them. I sincerely want to thank those who are the lifeblood of the club, the supporters. "I know there were some difficult times, but I always felt that they wanted me to succeed and that gave me all the motivation I needed to push on. "It's important to acknowledge the hard working people at Spurs who gave me encouragement on a daily basis. "And finally, I want to thank those who were with me every day for the last two years. "A fantastic group of young men who are now legends of this football club and the brilliant coaches who never once doubted we could do something special. 'We are forever connected. Audere est Facere.'

Home Office plans to spend £2.2bn of foreign aid on asylum support this year
The Home Office plans to spend about £2.2 billion of foreign aid to support asylum seekers this financial year, according to new figures. The amount of overseas development assistance (ODA) budgeted by the Home Office – which is largely used to cover accommodation costs such as hotels for asylum seekers – is slightly less than the £2.3 billion it spent in 2024/25. International rules allow countries to count first-year costs of supporting refugees as overseas development assistance (ODA). The figures, first reported by the BBC, were published in recent days on the Home Office website. The Home Office said it is 'urgently taking action to restore order and reduce costs' which will cut the amount spent to support asylum seekers and refugees in the UK. It also said it was expected to have saved £500 million in asylum support costs in the last financial year, and that this had saved £200 million in ODA which had been passed back to the Treasury. A total of 32,345 asylum seekers were being housed temporarily in UK hotels at the end of March this year. This figure is down 15% from the end of December, when the total was 38,079, and 6% lower than the 34,530 at the same point a year earlier. Asylum seekers and their families are housed in temporary accommodation if they are waiting for the outcome of a claim or an appeal and have been assessed as not being able to support themselves independently. They are housed in hotels if there is not enough space in accommodation provided by local authorities or other organisations. Labour has previously said it is 'committed to end the use of asylum hotels over time', adding that under the previous Conservative government at one stage 'more than 400 hotels were in use and almost £9 million per day was being spent'. Jo White, chairwoman of the Red Wall group of Labour MPs, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme on Saturday: 'We need to be looking at things like ECHR article eight. I don't think anything's off the table … including looking at new options such as processing abroad. 'So, we have to be open to see how we can move move that backlog as quickly as possible. I'm getting impatient. 'I know my colleagues in parliament are getting impatient and we're pressing the Government as hard as we can on this.' A Home Office spokesperson said: 'We inherited an asylum system under exceptional pressure and are urgently taking action to restore order and reduce costs. 'This will ultimately reduce the amount of official development assistance spent to support asylum seekers and refugees in the UK. 'We are immediately speeding up decisions and increasing returns so that we can end the use of hotels and save the taxpayer £4 billion by 2026. 'The Rwanda scheme also wasted £700 million to remove just four volunteers – instead, we have surged removals to nearly 30,000 since the election, are giving law enforcement new counter-terror style powers, and increasing intelligence sharing through our Border Security Command to tackle the heart of the issue, vile people-smuggling gangs.'

Ryanair-approved cabin bag that's 'well-designed' and 'waterproof' now under £20
'Maximizes the space for budget flight providers and I've never been stopped even with the bag full to the brim.' Summer is here, and with it comes the holidays. But those flying abroad with budget airlines like Ryanair and EasyJet will be all too familiar with the strict rules for baggage allowance, particularly the allocated size for a cabin bag. Ryanair is known for having very strict regulations as to what's allowed as hand luggage, allowing just one small bag per passenger for free, with dimensions that do not succeed 40cm x 20cm x 25cm. However, the Mirror has found the perfect travel bag on Amazon that fits these requirements exactly, so holidaymakers won't be caught out with extra fees when it comes to boarding. And what's more, it's now been slashed by 36 per cent from £27.99 to £17.99- just in time for the start of summer. The Xkdoai Cabin Bag measures exactly 40cm x 20cm x 25cm and has a 20 litre capacity, making sure it's fully compliant with the tight regulations whilst still giving travellers plenty of room for their essentials. It even has adjustable straps on the outside that lets the user compress it further, ensuring it won't exceed the regulations. Although it has a classic backpack design which makes it comfortable and easy to carry, it opens out flat just like a suitcase would, making it much easier to pack. There's a hidden zipped pocket at the back for valuables like phones or passports, a cable hole in the side to connect a phone to a charger on the go, and multiple other pockets to keep things organised. Xkdoai Cabin Bag 40x20x25 for Ryanair £27.99 £17.99 Amazon Shop Product Description The underside has been designed with a mesh material that allows heat to dissipate to prevent sweating and increase comfort when carrying. There's also an easy to carry top handle, two backpack straps, and a strap which allows shoppers to slot it over the handle of a larger case for easier transportation. For those who prefer a rolling cabin bag, Antler's Cabin with Pocket Suitcase is £230, but a worthy investment if the 4.9 star rating is anything to go by. Alternatively, the Aerolite MiniMax Ryanair Size Cabin Hand Luggage from Aerolite is on sale down from £44.99 to £24.99, and features an extendable handle and rolling wheels. Shoppers have been praising the Xkdoai bag on Amazon, with one saying: 'Good size. Nice material. Lots of pockets.' Another shopper wrote: 'Firstly this has tons of pockets. Probably more than you'll need. "Seems to be pretty waterproof too as i've carried cameras and laptops in it, uncovered - with no issue. It maximizes the space for budget flight providers and I've never been stopped even with the bag full to the brim. "It has extra clips at the side which can strap around you for security. It is comfortable for walking about and travelling. Good size and well designed.' Others were less impressed, saying: 'Loved the colour but the quality isn't quite as good as I expected.' Another put: 'Was fine at first but after a few uses the bottom lining of the bag got folded up - having to unpick the fabric to sort it out now. Overall a nice product but it's a little annoying to have to fix that.' However another loved it, saying: 'Really good backpack! I used it to go on holiday for a week and with compression cubes I managed to fit in everything I needed for the week's travel and it is classed as a cabin bag so no unexpected fees at the airport. Super convenient for traveling light.' The cabin bag can be purchased here. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
