Tesco apologises after accidentally sending Clubcard email to shoppers
Tesco has apologised after some shoppers were mistakenly told they were being awarded £100 in Clubcard points. The supermarket ran a promotion where customers could get £100 of Clubcard points when they booked an easyJet holiday.
However, some shoppers were accidentally sent an email saying they were being given the £100 in Clubcard points - despite not taking part in the offer.
One customer wrote on X: '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!!' The supermarket sent out a second email to all affected customers, explaining the mix-up.
The second email read: 'We sent you an email about our Reward Partners on Sunday 11 May (great!). Unfortunately, we mistakenly said we'd added £100 of Clubcard points to your account for booking an easyJet holiday (not so great!).
'We're very sorry for any confusion we caused, and we hope you have a lovely summer, whatever your holiday plans.'
A spokesperson from Tesco 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.'
It comes after Tesco finally launched its F&F range online. Tesco shoppers used to be able to purchase F&F clothing through the Tesco Direct website - but this closed down in 2018.
The collection was also once available to buy online through Next, until the retailer stopped selling F&F in January 2024.
A curated selection of women's, men's and kids' clothing, as well as footwear and accessories on Tesco.com and through the Grocery and Clubcard App.
The range includes pieces through the F&F Edit, Sports and F&F Active Athleisure clothing. It will also feature exclusive collaborations and seasonal items, such as school uniforms.
The online range will continue to expand over the coming months. Customers will be able to shop F&F clothing across Tesco.com and the Tesco Grocery and Clubcard app, earning Clubcard points on all their purchases.
Katja Ahola Klamkin, Tesco Group Managing Director, Home & Clothing said: 'We are thrilled to bring F&F clothing to Tesco.com and our Grocery and Clubcard App.
'We know our customers love the quality, affordability and style of F&F and this will make it even easier and more convenient to shop the ranges they know and love.'
The supermarket teased the launch in its financial results last month, where it said "launch of F&F clothing is scheduled to go live for customers in the year ahead".

We went shopping three years apart to find out what is really going on with supermarket prices
We went shopping three years apart to find out what is really going on with supermarket prices Whilst some stores have reduced their prices since 2022, one store's jumped by more than 30% There were some shocking surprises (Image: PA) In July this year it was recorded that food prices have continued to rise as inflation reached the highest level for the past 18 months. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said Consumer Prices Index inflation rose to 3.6% in June, the highest it has been since January 2024. Whilst grocery prices overall have increased throughout this year, we compared the price of everyday food essentials at the top supermarkets today to what they were three years ago in 2022. In 2022 over six months, we visited popular food retailers Tesco, Asda, Lidl, Aldi, M&S, Sainsbury's and Morrisons to compare the prices of basic items. Now we have gone back to the same stores three years later to see how much the prices have changed in that time and there were some shocking finds. For money-saving tips, sign up to our Money newsletter here In August 2022 the UK consumer price inflation rate was a staggering 9.9% according to the Office of National Statistics. The latest figures for inflation for June 2025 state that the rate was 3.6%, higher than the government's target of less than 2%. Article continues below Three out of the seven stores we visited had an overall reduction in price since 2022 whilst Marks and Spencer's went up by more than 30%. Even though you can now find cheese locked up for security purposes in many shops, as it is deemed a high value item, in some places the cost of a pack of mature cheddar has decreased as much as 79p in Morrisons. In recent years supermarkets such as Tesco, Sainsbury's and Morrisons have vowed to keep their prices low for many items by price matching Aldi. However, it was actually Lidl that had the lowest prices for every product as well as a decrease in overall price since 2022. The shopping bills for each supermarket in August 2025 Morrisons two pints of semi-skimmed milk - £1.25 (price match) (same price) (price match) (same price) a box of 6 free range eggs - £1.75 (up from £1.05) (up from £1.05) 400g pack of mature cheddar cheese - £3.20 (down from £3.99 for 350g) (down from £3.99 for 350g) 500g of spaghetti - 75p (price match) (down from 89p) (price match) (down from 89p) one load of thick-cut white sliced bread - 75p (down from £1.40) (down from £1.40) six Braeburn appeals - £1.70 (down from £1.89) (down from £1.89) a 12-pack of breakfast wheat cereal - £2.00 (up from £1.70) Total: £11.40 (down 6.3% from £12.17 from 2022) Lidl two pints of semi-skimmed milk - £1.20 (up from £1.15) (up from £1.15) a box of 6 free range eggs - 86p (down from 99p) (down from 99p) 400g pack of mature cheddar cheese - £2.79 (down from £3.19 for 350g) (down from £3.19 for 350g) 500g of spaghetti - 28p (down from 32p) (down from 32p) one load of thick-cut white sliced bread - 75p (down from £1.19) (down from £1.19) six Braeburn apples - £1.49 (up from £1.39) (up from £1.39) a 36-pack of breakfast wheat cereal - £2.05 (up from £1.79 for 12-pack) Total: £9.42 (down 6% from £10.02 in 2022) Sainsbury's two pints of semi-skimmed milk - £1.20 (up from £1.20) (up from £1.20) a box of 6 free range eggs - £1.75 (up from £1.05) (up from £1.05) 400g pack of mature cheddar cheese - £3.15 (down from £3.25 for 350g) (down from £3.25 for 350g) 500g of spaghetti - 75p (Aldi price match) (down from 85p) (Aldi price match) (down from 85p) one load of thick-cut white sliced bread - 75p (Aldi price match) (down from £1.20) (Aldi price match) (down from £1.20) six Braeburn apples - £1.70 (same price) (same price) a 24-pack of breakfast wheat cereal - £1.37 (Aldi price match) (down from £1.60 for 12-pack) Total: £10.67 (down 1.2% from £10.80 in 2022) Tesco two pints of semi-skimmed milk - £1.20 (Aldi price match) (up from £1.15) (Aldi price match) (up from £1.15) a box of 6 free range eggs - £1.75 (up from £1.05) (up from £1.05) 400g pack of mature cheddar cheese - £3.25 (down from £3.60 for 350g) (down from £3.60 for 350g) 500g of spaghetti - 85p (Aldi price match) (same price) (Aldi price match) (same price) one load of thick-cut white sliced bread - 75p (Aldi price match) (down from £1.20) (Aldi price match) (down from £1.20) five Braeburn appeals - £1.70 (Clubcard price £1.40 ) (same price for six) (Clubcard price ) (same price for six) a 24-pack of breakfast wheat cereal - £1.90 (up from £1.60 for 12-pack) Total: £11.40 (up 2.33% from £11.14 in 2022) Asda two pints of semi-skimmed milk - £1.20 (up from £1.15) (up from £1.15) a box of 6 free range eggs - £1.75 (up from 99p) (up from 99p) 400g pack of mature cheddar cheese - £3.14 (down from £3.19 for 350g) (down from £3.19 for 350g) 500g of spaghetti - 75p (up from 32p) (up from 32p) one load of thick-cut white sliced bread - 75p (down from £1.19) (down from £1.19) six Braeburn apples - £1.67 (up from £1.39) (up from £1.39) a 24-pack of breakfast wheat cereal - £1.90 (up from £1.76 for 12-pack) Total: £11.16 (up 11.4% from £10.02 in 2022) Aldi two pints of semi-skimmed milk - £1.65 (up from £1.15) (up from £1.15) a box of 6 free range eggs - £1.55 (up from 95p) (up from 95p) 400g pack of mature cheddar cheese - £2.79 (up from £2.39 for 350g) (up from £2.39 for 350g) 500g of spaghetti - 75p (up from 69p) (up from 69p) one load of thick-cut white sliced bread - 75p (down from £1.19) (down from £1.19) six Braeburn apples - £1.49 (up from £1.39) (up from £1.39) a 36-pack of breakfast wheat cereal - £2.02 (was £1.79 for 12-pack) Total: £11 (up 15.2% from £9.55 in 2022) Article continues below Marks & Spencer two pints of semi-skimmed milk - £1.20 (up from £1.15) (up from £1.15) a box of 6 free range eggs - £1.80 (up from £1) (up from £1) 350g pack of mature cheddar cheese - £2.75 (up from £2.25) (up from £2.25) 500g of spaghetti - £2.30 (up from 85p) (up from 85p) one load of thick-cut white sliced bread - 75p (up from 70p) (up from 70p) six Braeburn apples - £1.80 (up from £1.75) (up from £1.75) a 12-pack of breakfast wheat cereal - £2 (up from £1.95) Total: £12.60 (up 30.6% from £9.65 in 2022)

Students can get ‘first-class' Samsung phone and Chromebook from Tesco Mobile for £20p/m – here's how
Summer's nearly done, and let's be honest, a lot of students will be thinking about getting back to uni or college. Tesco Mobile is offering a brilliant bundle deal that combines a Chromebook and Samsung's budget-friendly A16 handset - with the lowest monthly price starting at just £19.99 with a Clubcard. Samsung Galaxy A16 with Chromebook Go, from £23.99p/m (£19.99p/m with Clubcard) This is an absolute gem of a deal for students looking for some low-cost tech for their studies ahead of their return to colleges and universities. Tesco Mobile has rolled out a deal that covers all the bases, without a fuss. You get a Samsung Galaxy A16 smartphone and a Chromebook Go laptop, all on one simple, low-cost contract. Better yet, there are big savings for shoppers with a Tesco Clubcard. If you're signed up to the supermarket's loyalty scheme, the 3GB data plan drops to £19.99 per month (it's typically £23.99 per month). The 12GB plan, meanwhile, is a just £22.99 a month (usually £28.99 per month). The Samsung Galaxy A16 is one of the brand's most affordable handsets. Let's be clear: it doesn't have all the AI-powered bells and whistles of a flagship like the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. But despite being a budget device, it's still got the pedigree of the UK's top-selling Android brand, and has an impressive-looking range of features. It comes with a big, crisp 6.7-inch Super AMOLED screen. That's the sort of size you generally expect from 'max' smartphones - and to be fair, the aforementioned Galaxy S25 Ultra is only slightly larger at 6.9 inches. The camera on the back of the A16 is eye-catching for an entry-level device, with a 50MP main sensor that should snap some decent photos. Up front, there's a solid 13MP camera for all your video calls with the family or for getting that perfect selfie. And let's talk about the battery, because this thing is an absolute beast - it's a huge 5,000mAh unit that will keep you going all day long. (That's an interesting aspect of cheap phones, by the way: they tend to have great stamina.) A when you do need to charge it up, the fast charging gets you back in the game in no time. Interestingly, the SIM-free Galaxy A16 is currently sold out on Amazon, where it has an average rating of 4.3 out of 5 and largely positive reviews. One shopper says: 'Amazing phone, highly recommended... Love, love, love!' Another customer talks about its 'first-class service.' The Chromebook Go is a top bit of kit for a student on the move. It weighs next to nothing at 1.45kg, so you can just chuck it in your bag without even noticing it's there. It runs on Chrome OS and fires up in seconds, perfect for knocking out essays or doing research without any faffing about. The screen even folds right back, which is handy for showing your mates something you're working on. With a battery that goes the distance for up to 12 hours, you'll be able to work all day without worrying about power. As Tesco points out on its website, if you need wi-fi on the Chromebook, you can use the Samsung A16 to create a hotspot, making them excellent partners. So basically, you've got a single, simple way to get a phone and a laptop on one bill. The bundle comes with a standard 24-month manufacturer's warranty from Samsung in the UK. Honestly, for anyone heading off to studies in the near future, this deal's a no-brainer. Earlier this week, tech writer Tom Tyers spotted a .

In some cases, a 'Food Alert for Action' is issued. This provides local authorities with details of specific actions to be taken on behalf of consumers.
