The bonus points are part of Tesco's popular "Clubcard Challenges" game, which allows eligible customers to collect extra points by completing 20 personalised challenges.
Shoppers have received invitations through emails or banners on their Clubcard app to participate in the scheme, with the chance to earn extra points based on their shopping habits.
The offer is tailored to individual needs, and for some, the challenges align perfectly with their typical shopping list.
However, not all customers are finding the rewards worth their time.
One shopper shared on Facebook: "I got the last one and earned £33 in points, but don't seem to have it this time."
Another commented: "I managed to get £32 in the one that just finished."
Many users expressed excitement, saying that the past challenges have earned them significant amounts, with some having already accumulated over £250 towards their Christmas shopping.
However, the scheme hasn't been without its critics.
Some customers have taken to social media to complain that the challenges often don't match their regular shopping habits.
One user wrote: "Most of the items are things I never buy.
Tesco shoppers rave about 'bloomin' amazing' bargain that can keep you warm this winter without turning the heating on
"I thought the challenges were supposed to be based on what I usually purchase."
The issue appears to be a common frustration.
Another customer also said: "I just looked at mine, and all the challenges are for products I don't normally buy.
"It's pointless for me."
This concern is shared by many, who feel that the system should be more accurately tailored to their shopping history, making it easier to collect points on purchases they were already planning to make.
Without the right match between challenges and regular shopping habits, the scheme can feel like a wasted effort.
Despite these complaints, many shoppers have embraced the scheme, seeing it as a simple way to stack up points on everyday purchases.
For those keen to maximize their rewards, there are other ways to earn points, such as through partnerships with Ovo Energy, Vauxhall, and Inkjet Recycling.
How does Tesco's Clubcard work?
Tesco's Clubcard scheme allows shoppers to earn points as they shop, these points can then be turned into vouchers for money off food or other reward partner schemes.
When you spend £1 in-store or online, you get one point when you scan your card or app at the checkout.
Drivers using Clubcards now get one point for every two litres spent on fuel.
You can also double their worth when you swap them for discounts with "reward partners".
For example, you can turn your vouchers into a 3 month Disney+ Standard With Ads subscription.
To do this, select £7.50 of Clubcard vouchers to get a 3 month Standard With Ads Disney+ subscription.
Tesco shoppers can also get Clubcard prices when they have the loyalty card.
While the bonuses and discounts are appealing, consumer groups have advised caution.
Such schemes, though tempting, can encourage shoppers to overspend in pursuit of rewards.
Experts warn that it's important for customers to be mindful of their spending habits and not let the lure of extra points push them beyond their budget.
