Tesco shoppers have less than a week to earn 1,000 'bonus' Clubcard points
Tesco shoppers can earn even more Clubcard points with one neat trick. However, they have less than one week left to ensure they don't miss out.
Those who are signed up to the supermarket's popular loyalty scheme can earn points on their shopping, with a voucher worth £5 being made up of 500 Clubcard points.
These vouchers can then be used to save money on any future shops both in store and online, or they can be doubled in value when redeemed against one of the retailer's Rewards Partners.
However, Tesco is now offering its customers an extra 1,000 'bonus' points, worth £10 of vouchers, when they choose to spend their vouchers with one of their 'Days Out' partner companies.
This means that families can earn the extra points and book a fun trip at a range of popular places such as Blackpool Pleasure Beach, The London Eye, Chessington World of Adventures, and more.
It is worth noting that the incentive will only be available until Tuesday, July 29, with the extra 1,000 points being credited to the eligible Clubcard account by Sunday, October 19.
To qualify for the extra £10 worth of points, members will need to exchange a minimum voucher worth £5 for a Days Out Clubcard Rewards Partner code either through the Tesco website or app.
Shoppers don't even need to redeem their extra points on a day out, as one Martin Lewis Money Saving Expert has advised that bargain hunters don't need to book a day out to reap the benefits.
In the latest edition of the MSE newsletter, a financial expert has explained that, once the extra 1,000 points are transferred to the Clubcard account on October 19, they can be used to get £10 off a food shop.
They can also be used to get £20 off with any of the supermarket's Rewards Partners, just not the 'Days Out' partners. This means they can still be redeemed against the likes of Disney+, RAC, Virgin Atlantic and much more.
As is the case with all Clubcard vouchers issued, they will be valid for two years from the date they were issued.
However, shoppers looking to save them up can extend them when they make a small purchase on the Tesco Clubcard website, with the remaining balance being credited back as points.
These will then be reissued as new vouchers when a new batch is issued after the two year expiry date, For example, a 50p purchase on a £10 voucher will then be reissued as £9.50.

Tesco's Clubcard scheme currently allows for its members to earn one point for every £1 spent in store and online, or for every £2 spent on fuel at one of its forecourt. A minimum of 150 points is needed to earn a voucher worth £1.50.
First launched in 1995, the largest UK supermarket's point-based scheme is now said to be used by 20million households across the country.

Householders warned not to use washing machine at this time of day for one key reason
Householders are being advised not to use appliances at certain times of the day. Householders are being warned of an energy-saving hack over fears it could cause a fire in their homes overnight. Experts are urging cash-strapped households not to run powerful household appliances overnight in a bid to save money, as the risk of fire could far outweigh the financial benefit. Last month, Ofgem confirmed the price cap - from the start of July to the end of September - will fall from £1,849 to £1,720, a saving of £129 over the year. Despite the the drop, energy bills this July are still 10 per cent higher than they were at this time last year. According to energy experts at Grant Store, using appliances like washing machines, tumble dryers, and dishwashers while you sleep could leave you vulnerable to devastating fires, especially when no one is awake to respond quickly to a fault. Some households on off-peak energy tariffs may be tempted to run these high-powered devices during the night, when electricity prices are lower. But experts say this growing trend, often referred to as an 'energy bill hack,' comes with serious risks. The expert said, 'While off-peak tariffs can help reduce your energy bills, running large appliances like washing machines and dryers at night is not worth the potential danger.

'These machines generate heat, rely on motors, and draw significant power. If something goes wrong and no one is awake to catch it, the consequences can be catastrophic.' Instead, Grant Store's specialists recommend only running such appliances when someone is home and alert. That way, if a malfunction does occur, it can be dealt with quickly before it escalates. They added: "We understand why people want to take advantage of cheaper overnight tariffs, especially during a cost-of-living crisis, but safety must come first. A house fire caused by a faulty appliance isn't worth a few pounds of savings." As a safer solution, the experts recommend home battery systems, which allow you to store cheaper electricity overnight and use it during the day when you're awake, and appliances can be monitored. Home batteries typically store between 5kWh and 15kWh of energy, depending on the system. That means they can power multiple wash cycles, depending on the efficiency of the machine and cycle length. A standard washing machine, for example, can use around 2.1kWh per cycle. When using a tumble-dryer, experts previously suggested switching loads while the dryer is still warm from its previous cycle, as this can conserve the remaining heat inside the dryer for your next load of clothes. This can help shorten drying time, as the machine won't need to work as hard to dry your clothes.

'Harsh' DWP Universal Credit crackdown as claimants wake up to payments missing
The DWP has been accused of 'harsh' treatment as new figures show that one in three recipients of Universal Credit have had their benefits docked in the past two years Universal Credit claimants are reeling from a £60 cut in their payments, as the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) faces backlash for its "harsh treatment" and aggressive debt recovery tactics. The Money and Mental Health Policy Institute, established by telly favourite Martin Lewis, has criticised the DWP's policy of reclaiming 15% from monthly Universal Credit payouts when overpayments occur. For those aged 25 and above, this clawback can mean a hefty £60 gone each month – a serious hit amidst the cost of living squeeze. Claimants are blindsided with scant notice, receiving only a brief letter and online message that reads: "You have been paid more Universal Credit than you are entitled to. This will now be taken back." Mr Lewis' charity has highlighted the DWP's lack of clear communication regarding repayment negotiations. One distressed claimant shared their ordeal: "Having money deducted from my benefits has made it difficult for me to make ends meet and some days I have been not eating because I can't afford to, which is leaving my mental health in tatters." Helen Undy, head honcho at the Money and Mental Health Policy Institute, drew parallels between this issue and the notorious Carers' Allowance debacle, slamming the Government's approach to benefit overpayment. She stressed: "You have been paid more Universal Credit than you are entitled to. This will now be taken back. Having money deducted from my benefits has made it difficult for me to make ends meet and some days I have been not eating because I can't afford to, which is leaving my mental health in tatters." "The Government's harsh treatment of people who've been overpaid benefits is reminiscent of the Carers' Allowance scandal," she added. The issue of Universal Credit overpayments has come under scrutiny, with many recipients finding themselves unfairly penalised due to errors not of their making. One expert highlighted the harsh reality for those affected: "When people are paid more in Universal Credit than they are entitled to, it's often through no fault of their own, and sometimes the first they know of it is when the government takes sudden and brutal steps to claw those payments back." The financial strain on individuals is palpable, as they explained: "Many people we work with are already running out of money for food before the end of the month, suddenly taking £60 from what they have left plunges them into further financial hardship and needless distress." Calls for reform are growing louder, with a push for fairer treatment in debt recovery: "The Government has pledged to overhaul how it reclaims Carers' Allowance, now it needs to do the same for how it collects Universal Credit overpayments. Above all, that means proactively giving people a real chance to negotiate a payment plan that they can actually afford, instead of just taking money out of people's income with barely any warning." There's also a demand for consistency in debt collection practices across the board: "We'd also like to see better standards applied across all government debt collection. It cannot be right that the state is lagging far behind the standards that consumer creditors have to meet in treating people fairly and with respect if they fall behind on payments." In response, a DWP spokesperson assured that the department is committed to helping those struggling with repayments by agreeing to affordable plans, reports Birmingham Live. They stated: "We have introduced a new Fair Repayment Rate, which caps debt repayments made in Universal Credit at 15%, allowing 1.2 million households to keep more of their Universal Credit." "When people are paid more in Universal Credit than they are entitled to, it's often through no fault of their own, and sometimes the first they know of it is when the government takes sudden and brutal steps to claw those payments back. Many people we work with are already running out of money for food before the end of the month, suddenly taking £60 from what they have left plunges them into further financial hardship and needless distress," it explained.

"We'd also like to see better standards applied across all government debt collection.

They concluded: "We have introduced a new Fair Repayment Rate, which caps debt repayments made in Universal Credit at 15%, allowing 1.2 million households to keep more of their Universal Credit. Our new Fraud Bill will help us to identify overpayments at the earliest stage so we can help prevent people falling into debt, and to do so in a way that is fair and proportionate."

Tesco knocks £96 off iPhone 15 for Clubcard members – now just £29.99 a month
ANYONE in the market for a new handset will want to check this one out. Tesco Mobile is offering the Apple iPhone 15 for just £29.99 a month, but only for Clubcard holders. I've been covering iPhone deals for a while now, and some of the best offers often come from the big supermarkets. Tesco's deal gets you the iPhone 15 for £29.99 a month, exclusively for Clubcard members. The plan includes 6GB of data, with the monthly SIM price dropped from £15 to £13.50, and the handset cost coming in at £16.49. It's a solid option if you want a high-quality iPhone but don't need the latest and greatest, and just want enough data to get through the month. Without a Clubcard, the price jumps to £31.49 a month, so you're saving £96 over the 36-month contract. Plus, Clubcard prices are frozen for the duration of your contract, which means no surprise hikes later on. If you're not already a member, signing up for a Clubcard is free, and with the perks it unlocks, it's a no-brainer. If you need more data, Tesco's also offering the iPhone 15 with 50GB for £34.99 a month with a Clubcard. Even non-member prices are decent, and with Tesco Mobile axing sneaky mid-contract price hikes, it's one of the more shopper-friendly networks out there. This is a great price for the iPhone 15, which is still one of the best models Apple has put out in recent years. You get a 6.1-inch display and Apple's slick Dynamic Island feature, which replaced the old notch and brings the UI up to date. There's also a powerful 48MP main camera that captures plenty of detail, perfect for family snaps and everyday moments. But so you're not caught off guard, if you're used to charging with a Lightning cable, the iPhone 15 has moved to USB-C, now the standard across most devices. Tesco is also one of the mobile providers with no roaming charges, so it's a good choice for those planning summer holidays abroad. And if this deal isn't quite right, other standout offers are doing the rounds this month. Right now, you can get £418 worth of free tech with the Samsung Galaxy S24, with deals starting at £24.99 a month. Or if you're happy with your phone, Smarty's SIM-only deals are hard to beat, like 200GB of data for just £12 a month with double data included. If you're still undecided, check out our full roundup of the across all the major networks.
