£17million worth of vouchers are set to expire on May 31
In a direct message to customers, Tesco said: 'Your Clubcard vouchers are expiring soon. Don't forget to use them on your next shop.'
The supermarket giant is urging users to act fast, warning that once the deadline passes, expired vouchers cannot be reissued and many Brits could be sitting on tens or even hundreds of pounds in unused rewards.
Clubcard vouchers are only valid for two years from the date they're issued, so anything earned back in mid-2022 will now be on the chopping block.
But there's a little-known trick that can buy you another two years and all it takes is a quick tap at the till.
If a voucher is nearing its expiry date, you can simply spend a small amount, say 50p from a £10 voucher, and Tesco will reissue the remaining balance (£9.50) with a fresh two-year expiry date.
So instead of watching your points disappear into thin air, you can keep them going just by making a small spend in-store or online.
To find out what you've got left, simply log into your Tesco Clubcard account online or open the Tesco app and head to the 'Vouchers' section under the Clubcard tab.
If you're shopping in-store, you can scan them straight from your phone, or if you're buying online, they'll appear automatically at checkout.
Tesco's Customer Engagement Centre urged shoppers not to delay: 'Lost track of where they are? Don't worry, you can find your vouchers in the Tesco app.
"If you're shopping in-store, just scan them at the till from your phone.'
What is Tesco Clubcard?
Tesco Clubcard is the supermarket's free loyalty scheme, which allows customers to earn points every time they shop.
You get one point for every £1 spent, and when you reach 150 points, Tesco sends out a £1.50 voucher.
But the real value lies in Tesco's Reward Partner scheme, where vouchers can be worth double or even triple depending on where you use them.
This includes popular family attractions, restaurants, and even travel services.
For example, turning £10 of Clubcard vouchers into a £30 reward is possible when using partners like PizzaExpress, Legoland, or RAC breakdown cover.
Make the most out of your Clubcard
You can also rack up points faster through Tesco's partner brands with companies like Vauxhall, OVO Energy, and Evri offering extra points.
A new Vauxhall car could earn you up to 50,000 Clubcard points, while spending with Evri earns you one point per £1.
There's also an easy way to top up your balance without shopping.
Sign up to Shopper Thoughts, Tesco's survey platform, and you could bag 150 points just for sharing your opinions from home.
For regular Tesco customers, upgrading to Clubcard Plus might be a smart move.
It costs £7.99 a month, but gives you 10% off two in-store shops each month, which could quickly outweigh the monthly fee if you're spending over £40.
You can also unlock exclusive Clubcard Prices, saving shoppers an average of £351 per year, according to Tesco.
Just remember, once you convert your Clubcard vouchers into Reward Partner codes, those only last six months, so be sure to use them in time.
With May 31 looming, time is ticking.
Check your Tesco app or account now and if you spot an old voucher, don't bin it.
Use a few pence and give it a new lease of life.
After all, with a quick trick and a few taps, you could save a fortune on your next big shop or family day out.
