Tesco Clubcard changes for customers with new deals on offer
The supermarket scheme has launched new deal giving three months of entry to some of the UK's top attractions including Alton Towers and Thorpe Park, plus new cinema offers. While you can no longer triple up points - this ended a while ago - you can double up the value of your vouchers by spending them at Tesco's Reward Partners, such as Zizzi, Thorpe Park and easyJet Holidays. For example, 100 points are usually worth £1 to spend at Tesco – but if you exchange your vouchers for codes to use with a Reward Partner, 100 points are worth £2. For £60 in Tesco Clubcard Vouchers members can now get a three months pass with Merlin Entertainments, with entry to Alton Towers Resort, the LEGOLAND® Windsor Resort, Chessington World of Adventures Resort, Thorpe Park, Cadbury World, SEA LIFE Aquariums and others across the UK. There's also a deal running this week, until Sunday June 8, where Tesco Clubcard members can pick up tickets for the latest movies at Cineworld for £4 – which means exchanging only £2 of Tesco Clubcard vouchers at double their value for each ticket. Up to four tickets can be purchased at the discounted rate with each booking, meaning that Clubcard holders can treat family or friends to the movies by using £8 worth of Tesco Clubcard Vouchers. Cineworld is also offering a special £6 medium drink and popcorn deal, or for £1 extra customers can upgrade that to large. Tesco Group Membership and Loyalty Director, Shama Wilson said: 'This is a big year for Tesco Clubcard as we mark 30 years of rewards for our Clubcard members. 'In 1995, the year Clubcard launched, some of the biggest movies included Toy Story, Batman Forever and GoldenEye, and thanks to this amazing deal with our Reward Partner Cineworld, Clubcard members can buy a ticket to watch some of today's biggest movies with just £2 worth of Clubcard Vouchers.' To take up the deals, go to the Clubcard Rewards section of the Tesco app or Clubcard website and buy through the link - the Merlin pass details are here and the cinema ones are here. To get the drink and popcorn deal, customers will need to show their Clubcard when buying refreshments at the cinema. How to check your Clubcard vouchers – and find ones you've lost Tesco Clubcard vouchers are valid for two years from the date they were issued. If you're unsure when yours expire or you've lost your paper vouchers, check on the Tesco Clubcard site or app - select 'Clubcard account' and then 'Vouchers'. You'll need your Clubcard number, which is printed on Clubcards and Clubcard key fobs. Martin Lewis has a trick to extend Clubcard vouchers' lifespan On his Money Saving Expert website, it says: "If your Clubcard vouchers are due to expire and you don't want to use them yet, you may be able to extend the expiry date by another two years. "Technically, under the Clubcard T&Cs, Tesco can refuse a Reward Partner order if it decides you're trying to game the system by redeeming vouchers just to extend their validity – but we tested the trick at Towers this month and it worked just fine." Recommended reading: It adds, buy something cheap on the Tesco Clubcard Rewards page or donate to one of its partner charities. The remaining balance is credited back to your Clubcard account as points. So if you spend 50p using a £10 Clubcard voucher, you'll get 950 points back (worth £9.50), and get the 50p item - or donate it. "You can then swap your points for vouchers manually or wait for them to be converted with your next statement," says the site. "The expiry date for these new vouchers will be two years in the future. "There's no minimum spend, but the aim's to shell out as little as possible. A good option might be a 50p restaurant voucher (worth £1 at your chosen restaurant). You'll need to do this for each individual voucher, so it's worth weighing up if it's actually worth it for smaller denominations. For example, if you've a £10 voucher it could be worth it. If you've got a handful of £1 vouchers, maybe less so."

Tesco reveals new Clubcard deal and you could bag £2 cinema tickets this half term
Check below to find out how to bag your discounted cinema tickets MOVIE NIGHT Tesco reveals new Clubcard deal and you could bag £2 cinema tickets this half term TESCO have revealed a new Clubcard deal giving shoppers the chance to bag £2 cinema tickets this half term. Clubcard members will be able to grab tickets to the latest blockbusters from May 27 to June 8. Advertisement 2 Clubcard members will be able to grab bargain movie tickets from May 27 to June 8 Credit: Alamy 2 Clubcard devotees will pay just £2 in Tesco Clubcard vouchers for tickets Credit: Getty For just £4—or £2 in Tesco Clubcard vouchers—movie fans can treat themselves this half-term, thanks to a new partnership between Tesco and Cineworld. Shoppers can buy up to four discounted tickets, making it cheap to enjoy the movies with family and friends. But the discounts don't stop there—Cineworld is also offering Clubcard holders a special £6 deal for a medium drink and popcorn, with the option to upgrade to a large for just £1 more. Shama Wilson, Tesco Group Membership and Loyalty Director, said: "This is a big year for Tesco Clubcard as we mark 30 years of rewards for our Clubcard members. Advertisement "In 1995, the year Clubcard launched, some of the biggest movies included Toy Story, Batman Forever and GoldenEye, and thanks to this amazing deal with our Reward Partner Cineworld, Clubcard members can buy a ticket to watch some of today's biggest movies with just £2 worth of Clubcard Vouchers." Tesco shoppers keen to grab the bargain cinema tickets must exchange a minimum of 50p in Clubcard vouchers through the app or website. Once completed members should head to the Cineworld site and buy tickets "not covered by their Clubcard Vouchers". To snap up the special drink and popcorn deal, movie-goers will need to show their Clubcard at the food counter. Advertisement Javier Sotomayor, Cineworld International President, said: "Tesco have always been a great partner for us at Cineworld Cinemas, and we look forward to extending this partnership further in celebrating Clubcard's incredible milestone. "We are excited to welcome customers to our cinemas and to feel more at Cineworld.' TOP TESCO BUYS How to get more from your clubcard The immensely popular Clubcard loyalty scheme is a simple way to slash the price of groceries. For every £1 spent customers earn a point. Advertisement Each pound is worth a penny, so if you collect 150 points you earn a £1.50 voucher. It doesn't sound like much but it adds up over time. But the real value comes when you use your vouchers with Tesco's Reward Partners, where the value can often double, meaning your £1.50 could be worth £3 depending on where you use it. Advertisement You can rack up extra points by shopping with Tesco's partnered brands too. Vauxhall, Evri, and OVO Energy are just a few examples. Customers who purchase a new Vauxhall car can earn a whopping 50,000 Clubcard points, while shoppers spending with Evri can earn one point for every £1 spent. Advertisement The full list of partners is available on Tesco's website, so it's worth having a look to see where you can get more bang for your buck. Once you convert your Clubcard vouchers into codes for use with a Reward Partner, those codes are valid for six months, so make sure to use them in time. Signing up for Clubcard is easy; you can register through the Tesco app, available on the Apple App Store or Google Play, or by heading to and ordering one directly. Advertisement For regular Tesco shoppers, upgrading to Clubcard Plus might be worth considering. It costs £7.99 a month but gives you 10% off two in-store shops of your choice each month. If your shop is £40 or more, the discount pays for itself — and you'll even save a bit more. You're not locked in either; the subscription can be paused or cancelled at any time if you're away or not planning to spend as much. Advertisement Another simple way to build your points faster is by opting into Tesco's marketing emails. While your inbox might get busier, these emails often include exclusive offers and bonus point deals tailored to your shopping habits and they can be a quick win when it comes to boosting your balance. As mentioned above, it's important to keep an eye on voucher expiry dates as the vouchers expire two years after being issued. But there's a handy trick that not everyone knows, if a voucher is about to expire, just spend a small amount of it and the remaining balance will be reissued with a fresh two-year expiry. Advertisement So if you've got a £10 voucher and use just 50p, the other £9.50 gets renewed. Finally, if you fancy earning a few extra points from the comfort of your home, you can sign up for Shopper Thoughts, a survey site that rewards you with Clubcard points for sharing your opinions. It's a quick and easy way to bag 150 points just by filling in a few questions. With a few simple tricks and a bit of attention, Tesco Clubcard can be a handy tool to save cash or unlock bigger rewards, just don't forget to use your vouchers before they expire. Advertisement

You get: One Clubcard point for every £1 spent in stores and online One point for every two litres of fuel bought from Tesco forecourts One point for every £1 spent on Tesco Mobile One point for every £4 spent on a Tesco credit card, and One point for every £1 spent using a Tesco Clubcard Pay+ debit card Once you have collected enough Clubcard points, you can then convert them into vouchers. The minimum number of points you need is 150 - which will give you a voucher of £1.50. Once you have converted your points to vouchers they last for two years. Tesco currently has over 100 Reward Partners including Disney+, Thorpe Park, Alton Towers, Pizza Express, Legoland, and Zizzi. To redeem your Clubcard points with partners, you have to turn them into vouchers, and then into Partner Reward codes.

Under the rules, you can't collect Clubcard points on tobacco or tobacco-related products, lottery, stamps, prescription medicines, infant formula milk, Tesco gift cards, third party gift cards, saving stamps, in-store concessions, Paypoint payments or purchases of some Tesco Bank products.

Nicole Kidman reveals major decision she regrets over her natural hair after viral wig fails
is owning up to her biggest beauty regret — just as buzz swirls around her ever-changing hairstyles and the use (and misuse) of wigs. The 57-year-old Aussie icon first turned heads with her stunning natural strawberry-blonde curls in hits like Dead Calm (1989) and Days of Thunder (1992), where she starred opposite her then-future husband Tom Cruise. Even as her career soared with roles in Practical Magic, Batman Forever, and Australia, she largely stuck to variations of her signature look — long, ginger-tinted waves with plenty of bounce. But recently, Kidman has stepped out in a series of dramatic wigged looks — ranging from sleek straight styles to blunt cuts, and one that became a viral misfire. At this year's Cannes Film Festival, fans noticed a rare misstep from the star when the mesh cap of her wig peeked through in red carpet photos — prompting chatter online. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The 57-year-old Aussie icon first turned heads with her stunning natural strawberry-blonde curls in hits like Dead Calm (1989) and Days of Thunder (1992, pictured), where she starred opposite her then-future husband Tom Cruise Despite defending her love of transformation — telling Channel Seven 's Sunrise this week that she enjoys 'changing [her] hair' and relies on hairpieces to do so — Kidman admits she regrets turning her back on her natural curls. 'Why did I straighten my hair?' she reflected in a new Allure interview, after being shown throwback photos from Days of Thunder. 'I loved my hair there. That is my natural hair. Isn't that crazy?' She added a heartfelt note to young fans: 'So for all the little girls out there — embrace the curl. Do not follow in my steps and straighten your hair.' But there's still hope for her signature ringlets. Though she rarely wears them in public these days, the Big Little Lies star says her curls can bounce back. 'I can do that to my hair still,' she shared, 'but it needs to be kind of humid, and I need to use the right product.' The Oscar-winning actress also got candid about the emotional reality of aging. When asked whether growing older has been difficult, Kidman didn't hold back. 'Yes,' she admitted. 'I've always been a future person, and suddenly you go, "Oh." It's about coming to terms with the fact that you have no control over what lies ahead.' She went on to explain that the shift in perspective stems in part from personal loss, as her mother recently passed. 'Probably that's to do with losing people very, very suddenly. I now have more time behind me than ahead,' she said. 'That shift in the ratio becomes a big thing.' Reflecting on life's bigger questions, she added: 'You're just always going, "What is all this?" The existential questions. Who are we? Why are we here?' Kidman is set to mark her 58th birthday on June 20. Nicole then opened up about the profound grief she's experienced since the passing of her mother, Janelle, in September of last year. 'Losing my mother changed every part of me,' she told the outlet, sharing that the two had spoken several times a week. 'It still feels so raw,' she added, describing herself as being 'on the journey of grief — the year of magical thinking.' That loss has taken on even deeper meaning as Kidman navigates motherhood herself. She shares daughters Sunday, 16, and Faith, 14, with husband Keith Urban. She's also a mother to Bella, 32, and Connor, 30, whom she adopted during her previous marriage to Cruise. 'Being a daughter and a mother — you start to see the circle of life in such a visceral way,' she reflected. 'Grief doesn't end. It evolves.'

Movies to see this week: 'Batman Forever,' 'Ghost Dog,' 'Mermaids'
It's hot enough that movie theater air conditioning is again appealing, if the greatness of Sinners or the below repertory screenings isn't enough. Here's what you can catch at Twin Cities area theaters this week. Thursday, May 15, at Emagine Willow Creek The third entry in a run of four '90s-ish Batman movies, Batman Forever has gotten a lot of flak for its absurdity. Decades later, it deserves a little love. It was deeply over-the-top, leaning into its comic book source material in ways that the Tim Burton-directed movies didn't. The late Val Kilmer's Batman was not a gritty version of the hero. Instead, he plays Bruce Wayne as the straight man to the hammy antics of Tommy Lee Jones' Two-Face and Jim Carrey's Riddler. Enjoy it for the camp, delightful sets, and producing one of Hollywood's best behind-the-scenes stories. 9900 Shelard Pkwy., Plymouth ($11.60) Friday, May 16–Sunday, May 18, at The Trylon Cinema One of the delights — I'd argue there are many — of watching Jim Jarmusch movies is that they're usually recognizable as one of his despite his tendency to jump between genres. They're uniformly packed with patient cinematography, idiosyncratic dialogue, and a reverence for film history, whether he's making a western (Dead Man), zombie movie (The Dead Don't Die), vampire movie (Only Lovers Left Alive), or following an assassin (The Limits of Control). Ghost Dog is one of his most successful in that regard. It stars Forest Whitaker as an assassin who thinks of himself as a modern samurai, reading from the Hagakure and deeming himself a retainer of his mod employer. It mashes up conventions of mob and samurai movies. Though, like any of Jarmusch's films, it's more interested in small moments than big action sequences. 2820 E 33rd St., Minneapolis ($8) Friday, May 16—Thursday, May 22, at The Main Cinema This one might not quite fit into how we're typically listing repertory fare, but we're rolling with it since Swamp Dogg Gets His Pool Painted has played in town during Sound Unseen and MSPIFF, where it won an audience award. The week-long run at The Main Cinema includes an MN Made screening on May 15 that will have local directors Isaac Gale and Ryan Olson in attendance. (You may recognize their names as MN-based musicians in bands such as Marijuana Death Squads and Poliça.) The documentary focuses on the titular musician, often described as a cult R&B musician since the '70s, and his tumultuous history, unique home with Moogstar and Guitar Shorty, and, of course, his musical legacy. 115 SE Main St., Minneapolis ($13) Monday, May 19, at Alamo Drafthouse Mermaids is a tender family drama that gets into the subtleties of family dynamics. There's no saccharine finale, but the complex, messy reality of family. Cher stars as Mrs. Flax, a mother of two who moves from city to city, dragging her kids, played by Winona Ryder and Christina Ricci, through her ordeals and discarding their struggles in favor of her own. Bob Hoskins plays Cher's flawed and charming suitor. 9060 Hudson Rd., Woodbury ($15.18) Times and theaters vary (see below) It's a big week for fans of L. Frank Baum's Oz. The Wizard of Oz (1939) is playing at a few Emagine theaters. Emagine White Bear is also bringing Wicked (2024) back to the big screen. (It's currently streaming on Peacock, too.) Then, The Wiz (1978) is playing on Sunday and Tuesday at AMC's Rosedale and Southdale outposts, as well as Emagine Eagan, Oakdale Cinema, and West End movies screening this week: May 14: The Wizard of Oz (1939) at Emagine Eagan, Emagine Lakeville, and Emagine White Bear (Wicked is also playing) May 14: Fight Club (1999) at The Parkway Theater May 14: Before Sunrise (1995) at Edina Mann Theatres May 14: Kingdom of Heaven (2005) director's cut at AMC Eden Prairie, AMC Rosedale, AMC Southdale, Emagine Eagan, and Oakdale Cinema May 14: We Are Fugazi From Washington D.C.
