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

Insider tip from a Tesco employee A Tesco employee has revealed a surprising secret about the self-scan trolleys. According to the worker, random checks on customers using these trolleys are not entirely random. The checks are actually triggered by a specific customer habit. If you frequently pick up and put down items without scanning them, you're more likely to be selected for a check. This is due to the system detecting suspicious behaviour, which could indicate potential theft. So, to avoid delays, it's best to scan items immediately after placing them in your trolley.

How do I get Tesco Clubcard vouchers? Clubcard members can build up points when they shop at Tesco and there is a range of ways you can do this. 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. If you choose to use them for a Rewards Partner, you get double the value of your points, so 500 points would be worth £5 in-store but £10 when spent with a Rewards Partner. 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.

Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Odeon has confirmed that its Bracknell cinema location will close its doors for the last time at the end of May. Odeon released a statement to confirm the news, saying: 'Following talks with our landlord, we have come to a mutual agreement to close our Bracknell cinema at the end of May this year. "Supporting our local cinema team is our number one priority and we will be looking to secure jobs for as many of them as possible at our other cinema locations. Read more: Martin Lewis slams Winter Fuel Payment decision and says 'broken' "We would like to thank our guests for all their support over the years.' Cinema lovers shared their dismay over the news on social media, with one writing: "Such a shame. I always chose this cinema over the others because it was affordable and very nostalgic. I'm not surprised it's going, though. "The escalators have been out of use for such a long time, and it never seemed all that busy. Thanks for the memories, Odeon Bracknell!" Another added: "Terrible news. £5 cinema tickets for every film if you create an account, made cinema affordable and accessible to more families. Now, more than double the price with alternatives." Odeon isn't alone in closing locations in 2025, as Cineworld previously announced it is shutting the doors of several locations this year. Back in December, it confirmed that the Weymouth branch was set to close on 30th December. The chain also confirmed five other axed locations: Castleford Leigh Middlesbrough Northampton Poole Javier Sotomayor, president of Cineworld International, said: "The successful completion of our restructuring plan, achieved with the crucial support of our landlords, protects thousands of jobs across the UK and provides us with the financial stability to continue investing in delivering extraordinary experiences for our valued customers. "This milestone sets the stage for a brighter future, enabling Cineworld to continue sharing joy in communities across the UK for many years to come." Cineworld said it plans to invest around £35m across its locations, particularly in refurbishing existing cinemas after it improved its financial position by also securing additional funds, including £40m in liquidity.
