Tesco introduces way to collect Clubcard point at car parks
Those with an electric vehicle will now be able to get those all-important points just by making use of the store's Pod electric vehicle chargers. Points are collected for every pound spent at these Vauxhall-branded EV chargers at Tesco Extra and Tesco Superstore car parks across the country. However, points earned through this scheme may not come through right away, with these likely to appear within seven days of the purchase. According to The Metro, Shama Wilson, Tesco's group membership and loyalty director, said: "Our customers have long been able to collect points on fuel from Tesco, but with an increasing number of drivers switching to electric vehicles we are delighted that shoppers will now be able to collect Clubcard points when they charge their cars at our stores, thanks to our exciting partnership with Pod. "You can now park at your local Tesco and top-up your electric vehicle while you shop, in the knowledge that you are collecting Clubcard points towards a future Tesco shop or to exchange with one of our Reward Partners." There are around 2,600 charging bays at more than 600 Tesco stores in the UK. A post shared by Tesco (@tesco) Tesco Clubcard is one of the most popular loyalty schemes in the UK and allows customers to collect points (which can be turned into vouchers) and make savings when shopping. Discussing the scheme, Marketing Week said that it "revolutionised" the industry when it launched all the way back in 1995. Clubcards quickly became a major success, seeing millions of people across the country make use of them every single day. In 2024, Tesco Clubcard had over 22 million active members in the UK, representing over 80% of households. Around 12.7 million users were found to be making use of the app.

Tesco launches new way to earn Clubcard points at over 600 supermarket stores
Tesco first partnered with Pod back in 2019, and today, the firm operates more than 2,600 EV charging bays at more than 600 Tesco Extra and Superstore car parks across the UK Tesco has launched a brand new feature to its Clubcard loyalty scheme, which will give shoppers more chances to collect points. From today, shoppers with electric cars can now earn Clubcard points when they charge their them at Tesco. Shoppers earn one Clubcard point for every pound spent on charging at Pod's Vauxhall-branded chargers at supermarket stores. The Tesco Clubcard points earned during the charge are then credited into a shopper's Clubcard account within seven days of being billed for the session. Tesco first partnered with Pod back in 2019, and today, the firm operates more than 2,600 EV charging bays at more than 600 Tesco Extra and Superstore car parks across the UK. The charger points are made up of: 7kW fast chargers which cost 44p/kWh 22kW chargers which cost 49p/kWh 50kW rapids which cost 62p/kWh 75kW rapids which cost 69p/kWh You can find your local charging bay through Tesco's store locator tool on its website here. To celebrate the new offer, electric vehicle drivers can now also get 2,500 Clubcard points by signing up to Pod's all-inclusive home charging subscription, "Pod Drive" as a new customer. The 2,500 points are worth £25 when converted into Clubcard Vouchers to spend at Tesco, or £50 when doubled in value with more than 100 Clubcard Reward Partners. Customers can start their orders through the offer page on Pod Drive's website to access the Clubcard points deal. As part of the sign-up process, they will also need to sign into their Tesco Clubcard account to link their order, so that their Clubcard points can be credited once their home charger is successfully installed. Tesco's Group Membership and Loyalty Director Shama Wilson said: 'Our customers have long been able to collect points on fuel from Tesco, but with an increasing number of drivers switching to electric vehicles we are delighted that shoppers will now be able to collect Clubcard points when they charge their cars at our stores, thanks to our exciting partnership with Pod. 'You can now park at your local Tesco and top-up your electric vehicle while you shop, in the knowledge that you are collecting Clubcard points towards a future Tesco shop or to exchange with one of our Reward Partners.' Pod's CEO Melanie Lane added: 'We're thrilled to deepen our longstanding partnership with Tesco and provide an incentive for Clubcard members to make the switch to an EV and join over a quarter million customers that trust Pod with their charging needs. 'We know that the more that EVs blend with peoples' everyday routines, the more it makes sense to go electric, and with our unique partnership we're able to align drivers' charging experiences across both home and public charging points. 'Fresh from repositioning the business as Pod and launching Pod Drive, we're committed to building momentum and bringing our brilliant partners on our mission; to make EV charging easy and affordable for everyone.'

Simply follow the link and select one or more of the following topics to get all the latest deals and advice on: Travel; Property; Pets, family and home; Personal finance; Shopping and discounts; Utilities. How do I earn Clubcard points? 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.

Tesco introduces new car park perk for shoppers — but you'll need a Clubcard
Tesco is introducing a brand new way for shoppers to earn Clubcard points at its supermarkets, however, there's a bit of a catch. Customers who use the retailer's car park will be able to claim points while they do their shopping but only if they use the Pod electric vehicle chargers while they are in the store. So you have to have an electric vehicle in order to take advantage of this new offer. Those with electric vehicles can collect one Clubcard point for every pound they spend on Pod's Vauxhall-branded chargers at Tesco Extra and Tesco Superstore car parks. At present, Vauxhall operates roughly 2,600 EV charging bays at more than 600 Tesco car Parks across the UK. In London, there are 10 superstore locations with the bays, including Southwark, Kensington, Hammersmith, Bromley By Bow, Lewisham, South Tottenham and Finchley. It's worth noting, though, that points earned in this way may not appear immediately on your account as they will be awarded to Clubcards within seven days of the charging session. And Tesco urges shoppers to check signage at their local store for any parking charges or restrictions that might apply before they park, so they don't end up with a parking ticket.

'You can now park at your local Tesco and top-up your electric vehicle while you shop, in the knowledge that you are collecting Clubcard points towards a future Tesco shop or to exchange with one of our Reward Partners.' This comes after Tesco recently introduced a 'new rule' for bakery products, which allows people able to enjoy popular pastries for as little as 60p. In some of the retailer's supermarkets across the UK, customers have noticed signs going up which state that after 7pm loose bakery products will be reduced by 50% and this is thought to apply to everything except bread and gingerbread. More Trending This means that you'll be able to get many pastries for as little as 60p each as items like the All Butter Croissant, Almond Croissant, Chocolate Twist and Maple and Pecan Plait all cost £1.20 usually. When asked by Metro, a spokesperson for Tesco confirmed that 'generally' markdowns on bakery items occur around 7pm each day, but timings can vary depending on the store. Tesco added that the price cuts are made in a bid to prevent food waste and that the markdowns are popular with shoppers.

These results underscore the Pod's ability to enhance energy, recovery, and overall athletic performance through improved sleep quality. By partnering with 6 Love Sports, Eight Sleep connects with a premium audience of active, health-conscious, high-performing women—those who understand that every match won starts with a night of great sleep.
