Tesco shoppers told to act before May 31 as supermarket issues alert
Tesco sends out Clubcard vouchers every three months - in February, May, August and November - and they are valid for two years, which means a big batch are expiring soon Tesco has issued an urgent warning for shoppers to use their Clubcard points before they expire at the end of next month. Tesco sends out Clubcard vouchers every three months - in February, May, August and November - and they are valid for two years. This means the ones that are expiring on May 31, 2025, were first issued in May 2023. The supermarket has emailed a reminder to customers, saying: 'Your Clubcard vouchers are expiring soon. Don't forget to use them on your next shop.' Tesco shoppers earn one Clubcard point for every £1 spent on groceries in stores and online, or one point for every two litres of fuel purchased at a Tesco petrol station. You also get one point for every £1 spent with Tesco Mobile or for every £1 spent using a Tesco Clubcard Pay+ debit card, and one point for every £4 spent on a Tesco credit card. You need a minimum of 150 points to get a Clubcard voucher, which will be worth £1.50 to spend at Tesco. But if you're not quite ready to use your vouchers yet, there is a trick to extend their life - and double their value - by using them with a Tesco "Reward Partner" such as Thorpe Park, Pizza Express and the RAC. It you make a small purchase on the Tesco Clubcard Rewards webpage, your remaining Clubcard voucher balance will then be credited back to you as points. These points will be turned into vouchers again when Tesco next issues you a Clubcard statement. You will need to do this for every voucher you have though - so it may not be worth it for smaller amounts. Tesco has around 20 million Clubcard members in the UK. It comes after the supermarket urged shoppers to update their Tesco app before March 31 as older versions now no longer work. In an email to customers, Tesco said: "To increase your data protection and online security, we're updating our Tesco app to a newer version. "After March 31, older versions of the app will no longer work. To keep shopping and enjoying all of your Clubcard benefits on your app, make sure you have the latest version before March 31. "This update won't affect anything you do on Thanks for shopping at Tesco." You can update your app by visiting the Apple App Store or Google Play. It comes after Tesco axed its 'Pay In-Store' feature, which allowed shoppers to pay and collect Clubcard points in one go by scanning a code. It means these two steps now need to be done separately. In the email sent in February, Tesco said: "To ensure we're able to keep bringing out the best value and convenience, we've taken the decision to remove the pay in-store feature, formally known as Tesco Pay+, from the Tesco app. "Between now and March 7, the pay in-store feature will be phased out and any linked card details will be removed, unless you're using them for GetGo, Whoosh, or home delivery shopping. "So next time you're in-store, you'll need to pay separately after scanning your Clubcard. You can still earn points and access Clubcard Prices by simply scanning your Clubcard or app at the till. Or you can add your Clubcard to your Apple or Google Wallets.'

Tesco warns customers of major Clubcard change they need to make before Monday
Major supermarket Tesco has urged customers to update their Clubcard app or risk losing access to the scheme's benefits. The retailer told millions of shoppers to install the latest version of the mobile app before 31 March to continue collecting points and accessing discounts. Older versions of the app will not work after this date, meaning customers will not be able to use their loyalty card across the UK's 3,000 stores. 'To increase your data protection and online security, we're updating our Tesco app to a newer version,' Tesco told app users. 'To keep shopping and enjoying all of your Clubcard benefits on your app, make sure you have the latest version before 31 March'. Many consumers use the app instead of carrying physical Clubcards, which have a points scheme allowing for savings on many products. Since the Clubcard was launched in 1995, the app has become an increasingly popular alternative to the physical card. The supermarket giant said the update would not affect its website, but told shoppers to use Apple's App Store or Google Play to get the latest version. Tesco said customers who were unable to claim Clubcard prices or points due to the app update to bring a receipt to a store within 14 days for a refund. In February, Tesco axed the app's much-loved feature which allowed customers to pay for their shopping in store, meaning shoppers will now always need to scan their Clubcard first before paying with a card or cash. An email sent to customers said: 'To ensure we're able to keep bringing out the best value and convenience, we've taken the decision to remove the pay in-store feature, formally known as Tesco Pay+, from the Tesco app. 'Between now and 7 March , the pay in-store feature will be phased out and any linked card details will be removed, unless you're using them for GetGo, Whoosh, or home delivery shopping,' Tesco said at the time. 'So next time you're in-store, you'll need to pay separately after scanning your Clubcard. You can still earn points and access Clubcard Prices by simply scanning your Clubcard or app at the till.'

Tesco to axe popular Clubcard feature next week
Tesco has announced it is axing one of its most popular Clubcard services despite many shoppers using it every day. The supermarket's Clubcard app has a raft of services, from checking how many points are in an account to seeing what deals are on offer. But from 7 March, shoppers will no longer be able to use the app to pay for their shopping in store. This is to keep offering customers 'the best value and convenience,' a Tesco spokesperson said. This means that shoppers will now always need to scan their Clubcard first before paying with a different payment method like card or cash. An email sent to customers said: 'To ensure we're able to keep bringing out the best value and convenience, we've taken the decision to remove the pay in-store feature, formally known as Tesco Pay+, from the Tesco app. 'Between now and March 7, the pay in-store feature will be phased out and any linked card details will be removed, unless you're using them for GetGo, Whoosh, or home delivery shopping. 'So next time you're in-store, you'll need to pay separately after scanning your Clubcard. You can still earn points and access Clubcard Prices by simply scanning your Clubcard or app at the till.' The email adds that the Tesco Clubcard can still be added to an Apple or Google wallet, which may be the easiest option for customers who had come to rely on the mobile app for payment. This would put all cards in the same place for a similar, but less streamlined experience. A Tesco spokesperson said: 'We regularly review the payment options available to our customers. "It's still quick easy to earn points on your shopping and fuel and enjoy Clubcard Prices offers by tapping your Clubcard in-store, scanning it via the Tesco App, or by adding it to your Apple or Google wallet.' The change comes after Tesco recently revealed it was launching a trial to offer personalised deals to Clubcard holders based on their most common purchases. And in a recent survey by Which?, the British grocery giant was named the UK's second-best supermarket on metrics like value, store appearance, and overall shopping experience. It was just narrowly beat out by M&S which, despite being on the pricier side of the list, was the only store to be officially verified by the consumer champion.

Tesco 'make difficult decision' as service for shoppers to be axed within days
Tesco has scrapped a feature from its app that allowed customers to pay for shopping and scan their Clubcard in just one step. Shoppers can currently use a feature within the Tesco app, called Pay in-store, which allows them to scan one QR code which enables them to pay for their shopping and collect Clubcard points all in one go. The supermarket giant has confirmed that this pay in-store feature will soon be phased out and shoppers must scan their Clubcard separately from their chosen payment method.

Shoppers must be registered with a and a Clubcard account to be able to pay in-store. It could also be used when using the "Scan as you shop" scanner in stores.
