Tesco introduces huge Clubcard perk in car parks but there's a catch
Supermarket giant Tesco has just dropped a generous perk for customers using the store's car parks, but not every single shopper will be able to benefit from the incentive Tesco has unveiled a lucrative perk for customers using their car parks - but not every driver will see the benefit. The supermarket giant has confirmed that starting last week (June 4), shoppers will be able to collect Tesco Clubcard points when they charge their electric car on their store's grounds. Customers topping up their EV will earn one Clubcard point for every pound spent on charging at Pod's Vauxhall-branded charges at Tesco stores up and down the nation. Drivers can also get a whopping 2,500 Clubcard points if they sign up for Pod's home charging subscription, Pod Drive, as a new customer. This is worth £25 when converted into Clubcard Vouchers to spend at Tesco, or can be doubled to £50 if used with the supermarket's Clubcard Reward Partners - including easyJet holidays, Disney+, and English Heritage. To access the deal, Tesco shoppers will need to be registered for its Clubcard scheme, which is free to join. You can sign up for the initiative online here - and will get exclusive Clubcard Prices online and in-store straight away. To earn the 2,500-point boost - customers will have to start their order via Pod's website. As part of the sign-up process, you will be asked to sign into your Tesco Clubcard account to link your order. The bonus points will then be credited once your home charger has successfully been installed.

"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," hailed Tesco's Sharma Wilson. "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 also welcomes the incentive, stating the company was 'thrilled' to deepen its partnership with the supermarket. "We know thatthe 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," she added. *Tesco's offer is only valid at Pod Point chargers at Tesco stores - and points will be awarded within seven days of your bulled charging session. You can find your nearest charging bay here.

Tesco makes major change to Clubcards… and it's a huge win for millions of drivers
See how you can benefit from Tesco's major change TESCO TWEAK Tesco makes major change to Clubcards… and it's a huge win for millions of drivers TESCO has announced a major Clubcard change — a big win for millions of drivers. Electric car owners can now earn loyalty points when charging their vehicles at the popular supermarket chain from today. Advertisement 2 Tesco Clubcard members can now earn loyalty points when charging their EVs Credit: Getty 2 Shoppers will now earn one point for every £1 spent charging at Pod Point's Credit: Getty Clubcard members will now earn one point for every £1 spent charging at Pod Point's Vauxhall-branded chargers at Tesco stores. Tesco says the move is part of its latest partnership with tech provider Pod Point. EV drivers could also bag a whopping 2,500 Clubcard points by subscribing to Pod Point's all-inclusive home charging plan. Charging bays are available at over 600 Tesco car parks across the UK. Advertisement Shama Wilson, Tesco's group membership and loyalty director, said: "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." "We're thrilled to deepen our long-standing partnership with Tesco and provide an incentive for Clubcard members to make the switch to an EV and join over a quarter of a million customers that trust Pod with their changing needs," Pod CEO Melanie Lane added. It comes after the supermarket giant revealed that it had hit 500,000 charges – providing more than 10 million miles of complimentary carbon neutral motoring. Tesco, in partnership with Volkswagen and Pod Point, is installing free charging points at 600 supermarkets around the UK as part of their commitment to improving electric car charging infrastructure. Advertisement The partnership has now provided its 500,000th free top-up – and during this period three million kWh of free, carbon neutral electricity has been given out. This is enough power to drive a new all-electric Volkswagen ID.4 SUV around 10.4 million miles. You can now charge your electric car for FREE at Tesco with Volkswagen and Pod Point Based on the average new petrol or diesel car sold in the UK, the scheme has reduced carbon emissions by approximately 2,120 tonnes - the same as more than 2,770 acres of forest will manage in a year. The announcement was welcomed by Transport Secretary and EV owner Grant Shapps, who said: 'As we accelerate towards a cleaner and greener transport future, it's great to see one of Britain's most iconic household names leading the way with electric vehicle chargepoints. Advertisement 'In the time it takes to pick up the groceries, drivers up and down the country can now quickly and easily charge their cars and with £2.5bn of government support to encourage their take-up, there has never been a better time to switch to an EV.' The Tesco Extra in Slough has been the busiest supermarket for free charging - with the sockets used more than 10,000 times. It finished ahead of Tesco supermarkets in Stourbridge, Crawley, Altrincham and Bromley by Bow in the top five. Making up the rest of the top 10 were the Tesco supermarkets in Watford, Orpington, Elmers End, Havant and Lichfield. Advertisement Director of Volkswagen, Andrew Savvas, said: 'Our partnership with Tesco and Pod Point emphasises our commitment to carbon neutral mobility for all and we're delighted to have reached this milestone - helping owners of all electric car brands top up with free renewable energy while they're doing their grocery shop.' Tony Hoggett, chief operating officer at Tesco, said: 'We are committed to reducing carbon emissions in all our operations and aim to be carbon neutral in the UK 2035. 'As part of this we want to encourage our customers to play their part with the rollout of free-to-use EV chargers to 600 of our stores. 'Providing customers with charging points offers them a sustainable choice and giving them the opportunity to charge their car for free while they shop is a little help to make this easier.'
