Tesco customers have been issued a warning over millions of expiring Clubcard vouchers.
The supermarket giant issues Clubcard vouchers in February, May, August and November.
All vouchers have a two-year lifespan before they expire.
Millions of customers have been contacted by Tesco to inform them that vouchers sent in August 2021 will expire next month, on August 31.
An email to customers said: “You have Clubcard vouchers that are about to expire.”
Every £1 spent in Tesco stores or online is worth one Clubcard point, with each Clubcard point essentially being worth 1p.
After you collect 150 Clubcard points you can exchange them for a £1.50 voucher or carry on saving points and collect vouchers at 50p intervals from there.
In the past you could also decide to triple the value of your Clubcard points by using them with a “Rewards Partner”, which include Pizza Express, Disney+, Hotels.com and more.
However, the system was changed in June, meaning shoppers are only able to double their points rather than triple them.
A Tesco spokesperson said: “Clubcard unlocks the best value from Tesco - from thousands of exclusive deals through Clubcard Prices, to money off your groceries and fuel, or accessing double the value of your vouchers with more than 100 Clubcard Reward Partners.
"Millions of people tap their Tesco Clubcard every time they shop, benefiting from access to more than 8,000 weekly deals on Clubcard Prices.
"And with potential savings of up to £351 a year, more people than ever before are making the most of the immediate value that Tesco Clubcard offers.
"We are making a change to how members can use their vouchers with our Reward Partners, but they will still be able to unlock great value in the same range of ways as before."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
