The supermarket giant has sent out emails to customers, urging them to use their vouchers before they vanish for good.

In the message, Tesco said: “Your Clubcard vouchers are expiring soon.
“Don’t forget to use them on your next shop.”
Customers were reminded that unused vouchers will disappear after May 31, meaning shoppers could be missing out on big savings.
It means shoppers have just shy of four weeks to claim their share of rewards.
Tesco added: “Lost track of where they are? Don’t worry, you can find your vouchers in the Tesco app. If you’re shopping in-store, just scan them at the till from your phone.
“Or if you’re shopping online, your vouchers will be in the coupon and voucher section at the checkout.”
The alert came from Tesco’s Customer Engagement Centre and she urged customers to act fast before it’s too late.
Tesco Clubcard vouchers are only valid for two years from the date they were issued.
Customers can use the Clubcard vouchers, which were first issued in May 2023 and will expire at the end of this month, to lower the cost of their weekly shop.
To check what you have left, you can go online to the Tesco Clubcard website, head to ‘Clubcard account’ and then click ‘Vouchers’.
You’ll need to be registered for a Tesco.com account and have your Clubcard number handy, it’s printed on your card or key fob.
Alternatively, open the Tesco app, go to the Clubcard tab, then click on ‘Vouchers’ to see what you’ve got.
Don’t let those savings go to waste, check your vouchers now before they’re gone for good.
Shoppers can also pay for fuel or pick up a new deal with Tesco Mobile.
Tesco Clubcard is a free loyalty program that allows members to earn points for money off shopping at Tesco.
How to get more from your Clubcard
Tesco’s Clubcard loyalty scheme is a simple way for shoppers to earn rewards every time they spend.
For every £1 spent in-store or online, customers earn one Clubcard point.
Once you collect 150 points, Tesco sends you a voucher worth £1.50, which can be used to get money off your shopping, both in-store and online.
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.
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.
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 Tesco.com and ordering one directly.
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.
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.
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 to 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.
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.
