Tesco has announced millions of pounds of unspent Clubcard vouchers need to be claimed before they expire in May. The supermarket says it has identified a whopping £17m worth and is urging customers to use them before it's too late.
The vouchers, due to expire in a few weeks' time, were originally issued in May 2020. If not redeemed, they will expire on 31 May 2022.
Chief customer officer at Tesco, Alessandra Bellini, said: "We know it's tough right now, so we want to show our customers how we can help them spend less and keep more in their pockets – whether to manage the rising cost of living or do something good for themselves and loved ones."

The supermarket is now alerting customers that they can use these vouchers, to get more for their money and to help them spend less at Tesco, reports BirminghamLive. Here's everything you need to know and most importantly, how to check your Clubcard account.
How do you check Clubcard points?
The supermarket has said it will contact shoppers if they have Clubcard vouchers due to expire. They will do this via email, providing they have the correct contact details. Customers can also check their Clubcard voucher balance and expiry dates through the Tesco website or app. Just log in to your account and check the points summary and vouchers section on the left-hand side.
Where can you spend Tesco Clubcard vouchers?
Tesco has around 19 million Clubcard members. The loyalty card lets members collect points on food, fuel, fashion and more when they spend in-store and online.
Clubcard vouchers can be spent in-store at Tesco, with each point being worth 1p, but they can also be tripled in worth if you choose to exchange them for a Rewards Partner voucher. Tesco's 100+ Clubcard Reward Partners include Pizza Express, Cineworld and Alton Towers. You can find a more comprehensive list on the website.
Clubcard Vouchers can also help with the cost of filling up the car at Tesco petrol stations. According to the supermarket, the vouchers expiring in May could fill up nearly 200,000 family cars.
