The value of Tesco Clubcard points will be driven down further after the latest announcement from the retailer, this time affecting the number of points earned when you buy fuel.
From June 14, motorists will only collect one Clubcard point for every two litres of fuel they buy instead of the current one point for every £2 worth of fuel. The average cost of a litre of unleaded is currently 146.38p according to the RAC, which means that two litres cost roughly £2.92. So the changes announced will mean customers will only get about two thirds of the value of the points they currently get.
The downgrade comes just one week after Tesco, which is the UK's biggest supermarket chain, announced it is reducing the value of Clubcard vouchers spent with reward partners from the same date. Angry Tesco shoppers flooded social media to complain about the change, which means Clubcard vouchers will only be worth twice their value if exchanged at any of Tesco's Reward Partners, such as Hungry Horse pubs, Pizza Express, RAC breakdown cover and Legoland, instead of the current three times.
