There are big changes on the way for Tesco shoppers with a Clubcard as the supermarket plans to shut down two of its apps this year. The supermarket giant has announced the change to its Clubcard system with the first set to happen at the end of this month.
According to the Mirror, Tesco is closing its Pay+ app on February 27. The supermarket's separate Clubcard app will also shut later this year, but a date is yet to be confirmed.
A spokesperson said: "Bringing the functionality of Tesco Pay+ into the Tesco Grocery & Clubcard app is a demonstration of our focus on providing products which closely align to the needs of Tesco shoppers."

Both of these Tesco apps provide shoppers who do not have a physical card with digital version of one. However, Tesco shoppers are now being encouraged to download the Tesco Grocery and Clubcard app, which is free to download on Android and iPhone, and combines the features of the apps that are closing.
It comes after Tesco announced it will give store workers a seven per cent pay rise, in what will be the third increase in 10 months. The supermarket reached an agreement with the Union of Shop, Distributive and Allied Workers (USDAW) and will increase the hourly pay rate by 72p.
This will take the hourly wage of a store worker from £10.30 to £11.02 and staff see the pay rise from April 2. Tesco said the increase in hourly pay will represent an investment of more than £230million.
As part of the pay deal with the Usdaw, Tesco will also increase its “additional skills payment” for shift leaders by an extra 40p to £2.26. This will bring their hourly wage up to £13.28.
