Tesco shoppers hit with major Clubcard change today - how it affects you

Tesco shoppers have been hit with a huge Clubcard change today.

The Clubcard app - which let you scan a digital version of your Clubcard, as well as view and spend your points - is no longer available to use.

Its closure comes after Tesco got rid of the Pay+ app on February 27.

The Pay+ app allowed supermarket shoppers to store their payment card and Clubcard details into a single barcode to speed up payments in stores.

To avoid missing out on points, customers should download the revamped Clubcard & Grocery app, which has essentially combined both features of the other apps.

This means you can use it to pay and collect Clubcard points, as well as view your balance, spend any vouchers you've earned, order a grocery delivery and check stock in your local store.

The Grocery & Clubcard app, which was previously called the Tesco Grocery app, is available to download for free on Android and iPhone.

Of course, shoppers can also continue to use their physical Clubcards in stores as normal.

When shoppers collect Clubcard points, they can be converted into Tesco vouchers to use in the supermarket, with each point worth 1p in-store.

This means 150 points are worth £1.50 to spend in stores.

A spokesperson for Tesco 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."

This isn't the only change Tesco is introducing to its Clubcard scheme over the next few weeks.

Tesco shoppers will get less money for their Clubcard points when redeemed with a "Rewards Partner" from June 14.

Shoppers will only to double the value of their Clubcard points, rather than triple them as they currently do.

For example, if you have 500 points, this would normally be worth £5 to spend in Tesco stores - but use them with a "Rewards Partner" and they'd be worth £15.

But after June 14, they'll only be worth double their original value, so £10 for 500 points.

Tesco currently has over 100 "Rewards Partners" including brands like Pizza Express, Legoland, Alton Towers, Cineworld and Hotels.com.

The supermarket is also changing the amount of points you can get when you will up your car at its forecourts.

Currently, drivers get one point for every £2 they spend on fuel - but from June 14, you'll get one point for every two litres of fuel you buy.
