Tesco customers can avoid losing their Clubcard vouchers through a simple hack, according to Martin Lewis' Money Saving Expert. More than two million Tesco customers have been reminded to spend more than £16 million worth of Clubcard vouchers before they expire at the end of February.
The Liverpool Echo reports that vouchers first issued in February 2021 will expire on February 28, at a time when many people are struggling with their budgets. Tesco Loyalty Director Tash Whitmey said: “We want to help customers’ household budgets stretch further right now and Clubcard is the best way to get great value with Tesco – from Clubcard Rewards to thousands of exclusive deals through Clubcard Prices.
"With more than £16m worth of Clubcard vouchers due to expire at the end of February, we’re reminding customers to spend them in what can be a tough time of year, as family budgets feel the new year strain.”
However, for those who don't want to cash in their vouchers yet, Money Saving Expert has revealed a way to avoid the February expiration date. It said: "While Clubcard vouchers are valid for two years, if yours are expiring but you don't want to use them yet, there's a crafty way you can extend the expiry date for another two years, but you must do so before 11.59pm on Tuesday, February 28."
The consumer experts shared that customers should make a small purchase on the Tesco Clubcard Rewards page. Following this, the remaining balance is credited back to your Clubcard account as points.
The points will be reissued as new vouchers with an expiry date up to two years in the future. Money Saving Expert recommended spending 50p using a £10 Clubcard voucher to get £9.50 back as new vouchers.
