More than £13 million worth of unused Tesco Clubcard vouchers are set to expire at the end of this month, but here's a handy trick to extend them.
If your vouchers are due to run out, you'll need to use before 11.59pm tomorrow (30 November) or they'll expire and become useless, or you can use this trick to extend them. You earn a point for every pound you spend in Tesco with your Clubcard, so if you shop there regularly these can really add up.
Every point is then worth a penny in vouchers, which you receive every three months with your Clubcard statement to spend in store. But, these vouchers are only valid for two years, so if you're unsure when yours expire you can check the validity on the voucher itself (if you have it).

If you've lost your vouchers, or are unsure if you have any in the first place, you can check on the Tesco Clubcard site or app. To check on the website head to the Clubcard site, select 'My Clubcard' and then 'Vouchers'. You'll need to be registered for a Tesco.com account and must know your Clubcard number, which is printed on your Clubcard and Clubcard key fobs. You should then be able to see a table listing your available vouchers and their expiry dates.
If you have the app, just log in and head to the 'Vouchers' section. Once you've found your vouchers, you can spend them online using the code provided – or if you plan to spend them in store, you can print your vouchers or scan the barcode available on the app at the checkout.
While Clubcard vouchers are valid for two years, if yours are expiring but you don't want to use them yet, there is a way you can extend the expiry date for another two years, according to MoneySavingExpert.com. However, you need to do this before the deadline (11.59pm on Wednesday, November 30). Here's how it works:
-
Make a small purchase on the Tesco Clubcard Rewards page (not in store or on other Tesco pages) and the remaining balance is credited back to your Clubcard account as points.
-
They'll then be reissued as new vouchers (with an expiry date up to two years in the future) when you next get a batch. So if you spend 50p using a £10 Clubcard voucher, you'll get £9.50 back as new vouchers.
- There's no minimum spend, but the aim's to shell out as little as possible. A good option might be a 50p restaurant voucher (worth £1.50 at your chosen restaurant).
Note that you'll need to do this for each individual voucher though, so weigh up if it's actually worth it for smaller denominations. For example, if you've a £10 voucher it's probably worth it – if you've got a handful of £1 vouchers, maybe less so.
