If you’ve been saving up your Tesco Clubcard points, now is the time to cash in.
Martin Lewis’s Money Saving Expert has shared a simple trick that can boost your Clubcard balance, and it’s a ‘no-brainer’.
Until the end of the month, Tesco is offering an extra 1,000 points (worth £10 when spent in Tesco) to anyone who swaps 500 Clubcard points (worth £5) for a Days Out Reward Partner code, which offer customers tickets to a range of UK attractions.
Tesco Clubcard already allows members to double the value of their points when they exchange them for a Reward Partner code — and now, you’ll get an extra 1,000 points, equivalent to £10, too.
This means, for just 500 points you’ll end up with the £10 Days Out code, plus the bonus 1,000 points.
Even if you’re not planning on going on your day out, it’s still worth it, as you don’t need to book or attend anything to get the bonus.
The code can get you £10 of partner vouchers to redeem against tickets for places including Blackpool Pleasure Beach, The London Eye, Chessington World of Adventures and more.
Then, if you’re really savvy, you could use the 1,000 bonus and exchange for another Rewards Partner voucher — this time, from any of the supermarket’s partners — which will then be doubled to the value of £20, as per Tesco’s regular policy.
This means that with just the 500 points (or £5) you started with, you’ve ended up with vouchers equivalent to £30.
The 1,000 bonus offer is only available until Tuesday July 29, and shoppers can expect to see the bonus hitting their Clubcard accounts by October 19.
The Days Out Reward Partner codes are valid for six months, so you can use them later in the year, while the Tesco Clubcard vouchers are valid for two years.
However, MSE has yet another clever trick to extend Clubcard vouchers.
If your Clubcard vouchers are due to run out and you don’t want to use them yet, you can simply spend a small amount, and the remaining balance is credited back to your Clubcard as points.
MSE confirms they’ll then be reissued as a new voucher with an expiry date of up to two years in the future. So, if you spend 50p from a £10 voucher, you’ll get £9.50 as new vouchers.
‘There’s no min spend, but the aim’s to shell out as little as possible,’ the website states. ‘A good option might be a 50p restaurant voucher (worth £1 at your chosen restaurant).’
