Tesco Clubcard basics

Flash your free Clubcard in Tesco or add it to your online grocery account and you bag one point per one pound spent. You can also nab points in other ways, via partners such as Esso, and even without spending a penny – see ways to earn Clubcard points. Once you've amassed enough points, they'll be turned into vouchers.
How much are Clubcard vouchers worth?
What they're worth depends on what you want to use them for. Each point is worth 1p to spend in Tesco, so 500 points equal a £5 voucher to spend in store, but you can trade vouchers for up to 3x that value (ie, £5 becomes £15) in Reward Partner vouchers. It used to be up to 4x the value, but this dropped in 2018. Decent deals do still exist – see our new top picks below.
How do I access my vouchers?
Once you've earned over 150 points, there are two ways to collect your vouchers:
1. You can simply wait for your statement which comes every three months
When you earn over 150 points in that three-month period, Tesco will send them as Clubcard vouchers to use in store or online.
2. To save you waiting every three months you can use the 'Faster Vouchers' scheme instead to get them in 24 hours
The Faster Vouchers* scheme allows you to request vouchers for your entire points balance (rounded down to the nearest 50p). To get them, log in to the Clubcard app or your online account and say you'd like to turn your points into Faster Vouchers. They'll appear in your Clubcard account within 24 hours.
You can spend them in store, online or with Clubcard Reward Partners. To use in a store you can print Faster Vouchers at home or scan the voucher on your Clubcard app at the tills.
The vouchers will be valid for up to 21 months from the date you choose to turn your points into Faster Vouchers (less time than standard Clubcard vouchers, which don't expire for two years).
How can I get a Clubcard?
It's free to sign up to Clubcard (though there's an optional paid-for membership, with a few extra perks – see below). You can join online* and print off a temporary card to scan in stores, or download the app (available on Android and iOS), which lets you sign up and scan a digital version.
Is Clubcard Plus any good?
Tesco's Clubcard Plus subscription service launched in 2019. It costs £7.99/month and gives perks such as discounted shopping.
How to join Clubcard Plus
You can subscribe to the Clubcard Plus scheme via its Clubcard app (available on Android and iOS). You'll need to be signed up as a basic (free) Clubcard member already. If you're not already a Clubcard member, you can sign up online.
Clubcard Plus costs £7.99 a month (£95.88 a year), is a rolling one-month contract and there's no minimum subscription.
Changed your mind? How to cancel Clubcard Plus
Tesco says you don't need to give notice if you want to cancel your subscription. You can do this at any point, within the app.

Reclaim lost Tesco vouchers
Many people lose or forget to use their Tesco vouchers, but there's an easy way to claw back the last two years of unused vouchers (or 21 months if you use Faster Vouchers). Some report successes from even further back.
Here's how to check if you have any forgotten vouchers, plus a trick to extend 'em:
- Log in online. Go to the Tesco Clubcard* site (you'll need to be registered for a Tesco.com account). You'll need your email address, password and Clubcard number to access your account.
- Check for unspent vouchers. In your Clubcard account, click on 'my Clubcard account' and then 'vouchers' on the left-hand side and you should see a table listing the vouchers you still have to spend.
- Instantly print vouchers or use the codes online. If you want to spend vouchers online, you simply need to use the code listed, eg, beginning "A6TCD". To spend in store, print vouchers yourself to use instantly.

Just based on those who have reported it to us, MoneySavers have so far found over £30,000 in lost Tesco vouchers! That's worth up to £90,000 when converted into Clubcard Rewards vouchers – and the real total's likely to be much more...
Here are some MoneySavers who have shown it's worth the effort:
One call netted me £276 in unused vouchers! Thanks MSE!
Thanks to your article, we found that we had nearly £150 of unclaimed Tesco vouchers! We have already doubled the vouchers' value online, which has been incredibly useful for Christmas.
Thanks for the tip on checking unused vouchers – just found over £50 worth not used – don't know how that happened but am happy to spend them now!
Report how much you've found: How many Tesco vouchers have you reclaimed?


Clubcard vouchers are valid for two years (though some have been extended – see above), but there's a crafty way you can extend their expiry date for another two years – perfect if you're saving up for something big. Here's how it works:
- Make a small purchase on the Tesco Clubcard* site (not in store or on other Tesco websites) 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 on 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. A good option might be a 50p restaurant voucher* (worth £1.50 at your chosen restaurant).
Bear in mind 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.
Friends and family not online?
Just phone Tesco customer services on 0800 591 688, and its staff will check whether you have any vouchers to spend. If so, it'll cancel the lost vouchers and add the points on to your balance for your next statement, so you'll get them reissued.
How far back can I access unspent vouchers?
The online system will only show current vouchers. Tesco keeps Clubcard vouchers on your account for two years, so you can find and use any vouchers from up to two years ago.
Can I use vouchers online straightaway?
Your account details will show you the code needed to redeem rewards online, so you'll be able to use them straightaway.
Can I get a refund on Tesco Reward Partner vouchers?
No, Tesco's Reward Partner vouchers are non-refundable, even if they haven't been used. They're generally valid for six months from the date of issue, unless otherwise stated.
How to add to your points haul
There are lots of ways to nab extra points – some involve making everyday purchases, while with others you don't need to spend a penny.
Earn Clubcard points without spending
There are ways to add to your points stash without handing over cash. Always check the full terms and conditions though as most of these include giving your consent for Tesco to contact you about future promotions and offers.

- Complete surveys. Register to join Shopper Thoughts and if you qualify for the scheme you can collect points every time you complete the surveys you're emailed. They take between five and 20 minutes and the number of points varies by survey (you'll usually get 100 points for a 15-minute one). There are also prize draws to enter.
- Tell 'em about your shop. Collect 25 Clubcard points when you tell Tesco about your most recent visit. You need to keep hold of your receipt and use a code on there to take part at Tesco Views. The number of points you can collect is capped at 25 a month. Plus there's a £1,000 gift card monthly prize draw.
Earn Clubcard points with everyday spending
You accumulate Tesco Clubcard points* at a rate of one per £1 spent in store, but you can earn them in other ways too when spending either via partners or Tesco's other businesses.

As we explain above, you can simply convert points to Tesco vouchers to use at the store – eg, 500 points are usually worth £5. But spend them the right way and those 500 points could be worth £15. This is about exchanging Clubcard vouchers for codes to spend with Clubcard Reward Partners* on jewellery, travel, food, days out and more.
You can't use some top ongoing rewards right now – so you may want to hold on to your points
While a few rewards can be redeemed and enjoyed right now (eg, magazine subscriptions), many others aren't usable due to lockdown restrictions – including biggies such as restaurant vouchers and days out.
Clubcard points are valid for two years, but swap them for vouchers and they expire after 12 months (usually six but Tesco's extended it). So as long as your points aren't coming to the end of their validity, it's still best to wait as long as possible if you want to swap them for a reward that you currently can't use.
We've crunched the numbers and below is our list of top rewards and whether they're currently usable or not. You should always check you're getting a good exchange value before committing.

Warning. Due to coronavirus restrictions, Denby codes can currently only be redeemed online, not in store.
Every 50p in Clubcard vouchers gets you £1.50 to spend with the pottery manufacturer – so, for example, a £90 tableware set will cost £30 in Tesco vouchers.

Warning. While trains are still running during the current lockdown, you should follow local guidance and only travel where necessary. To max the length of your railcard, wait until you can travel to get one.
£1 in Clubcard vouchers becomes £3 to spend on an annual railcard.

Warning. Goldsmiths codes can't currently be used as they're only valid in stores, which are closed due to coronavirus.
Every £5 Clubcard voucher gets you £15 to spend at Goldsmiths – so, for example, a £600 ring would cost £200 in Tesco vouchers.
Not currently usable. Restaurant vouchers, eg, Pizza Express, Prezzo – 3x value, a fab deal if 2for1s aren't available

Warning. Many restaurants are shut due to the coronavirus lockdown, and Clubcard vouchers can only be used when dining in, ie, not takeaway or delivery. We've left the info below as you may want to save your vouchers for when you're able to use this reward again.
Every 50p gives £1.50 to spend at restaurants including Pizza Express, Prezzo and Zizzi.
Not currently usable. Days out including London Zoo and Longleat Safari – 3x value, good if no better deals on offer

Warning. Tesco's days out partners are shut due to the coronavirus lockdown. We've left the info below as you may want to save your Clubcard vouchers for when you're able to use this reward again.
Get £1.50 to spend on days out for 50p of Clubcard vouchers at more than 150 attractions.
Not currently usable. 3x value on Cineworld tickets – well worth it in pricey areas such as London

Warning. You can't currently swap vouchers for this, as all Cineworld locations are temporarily closed. We've left the info below as you may want to save your Clubcard vouchers for when you're able to use this reward again.
Swap 50p in vouchers for £1.50 towards a Cineworld* cinema ticket.
The pricing we've mentioned for Clubcard Reward Partners is based on companies' list prices. See Tesco's full list of Reward Partners*.
How to complain about Tesco
