Martin Lewis money news — Tesco Clubcard holders issued urgent warning as triple points deadline approaches tonight

Tesco Clubcard changes

Tesco Clubcard customers can use their points at a number of the supermarket’s reward partners including Pizza Express, English Heritage and Disney+.

As it stands, the points are worth triple their normal value – £1.50 worth of points increases in value to £4.50.

But from June 16, 2023, this is changing to double – so £1.50 worth of points will be worth £3.

This week, Tesco customers were left furious after the supermarket giant suffered major tech issues as shoppers rushed to convert their remaining points with reward partners.

On June 13, the retailer announced it was extending the deadline to redeem the points until June 16 instead of the original June 14 cut-off date.

How does Tesco’s Clubcard work?

Through the Tesco Clubcard, customers earn points when shopping which can then be turned into vouchers for money off food or other partner schemes.

You get one point for every £1 spent in store and online and after scanning your app or card.

Until tomorrow, you also get one point for every £2 spent on fuel.

Every point you accrue is worth 1p, so 150 points gets you £1.50, at which points you can request a voucher.

You can then use these vouchers for money off your next shop or at one of Tesco’s reward partners.

The way you redeem your points with partners varies depending on which one you are redeeming with.

For example, you can use £12 worth of points to get a three-month LES MILLS+ membership worth £36.

You just have to go on the Tesco website, add the bundle to your basket and then look out for a confirmation email.

A second email containing your Reward Partner code will arrive shortly after which you can then use to activate your three or 12-month membership.

Plans to overhaul buy one get one free deals could be SCRAPPED

A nanny state ban on “buy one get one free” deals could be junked following an onslaught of criticism. 

Multi-buy offers for unhealthy food and drinks are set to be prohibited from October under a long-planned government obesity crackdown.

Are you eligible for benefits?

A number of charities have benefits calculators that you can use to work out if you are entitled to any extra help.

This includes:

• Turn2Us

It’s worth looking into, as if you do qualify, it could make you eligible for the £900 cost of living payment too.
