Tesco shoppers are being urged to act now or risk missing out on money-saving vouchers. Consumer expert Martin Lewis told views on his ITV series people who shop at the supermarket could find they are losing out on their Clubcard vouchers as a deadline looms.
Speaking on the Martin Lewis Money Show he warned people who save their Clubcard vouchers that the deadline for using some comes at the end of this month. But he said there is a 50p trick which can lengthen their lifespan - but only if it is done by the end of November.
Tesco sends out its vouchers with statements in February, May, August, and November. They are each valid for two years - so any issued in November 2020 will run out on November 30, 2022.
But the money expert said if shoppers act quickly with expiring vouchers then they can get two more years to use them, reports Yorkshire Live. He said: "When you got them two years ago, they only last two years and there's a deadline and people still haven't used £13M of them.
"So check whether you've got them at Tesco.com/Clubcard or via its app. But here's the trick: if you've got them and you don't want to spend them now.
"Take your £10 voucher, go online and buy a 50p restaurant voucher on its rewards page, which is worth £1.50. Now, you will get reissued £9.50, the change, in vouchers and they are new vouchers so they have a two year lifespan. So that's a way to extend them."
Speaking of deadlines, Martin Lewis also told viewers that the deadline to use up old stamps - the ones which don't have the barcode on them - has been extended. Previously they were due to expire in January but now the deadline has been extended to July 31st.
And Martin also urged shoppers of all major supermarkets - so Waitrose, Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons as well as Tesco - that there are a few 'free food' deals available to redeem at supermarkets while stocks last.
The deals include Onken Kefir yoghurt at £1.65 at Waitrose, redeemable via Shopmium app, a 2L Coke Zero at £2, whereby you can buy it at Morrisons and then upload your receipt at Hashting to get the money back, a Pieminster gravy, at £4, available via Hashting through Waitrose in the same way, and a VFC Chick*n (ie meat free) tender at £3 you can buy at Sainsbury's and claim back with code FREEVFC when shopping online at Sainsbury's.
