A supermarket giant is making a huge change to its vouchers and rewards scheme - and chances are a lot of shoppers will not be happy. Tesco is reducing the value of Clubcard vouchers when they are exchanged for goods with various reward partners.
As part of the Clubcard scheme, customers can use vouchers in stores across the country to save money on their weekly shop. But they can also currently exchange those vouchers and triple their value when used to access more than 100 ‘reward partners’ - including Pizza Express, Butlins Hotels, National Express, Oakwood, Cineworld and much more.
But, from June 14, Clubcard vouchers will only be worth twice their value, not up to three times their value as is currently the case, meaning they won’t go as far if you’re looking to book that short break or that meal for two.

Customers can continue to get the current value from their vouchers by ordering partner codes before June 14 - those codes will still be worth the current value and can be used in exchange for rewards.. A spokesman for Tesco said: “We are making a change to how customers use their Tesco Clubcard vouchers with our Tesco Clubcard Reward Partners. We’re doing this to make sure we can continue to provide a wide range of exciting rewards, whilst keeping our product prices low.
“Millions of people tap their Tesco Clubcard every time they shop, benefiting from access to over 8,000 weekly deals on Clubcard Prices, which we’ve now rolled out across our stores – so from food to clothing, Tesco Mobile to Tesco Bank, you can now find even more great deals. And with potential savings of up to £351 a year, more people than ever before are making the most of the value that Tesco Clubcard offers.
“From 14 June, when you exchange your Clubcard vouchers for a Reward Partner code, they’ll be worth up to 2x as much, not up to 3x the value, as they are now. Tesco Clubcard continues to have the biggest and most generous Reward Partner scheme with access to over 100 Reward Partners at 2x your Clubcard voucher value.”
To give customers extra time to decide when to use their Clubcard vouchers, the supermarket chain is extending the validity period on Tesco Clubcard Reward Partner codes ordered between March 17 and June 13 so that they’re valid for 12 months, rather than the usual six months.
