A reminder has been issued to Tesco Clubcard users about vouchers that could be due to expire
Tesco customers are being urged to check their accounts as their vouchers could be about to expire. Experts have warned that Clubcard vouchers worth £17 million are set to lapse at the end of May.
The Tesco Clubcard is a free rewards scheme that allows shoppers to build up points as they spend. Members also benefit from exclusive deals and can exchange their points for vouchers to use against groceries, fuel, or with partner retailers.
Figures show that in early 2026, more than 24 million UK households hold a Tesco Clubcard — accounting for over 80% of all homes. However, to make the most of your Clubcard vouchers, it’s vital to keep track of when they are due to expire.
The team at Money Saving Expert (MSE), the website founded by Martin Lewis, has flagged that a key expiry deadline for these vouchers could be fast approaching.
MSE said: “If you’ve got a Tesco Clubcard, check if you have any vouchers that expire soon, as £17 million-worth are due to run out at 11.59pm on Sunday 31 May.” That said, there may be a way to extend their lifespan if you’re not ready to use them just yet.
MSE added: “Don’t want to spend your vouchers yet? We’ve got a trick to extend their validity.” As a first step, you should review your vouchers and check whether any appear to be missing.
MSE said: “Tesco Clubcard vouchers are only valid for two years from the date they were issued (unless you’re able to extend them). If you’re unsure when yours expire and you’ve still got them in paper format, check the date on the voucher itself.”
However, if you’ve misplaced your paper vouchers, or aren’t certain whether you had any to begin with, you can verify this on the Tesco Clubcard website or app. To check online, head to the Tesco Clubcard website, select Clubcard account and then ‘Vouchers.’
MSE continued: “You’ll need to be registered for a Tesco.com account and must know your Clubcard number, which is printed on Clubcards (including those downloaded to digital wallets) and Clubcard key fobs. You should then be able to see a table listing your available vouchers and their expiry dates.
“To check on the Tesco app, open it up, go to ‘Clubcard’ and then to the ‘Vouchers’ section. (If you don’t have the app, you can download it for free through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.)”
Extend your vouchers
MSE claimed that if your Clubcard vouchers are due to expire and you don’t want to use them yet, you might be able to extend the expiry date by another two years.
“Technically, under the Clubcard T&Cs, Tesco can refuse a Reward Partner order if it decides you’re trying to game the system by redeeming vouchers just to extend their validity – but we tested the trick at MoneySavingExpert.com Towers this week and it worked just fine,” MSE said.
“If you want to give this a try, here’s how it works – though remember you’ll need to extend your vouchers by 11.59pm on Sunday 31 May.”
Here’s what you need to do:
- Make a small purchase on the Tesco Clubcard Rewards page (not in store or on other Tesco pages) or donate to one of its partner charities
- The remaining balance will then be credited back to your Clubcard account, e.g if you spend 50p using a £5 Clubcard voucher, you should get £4.50 back
- You can then swap your points for vouchers manually or wait for them to be converted with your next statement
- The expiry date for these new vouchers will be two years in the future
MSE said: “You’ll need to do this for each individual voucher, so it’s worth weighing up if it’s actually worth it for smaller denominations. For example, if you’ve a £10 voucher it could be worth it. If you’ve got a handful of £1 vouchers, maybe less so.”
