Use Clubcard vouchers before November 30
Around £18m of unspent Tesco Clubcard vouchers are due to expire on Saturday November 30, 2024, so you must use them up by midnight on this date or lose them for good. The only way to extend the expiry date of your points is by using some of them to make a purchase on the Tesco Clubcard Rewards page. You’ll then get any points that are left credited back to your Clubcard account and they will be re-issued as new vouchers lasting up to two years.
