Tesco Clubcard warning ahead of Christmas as shoppers to miss out on major savings

People can spend hundreds of euros buying their food shop alone in the run-up to Christmas.

Between the obligatory boxes of chocolates and all the dressings for Christmas dinners, December is one of the most expensive times of the year.

However, shoppers can make major savings just by understanding the policies of different supermarkets.

For example, by using your Tesco Clubcard, you can access deals that you would otherwise miss out on.

Tesco have stated that any Clubcard points collected between 22 July and 3 November will be turned into vouchers.

However, there are some criteria to receive the vouchers. Shoppers must have enough points to exchange, with a minimum of 150 points to turn them into vouchers.

They explained that during “the two weeks before your March, August and November statements are due, you won't be able to turn points into vouchers”

People wanting to turn their Clubcard points into vouchers can only do so via the Tesco app and make the most of them for Christmas.

On their website, Tesco say: “When you start to turn your points into vouchers in seconds, you'll automatically stop receiving your statements by post. Instead, we'll send your statements to your registered email address.

“You must have a minimum of 150 points to request vouchers. Your entire points balance will be turned into vouchers when you request vouchers.

“Any adjustments or refunds to your points balance will be processed. The amount you receive in vouchers may be different to the amount of points requested, to account for any adjustments or refunds.

“There are 3 points collection periods per year (March, August, November, but exact dates may vary). You won't be able to turn points into vouchers during the 2 weeks before your statement arrives.

“By turning your points into vouchers, you agree to the additional terms and conditions, which can be found here ”.
