Millions of Tesco shoppers can get BONUS Clubcard points worth up to £100
MILLIONS of Tesco shoppers can bag extra Clubcard points worth up to £100.
The supermarket is bringing back a popular game that ran earlier this year which allows members to earn extra points while shopping as normal.
Selected members of the loyalty scheme will be invited to take part in its “Clubcard Challenges” game, which is running between now and August 25.
If you agree to sign up, you will receive 20 personalised challenges across the period and you’ll be able to complete 10 of these.
The challenges will come on top of any personalised deals customers already get via the app or email.
Once customers have completed the challenge they will be rewarded with extra Clubcard points.
You will get a maximum £50 in extra Clubcard points.
However, shoppers can bump the value up to £100 if they decide to spend the vouchers with one of Tesco’s 100 reward partners, which include the RAC, Disney+, the Virgin Atlantic Flying Club and Pizza Express.
Because the challenges are personalised, they vary between shoppers. For example, you could be tasked with spending a certain amount or buying selected products.
The amount you will have to spend to meet the challenge will also vary by customer.
The offer is perfect for customers who were already intending to spend in certain categories – otherwise the extra spending can easily outweigh the benefits of extra Clubcard points.
Consumer groups have previously warned that these types of challenges can push families to going over household budgets.
Shoppers eligible to take part in the campaign will be be emailed and also see a banner on their Tesco Clubcard app.
If you’re not contacted, unfortunately you can only play if you are selected.
But it’s not the only way you can bump up your Clubcard points balance.
We’ve outlined ten ways that Clubcard customers can boost their points by spending money with partners such as Ovo Energy, Vauxhall, and Inkjet Recycling.
Spending challenges are just the latest new feature to the Clubcard scheme in recent years.
The store has also started adding unit pricing to its Clubcard price labels on shelves.
Unit prices make it easier for shoppers to compare similar items of different sizes and choose the best deal.
The supermaket has also started rolling out its new Clubcard Prices logo after being found to have infringed Lidl’s trademark over the use of a yellow circle on a blue background.
Supermarket loyalty schemes - which has one?
MOST UK supermarkets have loyalty schemes so customers can build up points and save money while they shop.
Here we round up what saving programmes you’ll find at the big brands.
- Iceland: Unlike other stores, you don’t collect points with the Iceland Bonus Card. Instead, you load it up with money and Iceland will give you £1 for every £20 you save.
- Lidl Plus: Lidl customers don’t collect points when they shop, and are instead rewarded with personalised vouchers that gives them money off at the till.
- Morrisons: The My Morrisons: Make Good Things Happen replaces the More Card and rewards customers with personalised money off vouchers via the app.
- Sainsbury’s: While Sainsbury’s doesn’t have a personal scheme, it does own the Nectar card which can also be used in Argos, eBay and other shops. You need 200 Nectar points to save up £1 to spend on your card. You need to spend at least £1 to get one Nectar point.
- Tesco: Tesco Clubcard has over 17million members in the UK alone. You use it each time you shop and build up points that can be turned into vouchers – 150 points gets you a £1.50 voucher. Here you need to spend £1 in Tesco to get one point.
- Waitrose: myWaitrose also doesn’t allow you to collect points but instead you’ll get access to free hot drinks, and discounts off certain brands in store.
