In the Tesco Groceries app go to the clubcard screen, scroll down to coupons and then tap to add coupons to Clubcard.

Note this is the Groceries app, not the Clubcard app which is now discontinued.

(I also use iPhone so it may be different on android).

Not on my Android.  Tesco have always been very Apple focussed though

I've just spotted in the MSE article "Initially, these will only be available to four million "digitally engaged" Tesco customers" so I expect everyone else will have to wait until next year.

What precisely does that mean ?  I have had a couple of batches of coupons now so must be one of those. The app has also recently started showing my regular buys so must be part of this.  Still can't automatically link the coupons to my Clubcard though.

Your guess is as good as mine as to why some people are classed as 'engaged' and others aren't. I'm guessing it's more to do with whether their algorithm thinks they'll shop more often/spend more money with vouchers more than anything quantifiable.

This week, I have used opened their app 24 times and spent a total of 1hr 5mins using it. That's on the low side, some weeks it's around 40 opens, 1hr 45 mins in the app. This is not digitally engaged, apparently.

Sounds as if it might be 'digitally frustrating!'

I’ve been using the old Clubcard app for a long time.  I switched over to the new Tesco shopping app about 3 weeks ago and have been getting coupons ever since.

My offers I can remember so far have been:

- Double points on two shops (had this twice)
- £2 off £8 spend on ANY cheese
- 25 extra points on fresh asparagus
- 100 bonus points on £6 spend on Christmas decorations
- 300 bonus points on £15 spend on F&F clothing
- 150 bonus points on £8 spend on toys
- 25 bonus points on Finest desserts

plus others I can’t recall…

i only buy the things I want or need but I am finding the points stacking up nicely… and the £2 discount on cheese came in handy as I bought cheeses with good dates for my Boxing Day cheeseboard!

Nope nothing here. Use Tesco app for 2 online shops a month…

but it has made me realise my plastic club card is different from my online club card, so got them merged… seems to only be £1.50 worth of extra points tho… hmmm.

I have used quite a few of these coupons.  I find them useful.  I do most of my grocery shopping online and they are easy to add to my shopping before I pay.  I have yet to figure out how to use a coupon for F&F since you can no longer buy F&F clothes online.  I guess I just scan my phone if I happen to be in store (rarely!).

Yes just scan a digital copy of a voucher or coupon and ask the assistant/cashier to 'twiddle' the paper coupon/voucher receptacle.

Just had an e-mail about the "new easier to use coupons".  Went into the app and there is the option to add them to the clubcard.  The app has not been updated and is still the 4th Nov version so it looks like it is something they are adding to accounts in batches.

Just checked my app and I have it too.

Not sure how this is going to work around here. 

Half the Tescos in the area have no wifi or any other signal available at all inside.  This means you can't even phone home to get the rest of the shopping list let alone look up whatever coupons there may be on an app.  I did a major shop recently knowing that I'd been emailed a large voucher from work but couldn't use it as my emails couldn't be accessed.  And like many people I don't have a printer.

Add the coupons in the app before leaving the house. If there is a coupon you might use make a note on shopping list, such as —mince pies (as there is 25 extra points).
