Tesco points

Options
We used to get money-off vouchers from Tesco based on how much we'd spent. We haven't received any since last year and I can't find anything on the website that mentions vouchers. It just talks about points. I have no clue how we're supposed to use these. We don't do days out or chain restaurant meals. What are we supposed to do with them?

    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    If you don't want to convert the vouchers to spend elsewhere, you can just spend them with Tesco, for their face value.

    They've stopped sending them out by post.
    How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.31% of current retirement "pot" (as at end March 2024)

    There are other options available. I've used vouchers in the past for ferry trips, magazine subscriptions and to buy Denby pottery.

    You used to be able to get 4x the value with some "partners", then it was 3x and now 2x.......but still better than face value if you spend them at Tesco

    The website certainly does mention vouchers


    At the end of the collection period points, as always, are turned into vouchers which are available, if you don't want to redeem them for partner offers, to print off  or spend with a bar code in the app in store.  As mentioned above they are no longer sent out by post unless you request it.  You also now have the option of turning points into vouchers mid collection period, you don't have to wait.

    I had my vouchers sent out in the post in November

    I don't have a smart phone or a printer!
    In the past I spent them online by buying ferry crossing so didn't need a paper copy but now with only x 2 rewards I won't have enough for anything much
    (I also had the points that I earned in ROI but that scheme has split away from UK- & had loads more points)

    I haven't had coupons for quite a while.......

    Once you are in your 'Clubcard account'  when you go to 'statement preferences' on the right hand menu you can request that the vouchers are posted to you
    Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything! --
    Many thanks

    Are you registered on the Tesco website/app? I think you can probably access both vouchers earned through Clubcard points and money off "coupons" with your Clubcard, without printing them off or asking for paper vouchers. You can certainly access them via the phone. But I used to give paper coupons to my partner to use, or the card, I'm not sending him out with my phone I still get money off coupons but they are often £8 off a shop of £40 in a particular week, and on general food shopping that's more than we usually spend at a time (no car).

    Tesco has also started to offer lots of Clubcard discounts per specific item - these have replaced other special offer promotions. The Clubcard discount will be shown on the shelves when you're looking round.

    Does your partner have a smart phone? You can have the app on both your phones with the same account. My husband has my account on his phone as well as me having it on mine.

    Good point, that probably would have been better, but he has a separate Clubcard account from me. He does most of the grocery shopping and I told him to check his accounts for something else before he went out a few days ago. He realised that he'd amassed £54 of Clubcard vouchers, with another £11 or so due. I have £10.50 but with another £1.50 due on my separate account, and some expire in a few weeks (they are valid for 2 years, but at least this way I keep control over them. I had to use some in November. But I think the "Clubcard Prices" are the biggest reason for having one now, as the promotional discounts amount to more than the points.

    Thankyou Katiehound. I've followed your advice and now will have vouchers sent to me. 

    I had £24 sitting there doing nowt as I didn't realise the 'points' had built up (I was expecting paper vouchers to be posted out to me as explained above).
