With less than a month until Christmas Day, savvy shoppers across the UK are looking for ways to stretch their budgets. For the over 24 million members of the Tesco Clubcard scheme, the festive period presents a golden opportunity to maximise loyalty points and unlock significant savings on everything from the Christmas food shop to seasonal gifts and days out.
Boost Your Points Balance Before The Festive Rush
Although time is short, there are still several effective strategies to rapidly increase your Clubcard points tally before the big day. Keep a close watch on the Tesco app for personalised coupons and bonus-point events. Seasonal product ranges often come with boosted points, and spending through Tesco Marketplace currently earns you triple points.
Beyond your grocery shop, you can accumulate points through various partner activities. Earn a point for every £1 spent with parcel delivery service Evri, receive up to 125 points for recycling empty inkjet cartridges via The Recycling Factory, or gain up to 150 points for each survey completed through Shopper Thoughts.
OVO Energy customers have an additional opportunity: by linking their Clubcard, they can enter the weekly Beyond giveaway, which offers 8,750 chances to win 100 points each week.
Unlock Significant Savings With Clubcard Prices
December is the month to be vigilant about Clubcard Prices, as failing to use them means leaving substantial money on the table. Many Christmas essentials, from prosecco to pigs in blankets, are significantly discounted for members, and these savings can accumulate quickly during the expensive festive period.
To ensure you never miss out, make it a habit to always scan your card or app at checkout and actively look for the distinctive yellow Clubcard Price labels both online and in physical stores. This simple practice represents one of the easiest ways to save on your Christmas 'big shop'.
Combine Clubcard With Delivery Saver For Ultimate Convenience
For those planning multiple online orders over the busy festive season, signing up for Tesco Delivery Saver can prove incredibly cost-effective. The subscription service, priced at £4.99 per month for 'off peak' or £7.99 for 'anytime' delivery, offers unlimited deliveries, early access to coveted seasonal delivery slots, and compensation coupons if you don't save on delivery charges.
Even better, you can use your Clubcard vouchers to cover the cost of a Delivery Saver Plan. Simply exchange your points on the Tesco website or app, then follow the redemption instructions in your confirmation email.
Transform Points Into Thoughtful Presents
Clubcard points offer a clever solution for budget-friendly gifting. By converting them into digital gift cards from Tesco's extensive network of Reward Partners, you can find the perfect present for friends, family, teachers, or those notoriously difficult-to-buy-for people on your list.
The process is straightforward: exchange your Clubcard vouchers through the app or website with one of Tesco's more than 100 partners, then use the code you receive to purchase a gift card as normal. The best part? You can often receive up to double the value of your points when converting them this way.
Create Magical Festive Experiences
Instead of spending your points in-store, consider using them to create memorable Christmas experiences for yourself and your family. Tesco's Rewards Partners offer a wide array of options, from feel-good cinema trips and visits to seasonal attractions to festive meals out.
These experience-based rewards typically offer far greater value than standard in-store spending, adding an extra touch of sparkle to your Christmas celebrations without straining your budget.
By implementing these five strategies, Tesco Clubcard holders can navigate the expensive Christmas period more comfortably, making their loyalty scheme work harder during a time when every pound saved makes a meaningful difference.
