10 Surprising Ways to Use Tesco Clubcard Vouchers (Beyond Groceries)

How to make the most of your Tesco Clubcard vouchers

For seasoned deal hunters and budget-conscious households alike, Tesco Clubcard vouchers remain one of the most potent (and flexible) tools for helping your hard-earned money stretch further. According to 2025 data collected by Paul Skeldon from Internet Retailing, approximately 23 million households in the UK are Clubcard members. That's over 80% of UK households, proving that the humble Clubcard penetrates the majority of the population in a truly unique way.

While advising people on ways to save money, I've seen hundreds of reward schemes come and go in the last decade. However, the Tesco Clubcard consistently stands out for one tangible and practical reason. It's not just marketing fluff. You earn points doing something you're already doing, namely buying groceries, fuel, and online essentials, and then you get to spend those points on things that make life a little richer, like theme park visits, restaurant discounts and more.

Your Clubcard points can take you far beyond the weekly food shop. In fact, with the right strategy, you can triple the value of your points through the Clubcard Rewards scheme, unlocking experiences, dining, and travel that would otherwise come at a hefty price tag. Yet many people still don't know how to use Tesco Clubcard vouchers to their full potential. Worse still, MoneySavingExpert estimates that up to 18 million worth of vouchers go unused every year.

Don't let Clubcard vouchers expire or be used for groceries, turn them into triple-value days out and so much more! This guide is for those ready to elevate their spending game, turning everyday Tesco loyalty into extraordinary value.

What are Tesco Clubcard vouchers and how do they work?

Tesco Clubcard vouchers are the foundation of one of Britain's most valuable and versatile loyalty schemes. They are digital or paper-based vouchers earned by collecting points through everyday Tesco spending on groceries, fuel, mobile top-ups, and even Tesco Bank services. From a small trial across nine stores in 1995, Tesco Clubcard users now account for up to 82% of all Tesco transactions, according to data collated by LinkedIn editor Aaron Toumazou.

How you earn Clubcard points

If you're not already a member, you can register online, via the Tesco Clubcard app, or in-store. The process is free and takes only a few minutes. You will then earn Tesco Clubcard points simply by spending at Tesco and its partner services:

• Get 1 point per £1 spent in-store or online at Tesco.
• Get 1 point per £2 spent on fuel at Tesco petrol stations or Esso with a Tesco Express.
• Additional points via Tesco Bank, Tesco Mobile, and promotional partners.
• Boosted earnings through Clubcard Plus and personalised offers in the app.

Your points get automatically added to your Clubcard account. Every 150 points equals a £1.50 voucher. When redeemed at face value, each point is worth 1p, so 150 points equals a £1.50 voucher. On their own, this may not sound earth-shattering, but the true potential lies not in spending them like cash at Tesco, but in leveraging the Clubcard Rewards Partners programme.

How Tesco points become Clubcard vouchers

Clubcard points get converted into vouchers approximately every three months. You'll receive these digitally in your Tesco app, Clubcard account, or by post if you've opted for paper statements. You can also request vouchers early online if you've accumulated enough points.

Easily manage everything from your Tesco account dashboard or via the Clubcard app. See your total points, voucher history, expiration dates, and available reward options. You can even partially redeem vouchers, letting you save the balance for later. For example, if you have a £10 voucher but only need £6 for a Zizzi meal, the remaining £4 stays in your account until the next use.

Beyond the Aisles: Where to spend Clubcard vouchers outside of Tesco

Tesco's Clubcard Rewards programme allows you to exchange vouchers at up to 3x their face value with a curated group of partner brands. They include household names across dining, travel, entertainment, lifestyle, and family days out. A £10 voucher suddenly becomes £30 off a hotel booking, a slap-up restaurant meal, or tickets to the UK's top theme parks.

As we'll explore in the following sections, the trick isn't earning the points; it's knowing where to spend Tesco Clubcard vouchers to extract maximum value. Once you see what's possible beyond groceries and Tesco Wine, you will never look at your Clubcard balance the same way again.

1 Restaurants and dining

Tesco Clubcard vouchers open the door to meals at popular UK restaurants. Through Tesco’s dining partners, you can convert vouchers at three times their value, meaning a modest £10 in vouchers becomes a generous £30 toward your bill. I recently enjoyed a spontaneous pizza night, with my Clubcard balance covering the bill. Restaurant partners are nationwide, making them accessible whether you’re in a city centre or a suburban high street.

Dine using Tesco Clubcard vouchers:

• Pizza Express - Enjoy classic and seasonal pizzas, pastas, and desserts with a 3x voucher boost.
• Zizzi - Italian-inspired menu with plenty of vegetarian and vegan options.
• Prezzo - Cosy, family-friendly atmosphere and traditional Italian fare.
• Bella Italia - A relaxed trattoria experience perfect for couples or families.
• ASK Italian - Contemporary dishes and a great choice for casual dining.

• Bar + Block Steakhouse - Great value for meat-lovers and date nights.

2 Theme parks and days out

One of the most valuable and exciting ways to redeem Tesco Clubcard vouchers is by trading them for discounted or completely free entry to top UK attractions. From adrenaline-fuelled rollercoasters to interactive family adventures, the Rewards scheme allows you to triple the value of your vouchers at many major theme parks and attractions. Take a look at our 10 money-saving tips for families for other ways to treat the family for less.

3 Cultural escapes and museums

From exploring ancient castles to delving into Shakespearean theatre or walking the halls of historical estates, your Clubcard vouchers grant access to some of the UK’s most iconic cultural landmarks for up to three times their face value. I like nothing better than taking a trip into Britain’s extraordinary past, especially when it's so affordable thanks to my trusty Tesco reward points.

4 Holidays and hotels

Accommodation and travel costs are often barriers to taking that well-earned break. However, many Tesco shoppers don't realise that Clubcard vouchers can dramatically reduce those costs, sometimes by as much as three times their face value. Whether booking a spontaneous weekend escape, a week by the sea, or even a European getaway, Tesco Clubcard Rewards partners can help you turn everyday spending into discounted adventures.

Savoo's Money-Saving Travel Editor, John Connellan says:

“

I've used Clubcard vouchers to knock hundreds off holidays over the years, most recently £90 off an easyJet holidays package to Spain. It's genuinely one of the best-value ways to use your points. Hotels.com and Eurotunnel have been brilliant too, especially for spontaneous weekend trips.

5 Magazine subscriptions

Tesco Clubcard vouchers can also deliver something a bit quieter and more enduring in the form of magazine subscriptions delivered to your door. They remain one of the most overlooked, yet high-value ways to redeem your vouchers. Ideal for gifting or self-indulgence, you can turn a small Clubcard balance into months of inspiration, ideas, and escapism.

Many subscriptions offer a 3x voucher boost, so £5 in vouchers becomes £15 towards a full-year subscription, often covering the entire cost. Subscriptions typically arrive within four to six weeks after redemption, and most deals are for 6 to 12 issues.

Spend your Tesco Clubcard vouchers on magazines:

• Good Housekeeping - The go-to for home, food, and wellbeing tips.
• Men’s Health / Women’s Health - Fitness, nutrition, and lifestyle content delivered monthly.
• BBC Good Food - For recipe inspiration and culinary know-how.
• Country Living - Ideal for those craving a slower, rural aesthetic.
• Cosmopolitan - Beauty, culture, and advice tailored to modern readers.
• Red Magazine - Stylish living and thought-provoking features.

6 Motoring deals

Running a car can quickly eat into your monthly budget because of insurance, maintenance, parking, and breakdown cover. But Tesco Clubcard vouchers offer relief even here, turning your loyalty points into real savings on essential motoring expenses. While not as exciting as a trip to Alton Towers, using your vouchers to save with motoring partners makes a lot of sense.

By redeeming just a few pounds in vouchers, you can offset the rising costs of vehicle ownership!

Where to reduce motoring costs with Tesco Clubcard vouchers:

RAC Breakdown cover - One of the most practical uses for Clubcard vouchers. Redeem at 3x value towards new personal or vehicle breakdown policies, potentially covering your annual premium.

Tesco Bank Car insurance - While vouchers can’t be used directly for payments, Tesco Bank customers can still earn Clubcard points on premiums, building a balance to use elsewhere.

Parking with YourParkingSpace - Book parking across thousands of UK locations, from airports to city centres, and redeem Clubcard vouchers for up to three times their value. This is a great option for commuters.

Halfords Autocentres (seasonal availability) - Occasionally available as a partner, use Clubcard vouchers for servicing, MOTs, or tyres when available.

7 Travel

Whether planning a weekend city break, commuting to uni, or heading abroad, transport costs are another area where Tesco Clubcard vouchers can take the edge off. Triple-value redemptions are available across major rail, coach, and ferry services, especially useful for families, students, and frequent travellers looking to cut travel costs.

Use your Clubcard Vouchers for travel services:

Eurotunnel Le Shuttle: Drive through to France via Folkestone and save big. £10 in vouchers becomes £30 off your fare, a game-changer for cross-channel holidays.

Railcards (16-25, Family & Friends, Two Together, Senior): Save up to 1/3 on train fares all year round. Exchange vouchers for full payment of eligible Railcards, making it a high-impact use of even small voucher balances.

National Express: Availability varies, but vouchers can be used towards long-distance coach journeys across the UK when offered. Ideal for budget-conscious travellers visiting major cities or airports.

Wightlink Ferries: Very much seasonal, but you can head to the Isle of Wight for less when they are partnering with Tesco. Convert vouchers to reduce crossing costs, especially useful for summer getaways.

8 Cinema tickets

A night at the cinema is not a luxury treat when you have Tesco Clubcard vouchers. You can swap your points for cinema tickets, turning a typical £5 voucher into £15 worth of movie magic. So whether it's a blockbuster release, a date night, or a half-term family outing, you'll save significantly just by planning ahead and converting your Tesco vouchers into digital codes.

Where to use Clubcard vouchers on cinema tickets:

• Cineworld - Use your vouchers toward 2D, 3D, IMAX, and even family tickets across the UK. 50p in vouchers equals £1 to use.
• Cineworld Unlimited Pass - £10 in Clubcard vouchers gets doubled to £20 to use on a pass for repeat visits.
• Picturehouse Cinemas - Perfect for indie films and arthouse screenings in stylish venues.
• The Light Cinemas - A growing chain offering Clubcard redemption for ticket purchases.

With ticket prices averaging £10-£15 each, especially in major cities, your Clubcard balance could cover the entire outing (snacks excluded). The cinema is one of the easiest and most rewarding entertainment options for both individuals and families.

I was surprised when I realised I could use my Tesco Clubcard vouchers to pay for Disney+. Instead of shelling out for another monthly subscription, I swapped £7.50 in vouchers for three months of family movie nights, boxsets, and Marvel marathons. I don't mind ads, but if you find them annoying, there is also the option to go ad-free if you have saved £13.50 in Tesco points.

9 Unforgettable experiences

Those who prefer memories over material things may be interested in knowing that Tesco Clubcard vouchers can help fund some of the UK's most exciting and indulgent experiences. From a birthday surprise to a romantic spa day, or a personal thrill like indoor skydiving, once again your vouchers can go three times further through Tesco experience partners.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take for Tesco Clubcard points to show?

Tesco Clubcard points usually appear in your account within 24 hours of an in-store shop and up to five days after an online grocery order is delivered. For fuel purchases, points are added within 48 hours, while points from Tesco Bank, Tesco Mobile, and Clubcard partner transactions can take up to a month to show. You can track all new points in the Tesco Grocery & Clubcard app or by logging into your Clubcard account online.

Can you still use out of date Tesco Clubcard vouchers?

Once a Tesco Clubcard voucher has expired, you usually can’t use it. Tesco’s standard policy is that expired vouchers are no longer valid and will not get reissued. However, there is a workaround if you act before the expiry date. Redeem a small part of the voucher (even as little as 50p) with a Clubcard Reward Partner to trigger a new two-year expiry date.

If you miss the deadline entirely, it’s worth contacting Tesco customer services, but they aren’t obliged to replace expired vouchers.

What are the advantages of the Tesco Clubcard app?

If you collect Clubcard points, the Tesco Clubcard app is one of the simplest ways to stay on top of them. It brings all your Clubcard perks together on your phone, so you can earn, check, and spend points without needing the plastic card in your wallet.

What the app lets you do:

• Show your digital Clubcard at the till for instant scanning.
• Keep an eye on your points total and available vouchers as they update.
• See and use Clubcard Prices on eligible products straight away.
• Get offers tailored to your shopping habits to help build points faster.
• Redeem vouchers for groceries or reward partners directly from your phone.
• Receive alerts before vouchers expire, so none go to waste.
