Around three million Tesco shoppers have less than 24 hours to redeem or use their Tesco vouchers as the supermarket giant warns of the looming Clubcard expiry date on 31 May.

Tesco vouchers, which can currently be traded in for three times their value, only last for two years and are sent out every three months in February, May, August and November.

As the month of May draws to a close, Tesco announced that roughly £15 million worth of unused Tesco vouchers were still up for grabs and urged people to redeem them as it could help them save ‘up to £351 a year’.

Aforementioned, the Tesco vouchers can be exchanged at places such as Pizza Express and Legoland for three times their worth (if you pay £5 you can purchase £15 worth of goods), but from 14 June, Clubcard vouchers will only be worth double.

While the hours are ticking by, money saving expert Martin Lewis gave his advice on how to extend and even triple your Clubcard’s worth before the cut in cost next month, by simply going online today to the Tesco Clubcard Rewards website.

From there, Martin suggested making a small purchase from all of your soon-to-expire Clubcard vouchers so the remaining points will be credited back to your account.

He said on Good Morning Britain: “Say you've got a £10 voucher, you go online, you login, you spend say 50p of your £10, so you've now got £1.50 in restaurant vouchers - because 50p becomes £1.50. For the rest of the £9.50, they reissue it and it lasts another two years.”

It must be noted that this hack only works if you are purchasing rewards, so you will not receive the benefits if you are spending the voucher be it online or in store.
