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.

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.

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.
