TESCO shoppers have just hours left to use Clubcard vouchers worth £18million or risk losing them forever.
Customers have until just 11.59pm today to claim their rewards points before they expire.

Shoppers in the Clubcard scheme earn vouchers by spending in-store or online, with every 150 points worth £1.50.
These vouchers can be used on your weekly food shop and with any of Tesco’s partners, such as Pizza Express and Hotels.com.
Any vouchers spent with a Tesco partner are also worth double their normal value.
You can also use vouchers to get money off your Tesco Mobile bill.
But be aware that vouchers expire after two years, so you might lose them if you don’t use them in time.
In this case, £18million-worth of vouchers are due to run out today (30 November).
Fortunately, you can extend their expiration either online or through the Tesco Clubcard app.
To do this, simply make a small purchase on the Tesco Clubcard Rewards page, and the remaining balance will be transferred back as points.
You can then convert your points into vouchers, which will be valid for another two years.
Choose something with a low value, such as a 50p restaurant voucher.
How does Tesco’s Clubcard work?
You earn points as you shop, which can then be turned into vouchers for money off food or with Tesco’s partners.
You earn one point for each £1 spent, and each point is then worth 1p.
So 150 points get you £1.50, and you would have to spend £150 to get 150 points.
You need a minimum of 150 points to request a voucher.
Any vouchers are worth their face value when used in-store at Tesco.
But you can double their worth by spending them at one of the supermarket chain’s partners.
There are over 100 partners you can spend your Clubcard points with, including the RAC, Disney+ and Virgin Atlantic Flying Club.
Points spent with partners used to be worth triple value, but Tesco changed this to double last year.
Any vouchers transferred into Reward Partner codes expire after six months.
Loyalty cardholders also get access to over 8,000 items for less through Clubcard Prices.
What can I get with Tesco Clubcard?
TESCO’S Clubcard scheme allows shoppers to earn points as they shop.
These points can then be turned into vouchers for money off food at the supermarket, or discounts at other places like restaurants and days out.
Each time you spend £1 in-store and online, you get one point when you scan your Clubcard.
Drivers using the loyalty card get one point for every two litres spent on fuel.
One point equals 1p, so 150 points gets you a £1.50 money-off voucher, for example.
You can double their worth when you swap them for discounts with “reward partners”.
For example, £12 worth of vouchers can be swapped for a £24 three-month subscription to Disney+.
Or you can swap 50p worth of points for £1 to spend at Hungry Horse pubs.
Where you can spend them changes regularly, and you can check on the Tesco website what’s available now.
Tesco shoppers can also get Clubcard prices when they have the loyalty card.
The discounted items change regularly and without a Clubcard you’ll pay a higher price.
These Clubcard prices are usually labelled on shelves, along with the non-member price.
But it’s worth noting that just because it’s discounted doesn’t necessarily make it the cheapest around, and you should compare prices to find the best deal.
You can sign up to get a Tesco Clubcard in store or online via the Tesco website.
How to reclaim lost Clubcard points
Many people lose or forget to use their Tesco vouchers, but there’s an easy way to claw back the last two years of unused vouchers.
Here’s exactly how to find out if you have any unused vouchers.
The first step is to log into your Tesco Clubcard account on Tesco.com or via the Clubcard app.
You’ll need your name, email address and Clubcard number to hand.
Once you’ve logged in, navigate to “My Clubcard Account” and then click on “Vouchers” to see a full list of any vouchers you still have to spend.
You can use the code included in your voucher to spend online.
If you want to redeem them in-store, you’ll need to print them off and take them with you.
