Tesco Clubcard customers have until tomorrow to redeem their points for triple the amount when used against a ‘Reward Partner’.
The value was due to be reduced to double from today – so 500 points would be worth £10 rather than £15 – but due to shoppers across from the UK experiencing technical issues yesterday, Tesco has extended the deadline, reported The Mirror.
Alongside discounted prices, the Tesco Clubcard Reward Partner scheme also allows customers to earn points to spend on meals, travel and days out. Shoppers earn one point for every £1 spent in store or online.
The points are currently worth three times their value when spent with reward partners such as Virgin Atlantic and Cafe Rouge.
But after 11.59pm on June 15 this will be cut to two times their value as the supermarket scales back its rewards scheme. This could mean missing out on savings at some of your favourite destinations including Legoland and Pizza Express.

Tesco reportedly said that high demand to swap points for vouchers ahead of the original deadline of June 14 had resulted in technical problems.
As such, customers – several of whom took to Twitter to complain that they couldn’t redeem their vouchers – now have until tomorrow to take advantage of the triple value.
Customers can redeem their points online and Reward Partner codes are sent by email from Tesco Clubcard. If you exchange on the Tesco Grocery & Clubcard app, they’ll also appear in the ‘Rewards’ section.
Any reward vouchers ordered before the deadline will be valid for a year at the current rate, rather than the usual six months.
If that is not enough, Martin Lewis has revealed how to extend your usual points for even longer. The Money Saving Expert recommends making a small purchase on the Tesco Clubcard Rewards website – to get remaining points credited back to your account.
Mr Lewis explained: ‘Say you’ve got a £10 voucher, go online, login, 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 re-issue it and it lasts another two years.
Tesco made more changes to their Clubcard system recently, with customers needing to install the new Grocery and Clubcard app to keep saving
‘So if you spend just a little bit of the voucher, the rest of it is re-issued and it lasts another two years.’
This latest change is another important point for Tesco customers looking to save, after April saw the supermarket move its points system from the ‘Clubcard’ app to a new ‘Grocery and Clubcard’ one.
Since 1995, Clubcards have helped Tesco shoppers to make savings as they shop. Every pound you spend equates to one Clubcard point.
When you redeem these points in the form of vouchers to spend in Tesco, they are worth one penny per point.
Those with Clubcards can also access discounts on select products in store and online, as well as exchanging points for other rewards.
Other changes being brought in by Tesco include that customers will collect one point for every two litres of fuel, instead of one point for every £2 spent.
