Tesco Christmas Clubcard Boost: double points value in more departments

You can now double the value of your Clubcard points in more Tesco departments in time for Christmas.

Tesco is extending its Clubcard Boost scheme in time for Christmas.

Clubcard Boost (the merger of the former Clubcard Rewards and Clubcard Exchange programmes) lets you trade in your Clubcard vouchers for up to four times their value.

To get the biggest return you have to trade them for vouchers with external partners for things like days out, money off at restaurants or experiences. However, you can still double their value by exchanging them for use in some Tesco departments.

Up to now, those departments have been clothing, opticians, cook, dine & home, baby & toddler, cosmetics & frangrance, and the Hudl tablet & accessories.

However, from Monday 28th October the scheme is being expanded to take in five extra departments:

• Toys and bikes;
• Finest wines and champagne;
• Phones and accessories;
• Electricals;
• Gift sets.

Exchanging your Clubcard vouchers

You can swap your vouchers online on the Tesco Clubcard website. Or you can take in the vouchers you’re sent in your statement and exchange them in-store.

If you want to take advantage of the new departments, your vouchers need to be exchanged by 20th December and then redeemed by 31st December.

Boosting your Clubcard points

Shopping in Tesco is the obvious way to collect Clubcard points, but there are a host of other things you can do to boost your tally, including:

• Get your gas and electricity from E.ON and you can earn up to 4,000 points;
• Collect points on selected products at blackcircles.com;
• Earn one point for every 1p of cashback earned at TopCashback;
• One point for every £1 spent at Blinkbox;
• One point for every £1 spent at The Nutri Centre.

You can also take advantage of one of Tesco’s suite of Clubcard credit cards, all of which offer five points for every £4 you spend in-store and one point for every £4 you spend elsewhere. You can choose from:

• Clubcard Credit Card for Purchases: which offers 0% interest on purchases for 18 months (the longest period available) and 0% on balance transfers for nine months (2.9% transfer fee);

• Clubcard Credit Card for Balance Transfers: 28 months of 0% interest on balance transfers (2.9% transfer fee) and 0% on purchases for three months;

• Clubcard Credit Card with Low Balance Transfer Fee: 0% interest on balance transfers for 12 months (0.9% fee) and 0% on purchases for 12 months too;

• Clubcard Credit Card with Low APR: 0% on purchases and balance transfers for three months with no transfer fee. Representative APR if you don't pay off your balance in full is a market-leading 7.8%.
