Tesco reveals new Clubcard deal and you could bag £2 cinema tickets this half term

TESCO have revealed a new Clubcard deal giving shoppers the chance to bag £2 cinema tickets this half term.
Clubcard members will be able to grab tickets to the latest blockbusters from May 27 to June 8.
For just £4—or £2 in Tesco Clubcard vouchers—movie fans can treat themselves this half-term, thanks to a new partnership between Tesco and Cineworld.
Shoppers can buy up to four discounted tickets, making it cheap to enjoy the movies with family and friends.
But the discounts don’t stop there—Cineworld is also offering Clubcard holders a special £6 deal for a medium drink and popcorn, with the option to upgrade to a large for just £1 more.
Shama Wilson, Tesco Group Membership and Loyalty Director, said: "This is a big year for Tesco Clubcard as we mark 30 years of rewards for our Clubcard members.
"In 1995, the year Clubcard launched, some of the biggest movies included Toy Story, Batman Forever and GoldenEye, and thanks to this amazing deal with our Reward Partner Cineworld, Clubcard members can buy a ticket to watch some of today’s biggest movies with just £2 worth of Clubcard Vouchers."
Tesco shoppers keen to grab the bargain cinema tickets must exchange a minimum of 50p in Clubcard vouchers through the app or website.
Once completed members should head to the Cineworld site and buy tickets "not covered by their Clubcard Vouchers".
To snap up the special drink and popcorn deal, movie-goers will need to show their Clubcard at the food counter.
Javier Sotomayor, Cineworld International President, said: "Tesco have always been a great partner for us at Cineworld Cinemas, and we look forward to extending this partnership further in celebrating Clubcard’s incredible milestone.
"We are excited to welcome customers to our cinemas and to feel more at Cineworld.”
The immensely popular Clubcard loyalty scheme is a simple way to slash the price of groceries.
For every £1 spent customers earn a point.
Each pound is worth a penny, so if you collect 150 points you earn a £1.50 voucher.
It doesn’t sound like much but it adds up over time.
But the real value comes when you use your vouchers with Tesco’s
Reward Partners, where the value can often double, meaning your £1.50 could be worth £3 depending on where you use it.
You can rack up extra points by shopping with Tesco’s partnered brands too.
Vauxhall, Evri, and OVO Energy are just a few examples.
Customers who purchase a new Vauxhall car can earn a whopping 50,000
Clubcard points, while shoppers spending with Evri can earn one point for every £1 spent.
The full list of partners is available on Tesco’s website, so it’s worth having a look to see where you can get more bang for your buck.
Once you convert your Clubcard vouchers into codes for use with a
Reward Partner, those codes are valid for six months, so make sure to use them in time.
Signing up for Clubcard is easy; you can register through the Tesco app, available on the Apple App Store or Google Play, or by heading to Tesco.com and ordering one directly.
For regular Tesco shoppers, upgrading to Clubcard Plus might be worth considering.
It costs £7.99 a month but gives you 10% off two in-store shops of your choice each month.
If your shop is £40 or more, the discount pays for itself — and you’ll even save a bit more.
You’re not locked in either; the subscription can be paused or cancelled at any time if you’re away or not planning to spend as much.
Another simple way to build your points faster is by opting into Tesco’s marketing emails.
While your inbox might get busier, these emails often include exclusive offers and bonus point deals tailored to your shopping habits and they can be a quick win when it comes to boosting your balance.
As mentioned above, it's important to keep an eye on voucher expiry dates as the vouchers expire two years after being issued.
But there’s a handy trick that not everyone knows, if a voucher is about to expire, just spend a small amount of it and the remaining balance will be reissued with a fresh two-year expiry.
So if you’ve got a £10 voucher and use just 50p, the other £9.50 gets renewed.
Finally, if you fancy earning a few extra points from the comfort of your home, you can sign up for Shopper Thoughts, a survey site that rewards you with Clubcard points for sharing your opinions.
It’s a quick and easy way to bag 150 points just by filling in a few questions.
With a few simple tricks and a bit of attention, Tesco Clubcard can be a handy tool to save cash or unlock bigger rewards, just don’t forget to use your vouchers before they expire.
A Tesco employee has revealed a surprising secret about the self-scan trolleys.
According to the worker, random checks on customers using these trolleys are not entirely random.
The checks are actually triggered by a specific customer habit.
If you frequently pick up and put down items without scanning them, you're more likely to be selected for a check.
This is due to the system detecting suspicious behaviour, which could indicate potential theft.
So, to avoid delays, it's best to scan items immediately after placing them in your trolley.
