With less than a month to go until Christmas, there’s no better time to start maximising your spending through loyalty points and discounts.
One of the largest of these schemes – with over 24 million members throughout the UK – is Tesco Clubcard, which lets users earn points on everything from food to fuel.
There are even more ways to use them too, which comes in handy when you have to stock up on festive favourites or plan seasonal outings with loved ones.
If you’re wondering how to put your points and perks towards making the holidays feel more magical and much more budget-friendly, here are five easy, high-impact tips.
Boost your points before the big day
Although there’s not long left, you can still take advantage of certain offers to ramp up your points balance between now and Christmas .
Keep an eye out for bonus-point events, personalised coupons in the Tesco app, and product promos that offer extra rewards; seasonal ranges often come with boosted points, for example, while spending through Tesco Marketplace will currently snag you triple .
You can also get a point for every £1 spent with Evri, up to 125 for recycling your empty inkjet cartridges through The Recycling Factory, or up to 150 for each survey you complete through Shopper Thoughts.

Shop smart with Clubcard prices
If you’re not using Clubcard Prices in December, you’re leaving money on the table. Many essentials for this time of year – from prosecco to pigs in blankets – are significantly discounted for members, and these savings can quickly add up.
To avoid missing out, make habits of always scanning your card or app at checkout and checking for yellow Clubcard Price labels both online and in store. It’s one of the simplest ways to save on the Christmas ‘big shop’.

Stack Clubcard with Tesco Delivery Saver
If you’ll be ordering online a lot over the festive period, signing up Tesco Delivery Saver can pay for itself — and you can even use Clubcard points to cover the cost.
This subscription service – at £4.99 a month for ‘off peak’ or £7.99 for ‘anytime’ – gives you unlimited deliveries, early access to seasonal delivery slots, and coupons for the difference if you don’t save on delivery charges, which could be well worth it if you value convenience.
To use Clubcard vouchers to pay for a Delivery Saver Plan, exchange points on the website or app, then follow the instructions in the confirmation email to redeem.
Convert points into gift cards
Budget-friendly gifting is another way to use your Clubcard points; by turning them into digital gift cards from a range of Reward Partners.

Simply exchange your Clubcard vouchers through the app or website with one of Tesco’s more than 100 partners (check them out here) and use the code you receive to purchase a gift card as normal.
