There is currently £18million worth of Clubcard vouchers, issued in February 2022, due to expire next Thursday (February 29).
Shoppers can use them to bring down the cost of their weekly shop, pay for fuel or to pick up a new deal with Tesco Mobile.
Shoppers can use Clubcard vouchers in-store and online to save money on their Tesco shop.
If you decide to use your vouchers for your Tesco shop, every 150 points can be exchanged to the value of £1.50.

Your vouchers can also be doubled in value to spend at over 100 reward partners including Pizza Express and Zizzi.
How to save on your supermarket shop
THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.
You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they’ve been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you’ll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you’ll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching “finest” or “luxury” products and instead going for “own” or value” type of lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they’re misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you’re on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
Tesco’s warning comes as more than £125million worth of new vouchers landed on doorsteps and into Tesco’s app earlier this month.
Vouchers are issued every three months in February, May, August and November.
What do I need to do to claim my vouchers?
To claim your vouchers, sign in to the Tesco Grocery and Clubcard app or go to the “My Clubcard account” section of the supermarket’s website.

The app is free to download from the Apple app store for iPhone users or Google Play store for Android.
There will then be an option to turn your Clubcard points into vouchers.
You can then choose your vouchers and they will appear in your Clubcard account.
How does the Tesco Clubcard scheme work?
Tesco’s Clubcard scheme allows shoppers to earn points as they shop, and these points can be turned into vouchers for money off food or other reward partner schemes.
Each time you spend £1 in-store and online, you get one point when you scan your card or app.
Drivers using Clubcards now get one point for every two litres spent on fuel.
Shopping discounts – How to make savings and find the best bargains
One point equals 1p, so 150 points gets you £1.50, for example.
You’ll need a minimum of 150 points to request a voucher.
These vouchers can either be worth the face value to spend in-store at Tesco, or you can double their worth to spend at reward partners, including restaurants, and on days out.
Loyalty card holders can also get cheaper prices on over 8,000 items thanks to Clubcard Prices.
These Clubcard prices save the average member £351 on their annual shop, according to Tesco.
