MILLIONS of Tesco shoppers can now earn up to £50 worth of extra Clubcard points as the supermarket brings back a popular rewards game.

Selected members of the loyalty scheme have been invited to take part in its "Clubcard Challenges" game, which is running between now and March 9.

Eligible customers have been invited to participate via email or through a banner on their Tesco Clubcard app. 

By signing up, participants will receive 20 personalised challenges over the promotional period, of which they can complete up to 10.

Each completed challenge will reward shoppers with extra Clubcard points, potentially totalling up to £50.

The challenges are tailored to individual spending habits and are in addition to any personalised offers and deals already available through the app or email.

However, the amount customers need to spend to complete each challenge will vary, depending on the individual.

This offer is particularly beneficial for those who were already planning to shop in the specified categories, as it allows them to earn extra points on their usual purchases.

However, consumer groups have previously cautioned that such schemes can encourage overspending, potentially leading households to exceed their budgets.

Some members have also expressed frustration on social media, noting that the challenges don't always align with their regular shopping habits.

One shopper said on Facebook: "Mine are rubbish, most of the items are stuff that I never buy.

"I thought these challenges are based on what you buy in your shopping..."

Another said: "Totally agree. I just looked at mine and all the challenges are products I never buy.

"It's pointless doing it as I won't get any extra points."

A third said: ";Oh totally pointless for me."

For those looking to maximise their rewards, we've compiled a list of ten additional ways to earn points, including partnerships with Ovo Energy, Vauxhall, and Inkjet Recycling.

These opportunities allow Clubcard members to accumulate points through a variety of spending options.

How does Tesco's Clubcard work?

Tesco's Clubcard scheme allows shoppers to earn points as they shop, these points can then be turned into vouchers for money off food or other reward partner schemes. 

When you spend £1 in-store or online, you get one point when you scan your card or app at the checkout.

Drivers using Clubcards now get one point for every two litres spent on fuel.

You can also double their worth when you swap them for discounts with "reward partners".

For example, you can turn your vouchers into a 3 month Disney+ Standard With Ads subscription.

RECLAIM LOST CLUBCARD POINTS

MANY people lose or forget to use their Tesco vouchers, but there's an easy way to claw back the last two years of unused vouchers.

Here's exactly how to find out if you have any unused vouchers.

The first step is to log into your Tesco Clubcard account on Tesco.com or via the Clubcard app.

You'll need your name, email address and Clubcard number to hand.

Once you've logged in, navigate to "My Clubcard Account" and then click on "Vouchers" to see a full list of any vouchers you still have to spend.

You can use the code included in your voucher to spend online.

If you want to redeem them in-store, you'll need to print them off and take them with you.
