Tesco shoppers upset as supermarket issues £83 Clubcard warning

Supermarket giant Tesco has left shoppers 'gutted' with its latest Clubcard announcement. It will affect around 19 million people who currently have a Clubcard in the UK.

Under the current system, shoppers are able to purchase a yearly delivery pass worth £83.33 for £27.77 using their Clubcard points - which are worth triple their usual amount for delivery passes.

But, from November 14, the vouchers will only be worth their face value when buying delivery passes. Currently, customers can redeem Tesco Clubcard points to save on their deliveries using a Delivery Saver Code scheme.

For every 50p in Clubcard vouchers, shoppers can redeem £1.50 in reward partner codes to use against the cost of any delivery plan. For anyone wanting to purchase the most expensive plan - the £83.33 yearly payment - they would only have to use £28 of their Clubcard vouchers.

However, shoppers were sent an email on Tuesday from the supermarket giant, alerting them to the changes in the Delivery Saver Code scheme. The email gave them a three month deadline to use delivery codes in exchange for a bargain pass.

Tesco delivery plans vary from six to 12 month passes. The 12 month membership includes off-peak plans (delivering next day after 3pm) costing £47.88 or the most expensive any-time pass for an annual fee of £83.88, says the Mirror.

And @Steve_with_a_p added: "Very disappointed with email just received about clubcard voucher only having 1x value instead of 3x for Delivery Saver Plans. Once next renewal ends I'll have to cancel.
