Martin Lewis' MSE team is back once more to issue Brits a warning and this time, it's all about the Tesco Clubcard.
Ah Martin Lewis, the Money Saving Expert, a man for the people... whatever you want to call him, there's no denying that he and his team are responsible for a lot of us saving those pennies every month.
Whether he's making us realise we're actually owed hundreds of pounds, or issuing a £520 compensation warning to those who've flown in the last six years, Lewis is always about to assist with our financial woes.

Even if it means saving a couple of quid on the weekly shop, he's always on hand.
And now, Lewis' Money Saving Expert team has a warning for those who rely on Tesco's infamous Clubcard.
A two-week warning
On Lewis' MSE website, a two-week warning has been given to Clubcard holders over vouchers that may soon expire.

"If you've got a Tesco Clubcard, check when your vouchers are due to expire as there are two weeks left to spend or extend nearly £17 million-worth before they run out on Friday 31 May," the warning reads.
"In addition, more than £27 million in 'Reward Partner' codes – vouchers that have been exchanged to spend at various third party retailers – are set to expire over the next four weeks."
How to check if you have vouchers that will soon expire
As per the MSE website, Clubcard vouchers are valid for two years from the date they were issued. If you're unsure when yours expire and you've still got them in paper format, check the date on the voucher itself.

If you've lost your paper vouchers, or are unsure if you had any in the first place, you can check on the Tesco Clubcard site or app.
Double the value of your vouchers
By spending the vouchers at Tescos 'Reward Partners', such as Bella Italia, Chessington World of Adventures, and Disney+, the value can be doubled.
For example, 500 points are usually worth £5 to spend at Tesco, but if you exchange your vouchers for codes to spend with a Reward Partner, 500 points become £10.

Try to extend them
While vouchers are valid for two years, if you don't want to spend them just yet, you could try and extend them which has to be done by 11.59pm on Friday 31 May.
MSE states you can either:
Advert
- Make a small purchase on the Tesco Clubcard Rewards page (not in store or on other Tesco pages), or donate to one of its partnered charities.
- Swap points for vouchers manually, or wait for them to be converted with your next statement.
- There's no minimum spend, but the aim is to fork out as little as possible. A good option might be a 50p restaurant voucher (worth £1 at your chosen restaurant).
As Tesco says, every little helps!
