Tesco launches brand new clubcard from today – 30 years since the original

Tesco has launched a new Clubcard available today, 30 years since starting the famous loyalty scheme. The supermarket giant will offer its thousands of discount prices and membership points to the under 18s for the first time with a card specifically designed for 16 to 17-year-olds.

The launch of the new Tesco card came earlier today (June 24) and will allow access to Clubcard prices for 16 and 17-year-olds for the first time. They can also access the clubcard points system that can be converted into vouchers for money off at the checkout. All an applicant has to do is be invited to join from the Clubcard account of a parent or guardian.

Tesco Group Membership & Loyalty Director Shama Wilson said: "We are delighted to be giving younger customers access to Tesco Clubcard for the first time, and we have no doubt that it will prove popular with 16 and 17-year-olds, whether they are shopping in one of our ‘big Tesco’ or ‘little Tesco’ stores.

"From today our new Clubcard for 16-17s members will not only be able to get Clubcard Prices in-store, including our iconic Tesco lunchtime meal deal for just £3.85, but also collect points that they can turn into vouchers for money off their in-store shopping."

The ‘Invite to Clubcard’ button will only be visible to Clubcard members using the latest version of the app. Those who cannot find the button are advised to update their app if it is not showing.

The easiest way to access the new Clubcard for 16-17s is for a parent or guardian to click on the identity icon in the top corner of their Tesco app, which allows them to access their account settings.

In the account settings section, they can then click on the ‘Invite to Clubcard’ button and choose the option to send a sign-up link to their 16 or 17-year-old.

Tesco Clubcard is the most popular supermarket loyalty scheme in the UK and has been running for more than 30 years. Today more than 24m UK households have a Tesco Clubcard, with a Clubcard used in more than 80% of sales at Tesco and thousands of Clubcard Prices offers in Tesco stores each week.
