Expert gives tips on Tesco Club Cards

Tesco has doubled the amount of points it gives out to club card customers at its stores.
Consumers looking to make the most of the Tesco Club Card may want to take advantage of a new offer which doubles any points earned for spending at the supermarket giant, according to one expert.Writing for the Guardian, Jill Papworth explained that for every £1 spent in-store or online at Tesco, club card holders can now get two points rather than one back – with 100 points exchangeable for £1 off any subsequent purchases.
The points can even be swapped for tokens valid at Tesco's partner companies, worth up to four-times their face value and Ms Papworth claims this is the most easy way to save money using the club cards.
She also advised combining already-exisiting deals from the supermarket firm, such as a current half-price discount on wine.
"You can get six-bottle cases, already at a 50 per cent discount, for as little as £14," the expert said.
She added: "About the best-value partner deals are at Pizza Express, where you can swap a £2.50 Club Card voucher for a £10 token to spend in its restaurants."
Those hoping to escape the UK as the colder weather begins to set in are turning to discount voucher codes offered by various travel firms and websites, the Times recently reported.
Theme parks, hotels and airlines are all getting in on the trend for discount voucher codes, unique combinations of letters and numbers which allow online shoppers to get money off when they come to check out.
