Tesco has announced a major change to its Clubcard loyalty scheme, allowing 16 and 17-year-olds to sign up for the first time in 31 years. Previously, the scheme was restricted to those aged 18 and over.
The new 'Clubcard for Teens' requires a parent or guardian who already holds a Clubcard account to invite the teenager to join. The invitation can be sent via the settings section of the Tesco Clubcard app, but only users with the latest version will have access to this feature.
Teen members will not receive a physical card; instead, they can use the scheme through the Tesco app or website. The card can be used in-store or at petrol stations, but not for online shopping.
Benefits include access to Clubcard Prices on most items (excluding age-restricted products) and the ability to collect points that can be converted into vouchers for money off future shopping. Shama Wilson, Tesco's Group Membership & Loyalty Director, said the move aims to give younger customers access to the scheme for the first time, highlighting the popular lunchtime meal deal at £3.85.
