Tesco has launched its first-ever Clubcard for teenagers, ending a 31-year rule that prohibited anyone under 18 from signing up. The new scheme allows 16 and 17-year-olds to access Clubcard Prices and collect points, but only if invited by a parent or guardian through the Tesco app.
Who Can Sign Up and How
Only 16 and 17-year-olds are eligible, and they must be invited by a parent or guardian who already has a Clubcard account. The 'invite to Clubcard' option is available in the settings section of the app, but only on the latest version. Teens will not receive a physical card; membership is digital via the app or website. The card can only be used in-store or at petrol stations, not online.
Perks and Benefits
Members can access Clubcard Prices in Tesco stores (excluding some age-restricted items) and collect points that convert into vouchers for money off shopping. Shama Wilson, Tesco Group membership & loyalty director, 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.'
