Families looking for summer holiday entertainment can use Tesco Clubcard points to get a three-month Disney+ subscription for £9 in vouchers. The Standard With Ads plan is normally £5.99 a month, so three months would cost £18 without the Clubcard reward.
Shoppers earn one Clubcard point for every £1 spent at Tesco, and those points are usually worth 1p each when converted to vouchers. Spent with a Tesco reward partner such as Disney+, the vouchers are worth double their face value, meaning £9 vouchers cover a deal that would otherwise need £18 of points.
Earning enough points
Because every £1 spent earns a point, a shopper needs to have spent £900 at Tesco to build up £9 in vouchers. The average weekly food shop for a family of four in the UK is more than £100, so the points can be collected within a few weeks.
Standard Disney+ plan option
Clubcard members with a larger balance can spend £15 in vouchers on a Disney+ 3-month Standard Subscription. That plan usually costs £9.99 a month, removes adverts and allows downloads on up to 10 devices.
What to watch on Disney+
The service features films and shows from Disney, Pixar, Star Wars and Marvel. Recent titles for younger viewers include the live-action Lilo & Stitch and Zootopia 2, plus Marvel movies such as Thunderbolts and The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Classic family films on the platform include Mary Poppins, 101 Dalmatians, Aladdin, Moana and Wall-E.
For adults, recent big-screen releases include Avatar: Fire And Ash and The Devil Wears Prada 2. There are also binge-worthy series such as 24, 30 Rock and season five of The Bear.

How Disney+ compares with rivals
Disney+ Standard With Ads costs £5.99 a month, matching the ad-supported Netflix plan. Netflix's standard tier without adverts is £12.99 a month. Apple TV+ is priced at £9.99 a month with no ad-supported alternative currently available. Amazon Prime Video costs £8.99 a month as part of an Amazon Prime membership, which also includes free express delivery and shopping discounts, and offers a 30-day free trial. Amazon requires an additional monthly fee for subscribers who want to remove adverts.
What subscribers say
Reviews on Trustpilot are mostly positive. One subscriber said: "I have been a subscriber since it launched in the UK and for me the experience has only got better since the introduction of Hulu. I find the catalogue is huge and there is always something for me and my family to watch."
Another said: "Very good selection, friendly support and easy to cancel if you need to. Very easy to navigate the site."
A third added: "Love it! All the classic Disney content we had when we were kids is now available for our kids."
One customer was less impressed with the ads, writing: "I like Disney+, it allows me to watch some of my favourite shows that I can't watch anywhere else. But what's with the ads? I know that a lot of streaming sites have ads, but come on, this is way too much."
Tesco's Clubcard offers are available on the Tesco website.
