The value of exchanging Clubcard vouchers for Tesco Mobile vouchers has been cut from 8.59am today (15 June).

The change means that as of 15 June, customers will only be able to exchange Clubcard vouchers at face value to spend at Tesco mobile, meaning 50p worth of vouchers will be worth 50p off your bill.

Previously, Clubcard holders could exchange 50p worth of vouchers for £1 off their Tesco Mobile bill.
