Tesco Clubcard shoppers can unlock 5,000 bonus points with Virgin before Monday with one simple change.
To bag the huge points bonus, shoppers simply need to swap their Tesco Clubcard points for Virgin points by 11.59pm deadline on May 10 (so before Monday), and this will then give them access to an array of experiences with Virgin Red (Virgin’s rewards club), including hotel stays, flights, cruises and VIP nights out. Shoppers simply need to sign up to auto-exchange their Tesco Clubcard points into Virgin points for the first time before the clock strikes midnight on May 10 – and they will be rewarded with a 5,000 points bonus. Clubcard points will then automatically be converted into Virgin Points with each quarterly Clubcard statement.
But the points bonus isn’t the only incentive to sign up, as every Tesco Clubcard point is worth two points with Virgin, so shoppers can essentially double their points value.
For example, when you turn 400 Clubcard points into Virgin Points, you’ll get 800 Virgin points in return, so it’s an easy way to make your money go further.
Tesco Clubcard members can join Virgin Red for free and start collecting Virgin Points straight away to spend on various trips and treats. Clubcard members just need to log in to Virgin Red and follow the instructions to sign up for auto-exchange.
Members must remain signed up to automatically exchange their Clubcard points into Virgin Points on May 10, 2026, and must have at least 250 Clubcard points in their account to qualify for the bonus, which will be awarded by June 14, 2026.
Tesco said: “Can bread get you to the beach? Can potatoes get you in the pool? Can sugar get you some sun? The answer is… yes.
