TESCO shoppers have been issued a warning over £20million worth of Clubcard voucher codes set to expire.
The UK's largest supermarket is urging loyalty card customers to use any Reward Partner codes within the next three weeks.
Tesco's Clubcard scheme works by offering you points on any purchases made in store or online.
These points can then be used to get money off future shops.
But you can also increase the value of the points by redeeming them with one of Tesco's partners.
Rewards partners are companies Tesco works with including Disney+, the RAC, as well as a range of hotels and restaurants.

To redeem points with partners, you have to turn them into vouchers, then into Partner Reward codes.
Clubcard points changed into Reward Partner codes usually need to be redeemed within six months.
Now, Tesco is warning there is £20million worth of codes which have been requested but not redeemed.
It is urging customers to use them up before they become invalid in a few weeks' time.
It is understood some, but not all, of the Rewards Partner codes are worth triple value.
This is because points redeemed with partners used to be worth triple their face value, until this was changed to double last June.
When Tesco announced the change last year, it said any codes redeemed before the June 13 deadline would be valid for a year, instead of six months.
That means anyone who requested the codes before this deadline has just a few weeks left to redeem them.
Ashwin Prasad, Tesco's chief commercial officer, said: “This half term we know that there will be customers who would like to be able to afford that extra day out or a meal out with the family.
"But we also know that many Clubcard customers could have Reward Partner codes to allow them to do just that, which they will lose if they do not use in the coming weeks.
"I would encourage all our Clubcard holders to check to see if they have a reward code to use up, because we don’t want anyone to miss out."
Tesco has emailed customers asking if they have codes that are due to expire.
How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain...
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
It is also urging shoppers to use the Tesco Grocery and Clubcard app to check if any of their reward codes are nearing expiration.
It comes as the chain warned Clubcard holders earlier this month to use up £17million worth of vouchers before they expire on May 31.
How does Tesco's Clubcard work?
You earn points as you shop, which can then be turned into vouchers for money off food or with Reward partners.
You earn one point for each £1 spent, and each point is then worth 1p.
So 150 points gets you £1.50, and you would have to spend £150 to get 150 points.
You need a minimum of 150 points to request a voucher.
Any vouchers are worth their face value when used in-store at Tesco.
But you can double their worth by spending them at one of the supermarket chain's partners.
Any Clubcard points turned into vouchers expire after two years.
Any vouchers transferred into Reward Partner codes expire after six months.
Loyalty card holders also get access to over 8,000 items for less through Clubcard Prices.
