We make £180 a year for holidays

RETIRED social worker Glynis Campbell, 69, and husband Peter, 73, a former trading standards senior manager, enjoy weekends away using their Tesco Clubcard.

The couple, from Harlow, Essex, who joined the scheme when it launched in 1995, do all their regular shopping at their local branch and gain extra points via Tesco Bank credit cards and Tesco Mobile contracts.

Glynis, a mother of four and a grandmother of five, says: ‘It all adds up. We get around 500 points a month, which is about £5 to spend in-store, but you can get three times the value by exchanging them for rewards.

‘That makes us about £15 a month, or £180 a year, which is great for holidays. We have the odd weekend away at a Best Western hotel; a meal at our local Chef & Brewer pub; or a day out, such as a trip to Exmoor Zoo. It’s really handy during vacations.’
