In mid-2025, Tesco launched a refreshed “Tesco Tuesdays” Clubcard reward in partnership with Cineworld, giving members the chance to redeem Clubcard vouchers for greatly discounted 2D movie tickets. The offer essentially doubles the value of the vouchers when used for Cineworld tickets on Tuesdays. But like any promotional reward, it comes with fine print, conditions, and rules. Here’s everything you need to know.

1. What the Offer Is: Basics & Value

• The core of the offer: Tesco Clubcard vouchers can be exchanged for a Cineworld reward code that gives you a £5 2D movie ticket in exchange for £2.50 in vouchers. In effect, your vouchers go twice as far.
  
• This deal is meant for Tuesday screenings (hence “Tesco Tuesdays”), the cinema ticket must be for a showing on a Tuesday.
  
• Up to 4 tickets per transaction / booking can be redeemed using this offer.
  
• The vouchers must be redeemed online via Cineworld’s booking site (or website) using a “Tesco Clubcard partner code.” You cannot redeem this in person at the cinema box office or via physical ticket machines.
  
• It’s not a temporary flash deal, Tesco is positioning it as an ongoing weekly benefit for Clubcard members.
  

2. Terms, Limits & Conditions (The Fine Print)

Redemption & Delivery

• Booking method: You must book online at Cineworld’s website (www.cineworld.com or app) and during the booking process select the Tesco Clubcard Partner Code / voucher option.
  
• In-cinema redemption is not allowed. You can’t walk into the cinema and present vouchers or codes via ticket machines or box offices to benefit from this offer.
  
• Minimum voucher usage: The minimum amount of Clubcard vouchers that can be redeemed is 50p (which becomes £1 in value for Cineworld).
  
• Ticket formats eligible: Only standard 2D screenings are included. Premium formats (IMAX, 4DX, 3D, recliner seats, etc.) are typically excluded or may require supplementary payment.
  
• Online booking fees apply. When booking online, a booking service fee (e.g. ~95p per ticket) may be added.
  
• Offer subject to availability and cinema participation. Not all Cineworld locations or showtimes may participate.
  
• Limited tickets per transaction. Up to 4 Clubcard tickets per booking.
  

Validity & Expiry

• The offer is tied to Tuesday screenings only; it is not valid for other days.
  
• Tesco’s published documents (e.g. “Clubcard 30 Years of Rewards”) confirm that members may redeem vouchers for Cineworld 2D tickets, specifying windows and eligibility.
  
• Codes / partner vouchers likely have an expiry or must be used within a certain timeframe post-issuance (as is common with reward partner codes), though exact expiry periods depend on the Cineworld / Tesco policy. (Standard partner code expiry rules typically apply.)
  

Exclusions & Restrictions

• Cannot redeem in person. The deal is only valid through online booking.
  
• No cash alternative. You cannot get money back; the benefit must be used as ticket credit.
  
• Not combinable with some offers. It may not stack with some other Cineworld discounts or promotions.
  
• Cineworld reserves right to withdraw or amend the promotion at any time without notice.
  
• Subject to Cineworld’s general terms & conditions and cinema entry rules.
  

3. Why This Deal Is Attractive & Strategic

• Double voucher value: Tesco maintains internal voucher redemption rates (e.g. in-store shopping) but with this, your coupons go twice as far.
  
• Encourages midweek cinema attendance (Tuesdays are traditionally a lower-attendance day), beneficial for cinemas.
  
• Strengthens Clubcard loyalty by offering more than grocery savings, a lifestyle benefit.
  
• Accessible to many: even if a user has a small voucher balance (50p), they can redeem something.
  

4. Walkthrough: How to Redeem Step by Step

1. Log in to your Tesco Clubcard account and access the Rewards / Vouchers section.
   
2. Choose to redeem vouchers for a Cineworld reward code (at £5 value for £2.50 of vouchers).
   
3. Receive the partner code / voucher via email or your reward account.
   
4. Head to Cineworld’s website or app, pick cinema, film, time (on a Tuesday), seats.
   
5. During checkout, choose “Tesco Clubcard Partner Code” option and input your code.
   
6. The voucher credit applies; pay any difference if needed (though in most cases for standard 2D tickets there’s no balance to pay).
   
7. Use the ticket (e-ticket or code) for the Tuesday screening.
   

5. Real vs Reported: What Has Changed

• Tesco’s official help page notes this promotion as part of their 30th anniversary celebrations where £5 tickets via voucher exchange were allowed between 9–30 September 2025.
  
• Cineworld’s site previously listed a similar Cineworld / Tesco Tickets page with terms that said the vouchers are valid for 2D film screenings every day (earlier policies).
  
• However, the push now emphasizes the Tuesday-only redemption for this double value deal.
  
• Some older deals (e.g. Cinema voucher promotions) allowed daily usage; the new “Tesco Tuesdays” is a more exclusive version.
  

6. Things to Watch & Caveats

• Code Validity & Redemption Window: Immediately use the code for a Tuesday showtime; codes not used likely expire.
  
• Booking Fees: Even with the voucher, online booking usually adds a service fee (~95p per ticket) in Cineworld’s system.
  
• Cinema & Format Exclusions: If your preferred cinema doesn’t participate or only screens 3D/IMAX, the voucher won’t work.
  
• Monitoring Changes: Tesco or Cineworld may change or withdraw this offer, so check the official terms before redeeming.
  
• Voucher Balance: Make sure you have sufficient Clubcard vouchers in your account and that they’re not expired.
  
• One-time use per code: Often, partner codes can only be used once per transaction.
  

7. Example Use Case

Jane is a Clubcard member with £3.50 in vouchers. On a Monday, she redeems £2.50 for a Cineworld code that gives her a £5 ticket. The next day (Tuesday), she goes online to Cineworld, picks a Tuesday showtime, inputs her code, pays the booking fee, and in exchange theatrically watches a 2D film in a participating cinema at that discounted rate. She could do this up to 4 tickets in one booking.
