When someone dies, notifying Tesco Clubcard is one of the key tasks for the executor or next of kin. This guide explains exactly who to contact, what to say, what documents you will need, and how long Tesco Clubcard takes to process a bereavement notification.
Tesco Clubcard bereavement contact details
Phone: 0800 591 688 — Mon–Sun 9am–5pm
Online: Tesco Clubcard help
Call 0800 591 688 or use the online help centre to notify Tesco of the death and request closure of the Clubcard account.
You will need a copy of the death certificate and the Tesco Clubcard number or email address associated with the account.
Check whether there is a remaining Clubcard points balance. Clubcard vouchers can be used in Tesco stores and with partner rewards — ask about the options.
If the deceased had a Tesco Clubcard Plus subscription, cancel this to stop further charges.
Tesco will confirm account closure. The process typically takes 1–2 weeks.
Have multiple certified copies of the death certificate ready. Banks and financial institutions each require an original or certified copy — you cannot usually pass a single copy between organisations. See our guide to how many death certificates you need.
Tesco Clubcard typically takes 1–2 weeks to process a bereavement notification once all required documents have been received.
During this period, accounts or services will typically be frozen until the estate is administered. This means no new transactions can be authorised.
Once Tesco Clubcard receives your notification and confirms receipt, the account or service will be frozen and no new transactions will be authorised. Estate administration can then begin.
Tesco Clubcard will confirm receipt of your notification and advise you of any next steps required to close or transfer the account or policy. Keep a record of all correspondence and reference numbers for the estate file.
Do not delay notifying Tesco Clubcard
Direct debits and standing orders may continue to be charged after death. Some organisations treat the estate as the debtor for any charges incurred before notification. Notifying Tesco Clubcard promptly protects the estate from unnecessary costs.
