This guide has not been checked against its sources
We re-checked our most-read guides against GOV.UK and the other official sources in September 2026. This one was not among them, so nobody has confirmed its figures, deadlines or process steps since it was written. Treat it as a starting point and confirm anything that matters on GOV.UK before you act on it.
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's help page ‘Closing an account for someone who has died’ asks you to contact the Clubcard team or fill in its short account closure form. There is no dedicated Clubcard bereavement phone line.
Tesco's Clubcard terms say a family member may inherit the points, or the value in points of the vouchers, of a member who has died, by giving Tesco the deceased's membership details. Do this before the account is closed, and check the expiry dates on any vouchers already issued.
If the deceased had a Clubcard Christmas Savers account, Tesco asks you to call 0800 591 688. You will need evidence of the death and of your entitlement, such as a grant of probate or grant of representation. Tesco says any money due is held in trust for the beneficiary and forms part of the estate.
If the deceased subscribed to Clubcard Plus, cancel it to stop the monthly charge. Tesco Mobile and Tesco Bank accounts are separate from the Clubcard and have to be notified in their own right.
Ask Tesco to confirm the closure in writing or by email, and keep the confirmation with the estate paperwork.
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 does not publish a processing time, so we do not give one. Ask when you notify them, and ask for a reference so you can chase it.
Accounts or services are usually frozen until the estate is administered, which means no new transactions can be authorised.
Tesco publishes no timescale for closing the account of someone who has died, so the figure above is indicative only.
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.
