Tesco has scrapped a feature allowing its loyalty card holders to pay in store using its Clubcard app.
Until now, loyalty scheme members had been able to open the app and select ‘Pay in-store’ to pay for their shopping and collect Clubcard points.
However, Tesco has emailed members saying the feature is being phased out.
It said following the rise in popularity of alternative payment methods it had taken the decision to withdraw the pay in-store feature on the Tesco app from 7 March.
A Tesco spokesman said: “We regularly review the payment options available to our customers.
“It’s still quick and easy to earn points on your shopping and fuel and enjoy Clubcard Prices offers by tapping your Clubcard in-store, scanning it via the Tesco App, or by adding it to your Apple or Google wallet.”
The email sent to customers said: “To ensure we’re able to keep bringing out the best value and convenience, we’ve taken the decision to remove the pay in-store feature, formally known as Tesco Pay+, from the Tesco app.
“Between now and March 7, the pay in-store feature will be phased out and any linked card details will be removed, unless you’re using them for GetGo, Whoosh, or home delivery shopping.
“So next time you’re in-store, you’ll need to pay separately after scanning your Clubcard. You can still earn points and access Clubcard Prices by simply scanning your Clubcard or app at the till.”
