Tesco has delayed changes to its loyalty rewards scheme, following an angry reaction from its customers and consumer groups.

The supermarket chain wrote to millions of Clubcard users earlier this week, informing them it had “simplified” its rewards scheme.

The changes, originally were due to come into effect without notice from this Monday, would involve ending deals which offered customers twice the value and four times the value of their vouchers with partner firms such as PizzaExpress and Cafe Rouge.

Instead, cardholders would be offered three times the face value of their vouchers as standard.

But outraged shoppers argued that they stood to gain less for their points, with those hoping to get four times the value of their vouchers at attractions such as London Zoo missing out.
