Take Advantage!

Advantages: Points to spend instore to treat yourself
Disadvantages: If you use online you need to collect points instore

I have been a member of the Boots Advantage Scheme now for many years, if the shop has a loyalty scheme I will probably be a member! Its completely free to have a Boots Advantage Card and you earn 4 points per pound spent and each point is worth 1p for you to spend instore. There is no minimum amount you have to collect before you can spend your points but you do have to pay for a product in full with your points so if you wanted a £10 Mascara but only had 749 points you would have to pay with cash. Boots often have special promotions instore where you can collect more points and its always worth checking out the instore Advantage machines. On my last trip to Boots I was going to buy some perfume and was entitled to 250 points just for spending over £25 so this was a nice extra on something I wanted anyway. You can also use your ...

Review of Boots Advantage Card

Take advantage

Advantages: Points build up quickly - trade in for free items!
Disadvantages: Not all products in store available on points, and Boots a little more expensive than its rivals

, with a smart chip embedded in the card, meaning that unlike reward services such as Sainsburys, you can redeem your points at any Boots in the country, which is very useful if you’re a student and live away from home for most of the year, or if you see something better in a Boots which is larger than your local store.

So for every tenner that you spend, that’s 40p on the card – doesn’t sound like much, but believe me, will add up quicker than you think if you’re a frequent shopper at Boots, and take advantage of all their special offers (more on these later!). Points are not available on every single item in the store however – medicines, stamps and mobile phone vouchers are exempt, which is ...

Review of Boots Advantage Card

take advantage of Boots

Advantages: free products
Disadvantages: not all products are available under the scheme

treats – there is a booklet detailing special offers of non-Boots treats such as a day at a health spa. When you want to redeem your points, you simply take the product you want to buy off the shelf, take it to a till, hand it over with your advantage card and tell the assistant you want to pay with points - simple as that! A new way of earning points has recently been introduced to most stores – the Advantage point. This is a machine that you insert your card into and it gives details of special offers around the store together with money off vouchers and extra points coupons. These offers are exclusive to the Advantage point so if you don’t visit it, you don’t find out about them! When I visited yesterday, some of the offers available were  Double points if you spend over £20  10 points per ...
