If you've got a Boots Advantage card that you've not used in a while, you're being encouraged to take action so you don't lose your points. Holders have less than a week to make sure they don't lose their points.
Anyone who has used their card in the last year will be safe, but those who haven't need to visit a store or go to boots.com and use their card by Monday, June 20. This is because the cards need to be used once a year to maintain the balance.
Boots will wipe balances if not. If a card isn't used for four years, the account will be closed, reports ChronicleLive.
Prior to this most recent change, Boots Advantage card holders had to ensure their card was scanned once every two years to ensure your points stayed valid. You don't have to spend your points, just make sure your card has been used.
The Boots loyalty card is one of the more generous loyalty cards in the marketplace, with cardholders getting four reward points for every £1 spent in-store or online. Each point is worth roughly 1p and they can be redeemed in-store and online.
To get a Boots Advantage card, sign up by either downloading the Boots app and signing up to the Advantage Card digitally, or by subscribing for a Boots Advantage card in-store.
In an email to customers explaining the change, Boots said: "Thank you for being one of our valued Boots Advantage Card members. Whilst it won’t impact you as a regular Boots shopper, we need to let you know that we’re updating our Boots Advantage Card terms and conditions.
"From 20th June 2022, we will remove Boots Advantage Card points from accounts that haven’t been used for one year, instead of the current two-year period. As long as you shop with your Boots Advantage Card at least once a year, your points will always be there ready for you to use them."
