Boots card holders urged to take action now before they lose their points forever

Some Boots reward card holders are at risk of losing all their Advantage points for good if they fail to have their card scanned this week.

If you haven't used your loyalty card in the last year, you need to make sure you visit a Boots store or go online to boots.com before the end of the week.

If you've used your card within the last year, your points are safe - but from Monday, June 20 anyone who hasn't done so will lose every point they've accumulated.

You'll then have to make sure you use the card at least once a year, every year to ensure you hold onto your points. And if you don't use your card for more than four years then your account will be closed.

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.

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."
