“part payment fiasco”
Written on: 24/11/2012
I was about to spend my points today on a Christmas gift in boots in Cork, Ireland. I only then discovered the point payment fiasco. No other loyalty card that I know of imposes this condition. Loyalty cards are an effort to retain customers but if I can buy an item for 2 cents(or pence)cheaper nearby I have my saving at once and I get the loyalty points from that store, if they operate one, so a double incentive not to buy at Boots. The item I wished to buy was cheaper else where but not if... (read more)

“The best loyalty card created yet!”
Written on: 22/09/2012
The card has given me an incentive to go back to the store and not go to other places like Superdrug who sell similar items to Boots. I have had a few 'free' gifts from the card now which makes me want to go back and buy everything i need in their store. (read more)

“Great loyalty card”
Written on: 08/06/2012
Love this loyalty card, builds up points fast and it's great fun when you can essentially get an item for 'free' when paying with points! Don't know why some people are complaining about not being able to do part-payments. Just spend the points on something smaller, it all works out the same at the end of the day! The special offers kiosks are great as well, don't know anywhere else that does something like that and I've gotten lots of extra points and even free items from vouchers at the... (read more)

Written on: 19/12/2011 by erindevlin
i think its really unfair that you cant use your boots card as a part payment, its your money and you should be allowed to use it for what you want especially around christmas, its the only card that i have that does not let you use it for a part payment, think they should change there policy, (read more)

Written on: 27/09/2010 by erena (102 reviews written)
I shop a lot at Boots and having the advantage card has helped me save money on many occasions. Shopping there regularly collects me points and when they've built up I get small things like nail polish, shower gels, body lotions, etc for basically free as I use my collected points. I often receive vouchers through the post which get me double points when I make a purchase over a certain amount. My advice would be to get the Boots advantage card and start shopping at Boots. They have a... (read more)

“I think the Boots Advantage Cards are brilliant....”
Written on: 02/06/2009
I think the Boots Advantage Cards are brilliant. People often complain that you cannot use part-payment when redeeming, but is this really even a big deal? At 4 points per £1.00 in store, you can hardly complain - either way, you're getting free stuff! On certain promotional days (usuallly around Christmas) you get 1000points free for every £50 spent in store. And, the in-store kiosks have fantastic offers, for example, everytime you spend over £25, you get 200points free.
They're easy to...

Written on: 24/04/2009 by speakout (86 reviews written)
I think this is the best loyalty scheme available to consumers today and definitely helps Boots to maintain market share and retain customer loyalty. The Boots Advantage Card is dead easy to use, you just hand it over when paying for goods at the till point and you can either have the points added to your card or you can redeem existing points to purchase the things you need. It should be noted though that not all goods in Boots can be purchased using the points you may have on your Boots... (read more)

Written on: 01/04/2009 by Susan Parker
The Boots loyalty card may be generous but Boots have an unacceptable policy of not allowing shoppers to redeem points on goods that cost more than the value of the points.
I tried to redeem £9.50 worth of points on a set of electrical toothbrushes this morning, and found I couldn't. So I ended up paying the full price on the item, costing me over £22. :(
This is very untypical of loyalty card schemes.

Written on: 28/03/2009 by From my experience
The Boots advantage card is advertised as the most generous loyalty card in the UK. However, I recently discovered at the till that you cannot use it for part payment of a product. I bought a porduct for £40. I wanted to use my £20 worth of points towards the payment, but was told I can't!
So, if I buy a product that costs £20.01, I cannot use any of my Advantage card points towards the payment . . . !!!!!!!
Perhaps, not so generous after all. Why don't they widely advertise that...

A Boots Advantage card can be used at any Boots store to collect points every time you make a purchase, even if you are buying just one item! Boots Advantage Card is the most generous loyalty card in the UK which gives you 4 points for every £1 that you spend in store or online.
I think this card is fantastic, not only is it free but they are also rewarding you for spending in their store. The Triple and double points events are brilliant to get lots of extra points and its get to use the...

Love 'em or hate 'em, it has to be said, loyalty cards are here to stay. Those cynics out there will no doubt see them as yet another example of "Surveillance Britain" and complain that all these cards do is let the powers that be know what we buy, how often and where ....
Well ok, this is true but look at it from the retailer's view .. what a wonderful tool for keeping tabs on what we buy and what we don't, how often we purchase the same product, which people in which parts of the country...

Written on: 17/02/2006 by brett4243 (1 review written)
On a recent visit to Boots I discovered my Advantage card missing from my wallet. I contacted Boots to be told my points had been redeemed. As all my other cards were intact it is possible that it was not returned to me and fraudulently used. There is no id check on point redemption. It is easy and almost undetectable for dishonest staff to keep the card, especially if it's a cash payment and they don't swipe the card resulting in a completely untraceable transaction. (read more)

Written on: 16/09/2004 by vherbertsmith (25 reviews written)
Everyone should have one of the Boots loyalty cards. I've had one for years and I use it to buy baby products, sun creams and special pampering bits that I may not otherwise get. I have also managed to get a hairdryer and three hair straightners just by collecting points. The card is very easy to set up and you can even register as an organ donor via it. The machines in store provide extra points off vouchers. This outweighs all other cards by far and it must work for Boots as well. I know... (read more)

Written on: 07/09/2004 by zoemlamb (2 reviews written)
At Boots you can receive 4 points when you spend £1.00, but if you use the advantage machine in the larger stores you can get money off vouchers and lots of extra points which you can spend on almost anything. At Christmas they have a vast amount of gifts and toys on 3 for 2 which not only saves you money but you also get the points on top of the fact as a cardholder you get invited to store promotions offering you special offers and a free gift bag with substantial points if you buy at the...

Boots has the best loyalty card scheme in my opinion. It is so simple and very generous. You get 4 points for every pound spent and then an redeem these by presenting your card at checkout on most items. Very good if you shop for holiday items or buy your lunch there as they soon add up (read more)

Written on: 09/09/2003 by smithster (2 reviews written)
The Boots Advantage Card offers its users 4p back for every pound you spend in a pharmacy and 1p back for all other shops. Whilst Boots have brought out new tempoary cards not all outlets have them and it is alot of hassle transfering your points from the tempoary card to your new card.
All in all this is a good card with many unique features.
