Many Boots Advantage card holders have a few days left to make sure they keep hold of all the loyalty points they have built up. Anyone who's used their card within the last year is unaffected and their points are safe.
But for those who haven't, they need to visit a Boots store or go online to boots.com and use their card before next Monday, June 20. Those customers then have to make sure they use the card at least once a year, every year to ensure reward points aren't lost, reports Chronicle Live.
Boots is headquartered at Beeston and its Advantage Card is one of the UK's most popular store loyalty schemes. Prior to this most recent change, card holders had to ensure their card was scanned once every two years to remain valid.

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."
