Boots card holders have just six days before they lose their points

Boots reward card holders have just under a week to make sure they keep all of the Advantage points they have accumulated to spend in store.

If you've used your card within the last year, your points are safe, but if you haven't, you will need to visit a Boots store or go online to boots.com and use your card before next Monday, June 20.

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.

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."
