Little-known tip for Boots advantage card holders to get extra points

Boots customers may have been annoyed about the latest Advantage points change, but did you know there's an easy way to get extra points at most Boots stores? Not very many people know about the Boots Scan2Go recycling scheme, but you can make a tidy amount by just returning your empties to a store and dropping them in the special bin.

The high street chemist launched its new recycling scheme last September. It was first available as a pilot in 50 stores and has now expanded to a further 650 stores across the country, including most branches in the North East. Although the aim is to to help customers shop and consume more sustainably, there's an bonus for shoppers, as you get 250 Advantage points for every five items you recycle. This will give you £2.50 off your shop the next time you spend £10 or more.

The Boots loyalty card is one of the more generous loyalty cards in the marketplace anyway, with cardholders getting four reward points for every £1 spent in-store or online and this is a great way to boost your savings with no extra effort and this is a good way to recycle those bits and bobs that council recycle schemes do not include, such as toothpaste tubes and make-up packaging.
