Now, 500 points is nice, but wouldn't it be nicer if it were 1000 points? Here’s the fun secret: Boots loves giving points away. They have these magical events called Advantage Card points events where you earn 4x, 5x, or even 10x the points.
What are loyalty card points worth? - Be Clever With Your Cash
Imagine this: you buy a £50 foundation, and during a 5x points event, you’d earn 250 points instead of 50. Do that a few times, and boom—you’re a points millionaire. Well, a 500-point millionaire. You get the drift.
Also, don’t ignore the Boots app. It literally throws free points at you sometimes. "Here, have 50 points for breathing." Okay, not exactly, but close. Check it regularly—it’s like finding a crisp £5 note in an old coat.
The "Scam" That Isn’t a Scam
You can also collect points on prescriptions! Yes, for every prescription you pick up, you get 1 point per item. It’s not a lot, but over a year, those little points add up. By December, you might have 500 points just from your hay fever tablets. Free fiver? Yes, please.
Real talk: sometimes I purposely wait until I have 500 points to buy a cheeky lipstick I don’t need. It feels free. It is free. My bank account agrees with me, and that’s the important thing.
