Boots Advantage Card

I have looked on their website, and am obviously extremely thick because I still don't understand how the points get converted to money back? When I want to use the point I have collected against something I am buying how do I go about it? In Laymans terms please!! Thanks in advance x

As and when you buy things, if you give them your card, points get put on it (I think it's 4 points for every one pound spent). These points are converted into pennies - so if you have 423 points, you have �4.23 on your card. You can then use the card to pay for an item or items that total �4.23 or lower in the shop. You'd just say "Can I pay for that with my card" and they'll check you have enough on there to cover the items.

I'm sure you still can't use the card to 'half pay' for some shopping - i.e. if the total of what your buying is say, �6.97 - you wouldn't be able to use the card to pay for �4.23 of that amount and then give them the (er quick bit of maths...) �2.74 in cash. All the items need to total equal to or lower than your points total.

and if you are buying anything with your points make sure you tell the assistant BEFORE they put it through the till as the transaction has to be done seperately.

No you definately can not use the points as part payment.
