Anyone saving up their Boots points?

[90redbaloons]

I currently have £23 on my Boots card and plan to save upto when I have £100 worth of points, even though I know it's probably going to take forever! There's a Dior perfume I really want and it's £90. Are you saving your points for anything in particular?

Don't - they're changing the scheme and will probably reduce the points value. Spend them while you can.

Boots look like they are on their way out - I’d spend while you can!

Typical, I've got loads now.

When are they changing it?

I use the points to buy necessary everyday stuff, but whatever I spend in points I put in a pot to save for something frivolous- means I’m not stuck to one shop. But yeah always wait till I have a fair bit before I spend it

I had well into the hundreds for a long time. Decided to start spending them and running the total down so as not to lose them if things go belly up for boots!

I always used to save mine all year to buy my favourite perfume. Can't say I'm surprised they are in danger of going under, they don't stock any of my current favourite brands : up circle, q&a,

What changes are they making? I saw that if you didn't use your card for a year they'd remove your points balance - but that was June 2022?

Oh no, didn't hear they were changing things, bummer :( I'll definitely spend them then before it's too late

I always save mine for Christmas shopping.

Me too OP. I have about £31 now .. saving for a bottle of Chanel Coco Mademoiselle perfume!

Bit alarmed to hear Boots are in danger of going under though!! Not another one…

😕

Oh no! I have over £100 worth. Will start looking to see what I want or my DDILs want.

Nooooo. I've been saving for a Dyson hairdryer.

Thanks for the heads up. I've been spending them as soon as I hit enough for free online delivery. Very handy for nappies

They seem to be on their arses tbh, our local one seems to have barely any staff and the ones they have will ignore you for 10 minutes before deciding you might actually wish to purchase something. Superdug is better and they have a points card!!

Really why??

I wouldn’t blame the staff. It’s utterly shit for them, and anyone would be demoralised. Boots used to be a good employer until they got taken over by Walgreens.

I saved my points last year then bought myself an early Christmas present of Chanel No5. I have about £25 in points that I was going to save again but I’d better spend them now!

I never use my boots points and one time i checked my points almost £500. Then i spend it on luxury makeup and skincare 😄😄😄 now i think i got £80

Yikes I’ve got about £280 - best get those nuggets spent before they go belly up!!

I’ve just checked mine, I’ve got £58. I tend to leave them for a couple of years then buy something. I’d better have a look and see what I fancy

I've got £68
Our local boots has empty shelves and few staff. I was thinking I should spend.
No idea what on. I would like a nice perfume. Any recommendations around that price. I love the smell of vanilla

£117.62 not saving for anything in particular but a little concerned about the reports they are struggling.

There’s a whole thread about their janky ass website and app, loads of us unable to order for months. I haven’t been able to complete an order this year, something always goes wrong. It’s a really bad sign, I’m braced for them to go under tbh. I don’t want that at all since we have no Sephora etc. and therefore no other high street beauty store carrying the drugstore through to high end.

I just tried to spend mine at the weekend. Haven't shopped in boots for ages. Turns out they wipe your points if you don't use the card in a year or something. Tbh, since covid and we moved house so don't have a boots in my local town, I hardly ever shop there. I must have had loads of points. I was absolutely fuming. It's the only reason to shop there tbh. I probably won't bother again. Can get everything online or from Tesco when doing the supermarket shop.

They actually wiped your points? @bluesky45
