- Boots is celebrating the 25th birthday of its Advantage Card with the launch of its biggest ever member event
- Since its launch in 1997, over 15 million active Boots Advantage Card members have benefited from being part of one of the most generous loyalty schemes in the UK
- Boots wants to celebrate with its loyal Advantage Card customers, by offering them fantastic deals and promotions throughout August and September
The Advantage Card is 25 years old and to mark the occasion, Boots is launching the biggest ever member’s event, with exclusive offers, rewards and prizes running throughout August and September. The retailer will reveal a programme of never-seen-before offers exclusively for Advantage Card holders, so they can celebrate too.
The loyalty scheme launched back in 1997 and is widely regarded as one of the most generous in the UK, offering 4 points for every pound spent. It has over 15 million active Advantage Card holders, with over 50,000 of those signing up to the scheme when it launched 25 years ago still being regular and loyal shoppers with Boots today.
The scheme was originally set up to encourage customers to treat themselves by paying for their favourite products with the Advantage Card points they had amassed by shopping at Boots. Customers still enjoy saving points to pay for purchases today, and in addition, Boots also launched Price Advantage earlier this year as a way to offer immediate benefits to card holders, with over 400 products each month offered at exclusive discounted prices.
Over the past five years, the most common categories for redemption of Advantage Card points are toiletries and nutrition, including the Boots Meal Deal. Skincare is the top category where customers are collecting points, so far this year. December is the most popular month for redemption, with 21 December being the most popular day, as customers use points to pay for their Christmas shopping.
Hollie McLellan, Director of Customer Marketing at Boots, said: “The Boots Advantage Card is universally loved by our customers and has a special place in their hearts, so it was important to us that they get to celebrate this milestone birthday with us. Our new campaign ‘Our birthday, your rewards’ has been created to offer our best ever event for Boots Advantage Card holders, with amazing deals and promotions running over an eight-week period. There’s never been a better time to have a Boots Advantage Card, so if you don’t have one yet, be sure to sign up now and download the Boots app to make sure you don’t miss out.”
Over the next eight weeks, Boots will be revealing new birthday offers each week, across beauty, baby and healthcare, plus extra savings for students and bigger points for members of the Over 60s Rewards and Boots Parenting Club.
Boots will be running its first ever exclusive timed Advantage Card points countdown deal online on Thursday 4 August, offering up to four times the usual points starting at 11am, followed by three times the usual points and then double points up until 11pm.*
In addition, the retailer is launching a selection of exciting competitions for Advantage Card holders. Running over the next four weeks, 100 customers will win a huge 25,000 Advantage Card Points, equating to £250 for them to spend in store or online.

For a limited time, Advantage Card holders can also enjoy 25% off selected skincare, haircare, fragrance and beauty accessories when loading the offer on to the Boots App to use in store and online.*** They will also be able to benefit from over 25 products for £25 and exclusive Mothercare deals.
