Boots - get free points??

Darren21

I went to boots on Saturday and tried to do an offer which was posted on here where you were getting 200 points for buying a facemask etc. To cut a long story short I returned the items and handed over my clubcard but my 200 points were not taken off, only the normal points that would have been earned had I not handed over a bonus 200 points printout. So I gained about 184 points for free!!

Do I take it that if you use a printout bonus points coupon & then return the items you get to keep the bonus points??? Surely If you bought a few things they wouldn't even know that the bonus points related to what you were taking back?!

It's the same when you return stuff to homebase, they never take the reward points back off your loyalty card.

Buy something & change your mind, not a problem - but it just for points is :mad::mad: and That's not playing fair and imho is nearly as bad as stealing.

When i took an ipod back to boots which was a gift they gave me a gift card with the refund on but with the value of the points deducted from the balance because i did not have the advantage card of the original purchaseser. In fact they took all the points off even for the items on the reciept which did not go back!
