Savvy Saver Pt. 2
Hi all, today I'm going to continue with the theme of saving money/ getting more for your money and I'll be focussing on loyalty cards today.
Loyalty cards are schemes which generally reward you for spending in whatever store it is, so if you do tend to spend your money in one place you can really benefit.
From what I understand, the most popular and the longest running beauty specific loyalty card is the Boots Advantage Card Scheme. This one is my personal favourite but two other retailers have recently joined the club too so I'm going to go through the pro's and cons of each individual scheme.
Boots Advantage Card
Pro's
- 4 points per £ making it the most generous loyalty card of the lot.
- Quarterly mail outs with good offers and points bonuses.
- Bonus point events where you can earn a whopping amount of points.
- You can redeem the points at any time.
- You can now spend your points online.
- Can't use points as part payment.
- The card has a cool mirror on it; perfect for touch ups.
- Bonus point events in store.
- Can use points as part payment
- Can redeem points at any time
- Only one point per £.
- No vouchers through the post.
- Frequent bonus points promotions.
- Free delivery for card holders.
- Free makeovers and samples in store.
- Can be confusing as you earn different points for the amount you spend instore and a different number of points for online purchases.
- Can only spend points when they've been converted (they're converted in multiples of £5).
So there's my round up of the loyalty cards currently out there for all us beauty lovers. As with everything else, these are my personal opinions and you may benefit more from a different card. As always, I'd say there's no harm in having all three as you have plenty of options then..
What do you lovely ladies think about the current loyalty schemes... Generous enough? Do you feel that the benefit you or are they pointless?
