Ongoing

Selected accounts only. Via Advantage card app for the month of your birthday

If you're a member of the Boots Advantage Card* scheme, you might get double points for your birthday month via the Boots app*. Make sure you have added your birthday details to your account and have given Boots marketing permission.

This doesn't automatically apply to every Advantage card member, instead it offers this to selected accounts as a "surprise". We're unsure what the criteria is, so don't bank on receiving this deal every year.

You'll need to add the promotion manually to your Advantage Card via the app before swiping it in store, or you won't get your double birthday points. 

More info

The birthday double points are not valid on infant milks, prescriptions, postage stamps, giftcards or travel/insurance/opticians/hearing care/kitchen appliances or plastic bags.

Boots 90% off clearance sale in stores*

Including No7, Soap & Glory, Garnier and more – though stock is limited. Online it's up to 50% off

Boots has boosted its clearance sale from 70% off to 90% off in stores (find your nearest*). It's largely gift sets (from the Christmas shopping period), so stock is limited, but we've spotted popular brands such as No7 and Soap & Glory.

This could be an ideal opportunity to buy gifts for Valentine's Day or Mother's Day – or even to stock up on some essentials with brands such as L'Oreal, Garnier, and Gillette included.

Boots has told us the following items are included in the clearance sale, depending on stock availability:

Below are a few of the clearance items we spotted at a local Boots store on Monday 3 February. Of course, we can't guarantee your local store will have the same products in the sale. We originally saw these when the sale was 70% off, but we've recalculated the prices at the boosted 90% off:

The sale is also online*, but at 'up to 50% off', though we've spotted a handful of items with a deeper discount. Many products are labelled as "stock coming soon", so if you're after something specific, it's worth checking back. Alternatively, if you see something you like online, it could be worth using the 'check store availability' function to see if you can get it in store, though of course, as it's a clearance sale, items could sell out quickly.

Delivery's £3.95 for orders under £25, and £1.50 for click & collect orders under £15 – otherwise it's free over those amounts.

What's the Boots clearance sale like at your local store? Whether you find a bargain, or it's not much cop, let us know at X (Twitter).

Free protection for all shopping!

There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
What the * means above
If a link has an * by it, that means it is an affiliated link and therefore it helps MoneySavingExpert stay free to use, as it is tracked to us. If you go through it, it can sometimes result in a payment or benefit to the site. It's worth noting this means the third party used may be named on any credit agreements.
You shouldn’t notice any difference and the link will never negatively impact the product. Plus the editorial line (the things we write) is NEVER impacted by these links. We aim to look at all available products. If it isn't possible to get an affiliate link for the top deal, it is still included in exactly the same way, just with a non-paying link.
