Membership Rewards points is our way of giving back to you when you spend.
So every time you spend on your Card, we give you points. And we want you to get as much enjoyment out of these points as possible. The way we see it, you earned them, so you should be able to use them however you want.
Earn points
Unlike other loyalty programmes, we don’t tell you how you can spend your points – or when. There are no limits to how many you can earn and they never expire.
Spend points
Whether it’s a new pair of headphones, a family trip away or even your morning coffee and pastry, when we say you can use them for pretty much anything, we mean exactly that. Your rewards, your way. Enjoy.
Spend points the way you want on:
- a wide range of shopping, travel and entertainment products from our online catalogue
- gift cards from a choice of well-known brands
- with other travel, hotel and retail loyalty programmes
- to offset any purchase made on your Card once it appears on your statement
- to donate to charities
