ABOUT YOUR GIFT CARD OR E-CARD
Gift cards are credit card sized plastic cards that can be loaded or topped up to the value of €250 and a minimum of €10 and can be redeemed online and in-store. E-cards are an electronic version of our gift cards that can only be redeemed online.

Your gift card is valid for 24 months from the last time you used it.
You will earn Advantage Card points as normal when using your gift card to purchase products across store, but you cannot earn points with a purchase of the gift card itself.
10% student discount can be used alongside a gift card when purchasing anything available in our stores. Please note, student discount cannot be used on our in-store ordering service and you cannot use your discount to purchase a gift card.
RETURNING GIFT CARDS & E-CARDS
If you return your items in-store, you will receive your refund in the form of a physical gift card. Your physical gift card can be redeemed online or in-store.
If you choose to send your items back to us via our warehouse (using our free-post label), then you will receive an e-gift card to the value of your refund. You will receive your new e-gift card in our refund email, which will contain a link with details of how to redeem your new e-gift card. Please note: You will only be able to spend your e-gift card online.
Gift cards purchased from a Boots store or online cannot be returned and are not refundable. If you purchased the gift card from a third-party retailer, please check directly with them.
No, gift cards can't be redeemed for cash.
In this instance, your gift card will always be refunded first and your debit/credit card, three to five working days later.
When receiving your refund for an order placed using a credit/debit card and gift card, you might see different figures in the refund email you receive. This is because your gift card will be the primary refund method (up to the value spent on your gift card in that transaction).
If you are not expecting a full refund (for instance, part of your order had been cancelled or couldn't be dispatched, or you returned part of your order), your refund will be issued to a new e-gift card before being refunded to your credit/debit card if there is outstanding refund value.
LOSING GIFT CARDS & E-CARDS
Please look after your gift card as we cannot except liability for lost, stolen or damaged cards.
Your e-card has cash value and should be safeguarded as such. Boots is not responsible if your Boots e-card is lost, stolen, destroyed or used without your permission.
