You can't take a screenshot of a Boots Advantage Card! Here's how to add the barcode to your mobile wallet

Annoyingly, Boots now require people to have a Boots Advantage card to get discounted prices in store. I am a member of a lot of loyalty schemes, and have a lot of different cards. But I hate carrying them all around. And in most of the shops near me, there is no mobile phone signal. This usually means I can’t access my loyalty cards in the apps. And that makes having the app on your phone a bit useless. It can be annoying, as not only does it mean I can’t get Boots Price Advantage Discounts or my 10% Boots Student discount that I have on my card, but I also can’t get my Clubcard Plus 10% discount. There are a number of ways to get around this. To get around this, I took a picture of my Clubcard barcode and my QR Code and saved it on my phone. I’ve been living like a caveman with this screenshot for a while now, scanning it whenever I can. 

But there are now a number of apps that you can use to store all of your loyalty cards in one place. For example, you can add your Tesco Clubcard,  Sainsbury’s Nectar Card, or your Morrisons More Card. All you need is one of the following apps:

  1. Open the Curve app.
  2. Tap Wallet.
  3. Tap Loyalty.
  4. Tap Add Card.
