When you get to the till, open your app and press the QR tag to generate a code. Scan the code on the white scanner at any time during your purchase. Your points will be instantly added to your account.

Please note in order to receive points the transaction total needs to be above £1.00 to receive 5 points. If the cost is 99p no rewards points will be given. So, remember to keep your transactions above whole £1.00’s to receive maximum points. 

You don’t earn points on the following transactions;

• When spending your points
• When collecting stamps towards a reward voucher 
• When you redeem an earned* or given reward voucher
• Points can’t be used/earnt in conjunction with any other offer/reward voucher or promotion
• When paying with a department charge code or voucher via an account payment type 

*earned reward vouchers have been designed to be a unique offer that far out weights the collection of normal points so don’t feel sad about not collecting points on these items. Go for the big reward and collect all those stamps! E.g. Buy 6 hot drinks to receive 7th free.

You can spend your points any time on almost anything in participating outlets and get that wonderful ‘I’ve paid with my points’ feeling. When you get to the till, simply scan your Rewards Club App by opening the QR tag to generate a code. Scan the code on the white scanner at any time during your purchase and let the cashier know you would like to pay with your points.

You can’t spend points on items that are part of the Reward Vouchers as they are already discounted.

You cannot part pay with Rewards Club points, so you’ll need the full product payment amount of points for the product you choose. For example, 125 points will pay for a product priced at £1.25. The total price in points will then be deducted from your Rewards Club balance. If you only had 124 points you wouldn’t be able to spend your points this time, sorry. Other items can be purchased and paid for in the same transaction if you have another payment type.

There is a Reward Club points statement at the bottom of your till receipt, which will tell you how many points you have collected with each purchase and how many you have collected all together. You can also find out your balance by opening the App and viewing balances along with all transactions made using the Reward Club App. By default, we have set the system to not give a receipt on transactions that are using the Reward Club App as you will be able to view all transactions and balances within the App/website. You can ask the cashier for a receipt if you would like one.

To check your points online, you’ll need to register on the www.lboro.ac.uk/rewardclub

and link your Reward Club App with your account. Once registered and logged in, your points balance will show at the top of the page.

Unfortunately, sometimes technical difficulties do happen if for some reason you encounter a technical difficulty when spending or earning points, collecting stamps or using vouchers at the till point, we won’t be able to process the transaction and the points, stamps or vouchers  won’t be processed. Therefore we ask for your patience whilst we restore the system so you can try again.
