What is Boots Opticians Contact Lens Rewards Plan?


Boots Opticians Contact Lens Rewards Plan is a Direct Debit scheme, which provides a convenient way to spread the cost of wearing contact lenses. Additionally, and depending on your contact lens type, solutions can be included in your plan. Boots Opticians Contact Lens Rewards Plan is not a credit agreement, it's a payment plan which allows you to pay in advance for each order. You will be required to pay the first three months' payments upfront when you join Boots Opticians Contact Lens Rewards Plan. Your bank account will then be debited each month following sign up. Your contact lenses will be ordered automatically every three months, and you'll make three payments for each order.


How long will my agreement last?


Boots Opticians Contact Lens Rewards Plan does not have a minimum agreement term and can be cancelled at any time, all we ask is that you give us 28 days' notice of your wish to cancel and we'll cancel your plan and refund any advance payments directly into your bank account. We reserve the right to change the terms of your Boots Opticians Contact Lens Rewards Plan agreement giving you three months' notice.


How much will I pay?


All payments you make (including your initial payment and subsequent monthly Direct Debits) are made up of (i) a charge for professional dispensing services including check-ups and (ii) a charge for goods, inclusive of postage and packaging. Of your total payment 50% is for dispensing services and 50% is for goods.


All prices are subject to review, and any changes to your Direct Debit will be detailed, via a letter, with at least five weeks' notice.


What happens if a mistake is made with my payment?


If Boots Opticians or your bank or building society makes a mistake with your monthly Direct Debit payment, an immediate refund can be requested under the terms of the Direct Debit Guarantee by contacting your bank or building society directly. Please also contact the Boots Opticians Contact Lens Reward Scheme on 0345 603 2020 (calls are charged at local rate) or email contactlenses@boots-opticians.co.uk.


What happens if I miss a payment?


If, for any reason, your bank or building society rejects our request for your monthly Direct Debit payment, then we will attempt to collect the payment on your next scheduled payment date. Please be aware we are unable to send your contact lenses until you have paid the full balance of your delivery and any missed payments could lead to your delivery schedule being altered. We will contact you to arrange payment of any outstanding monies and can realign your delivery schedule if required. If we cannot collect your payments for three consecutive months then your scheme membership will be automatically cancelled.


How can I change the Boots Opticians I go to?


If you move house just pop into your new local Boots Opticians practice and let them know you have moved to the area. Your Boots Opticians practice will arrange to transfer your Boots Opticians Contact Lens Rewards Plan and patient records. In the majority of cases there will be no requirement for you to sign a new Direct Debit Instruction.


What happens if I have a change to my contact lenses?


If you need a new lens type or your prescription changes during the term of your Boots Opticians Contact Lens Rewards Plan membership we can arrange for your new lenses to be transferred to your account. You will see a payment adjustment on your next payment date following your lens type change.


What happens about solutions on my plan?


If you need contact lens solution for your lens type, your optician can include these in your monthly payments. If you have selected store pick up for your lenses, every three months a solution pack will be available for you to collect in store. If you have selected home delivery both your lenses and solutions will be delivered to your home address.


How do I tell you about a change to my personal details?


Please notify your local Boots Opticians practice (the practice where you attend your contact lens appointments), email contactlenses@boots-opticians.co.uk or you can write to: Boots Opticians Customer Service Team, Boots Head Office, D90 EF05, Thane Road, Beeston, Nottingham, NG90 1BS, quoting your membership number. If you wish to change your bank or building society details or Direct Debit payment date, please contact your local Boots Opticians practice or you can email contactlenses@boots-opticians.co.uk.


Can I collect Boots Advantage Card points?


You'll collect one point for every £1 you spend on lenses and solutions on your Boots Opticians Contact Lens Rewards Plan.

We can deliver to any UK address. If you do not receive your contact lens or solutions, please report this as missing as soon as possible on 0345 603 2020, calls are charged at local rate. It's important that we look after the health of your eyes so if you miss your regular contact lens check-up appointments your lenses will be automatically sent to your local Boots Opticians practice who will contact you to arrange your appointment and to collect your lenses. We can only hold your lenses for a limited period of time, so please arrange your contact lens check-up appointment as soon as possible. You can also decide to collect your contact lenses and solutions (if applicable) from your Boots Opticians practice, who will let you know when your lenses arrive.

These are your terms and conditions for your glasses cover policy. In return for the premium you pay, we will provide cover for your glasses during the period of cover subject to the terms and conditions and the exclusions set out below.

We will pay for:

Repair or replacement of your glasses on a like for like basis if they are damaged as a result of accidental damage which is not covered by the manufacturer's guarantee

We will not pay for (exclusions):

Repair or replacement of your glasses due to deliberate damage by you or where you have not taken reasonable care of them

Glasses repair or replacement to a new optical prescription

Glasses repair or replacement if not authorised and carried out by Boots Opticians

Any costs due to an inherent design fault, a manufacturer’s defect or recall of your glasses

Any cost of repair where no parts of the glasses are returned

Any losses that do not flow naturally from the event giving rise to the claim or any loss over and above the cost of your glasses

Loss or theft of your glasses

How to make a claim

Within 30 days of the Accidental Damage occurring, visit any Boots Opticians store in the UK and take along your glasses, including all damaged or separated parts and these terms and conditions, together with your proof of purchase. Boots Opticians will only then arrange for your glasses to be repaired or replaced, subject to the terms and conditions of this policy.

Are there any other conditions or limitations?

This policy shall be governed by English law and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts


Your till receipt together with these terms and conditions act as proof of purchase for both your glasses and this cover

We have the right to cancel this policy by giving at least 30 days' notice in writing to you at your last known address where we have serious grounds for doing so, including any failure by you to comply with the terms and conditions of this policy, which is incapable of remedy, or which you fail to remedy within 14 days of receiving notice from us requiring you to remedy the failure. A proportionate refund of the premium paid will be made to you from the date we cancel this policy

This policy is automatically cancelled if you submit a claim knowing it to be false, fraudulent or misrepresentative

This policy cannot be transferred to another person or persons. It may be transferred to another pair of glasses that you own, only with our prior written consent

If you receive a replacement pair of glasses because repairing the glasses is considered to be uneconomical or not possible, we may, at our sole discretion, take possession of the damaged glasses and dispose of them accordingly

This policy excludes costs or payments recoverable from any party, under the terms of any other guarantee, warranty or insurance

What if I change my mind?

You are entitled to a full refund if, within 14 days from purchase, you cancel the policy, providing there have been no claims made under the policy during the period of cover. Simply return these terms and conditions together with your original till receipt, to the Boots Opticians store that you purchased the policy from, within 14 days of purchase and a full refund will be given.
