6.1 Rewards cannot be resold or transferred in any manner whatsoever and also cannot be exchanged for cash or goods otherwise than as against Rewards. On occasion, the Rewards offered maybe 'multi-option' i.e., redeemable for goods in a variety of Outlets. BSUK are not responsible if the Outlet varies its services or stops accepting Rewards. Customers should check each Reward for any terms and conditions specific to the Outlet and expiry dates. Rewards cannot be used beyond the expiry date and neither replacement Rewards, refunds or replacement points will be awarded or issued. Some Rewards may or may not have an expiry date and it is the Customers’ responsibility to ascertain when the expiry date occurs.
7. Each store group operates its own policy on issuing monetary change against Rewards. Change may be given in the form of a lower denomination Card. In some circumstances change, typically if under £1, may be given in the form of cash. In some instances no change will be given. The Outlet reserves the right to refuse to accept Rewards which are defaced, altered or cancelled.
8. BSUK will aim to dispatch your Rewards within 3 working days of issue. However, this is for guidance only and delivery can take up to 28 days. We may deliver Rewards in instalments and in any sequence. Upon delivery, all Rewards should be immediately examined. We shall not be liable for any shortages in Rewards unless it is notified to BSUK within 3 working days of delivery. For non-delivered Rewards, the following process applies: a) The customer must contact BSUK informing them of non-delivery. An investigation will then begin between BSUK, Royal Mail and our Vouchers & Card Supplier. Rewards ordered will only be delivered to an address within the United Kingdom. Stock and availability will be indicated online on the Programme website wherever possible.
8.1 Damaged or defective Rewards ordered from the Programme using Points will be exchanged or replaced by BSUK on a like-for-like basis. If an Reward ordered from the Programme using Points is delivered in a damaged or defective condition, you must notify BSUK by e-mail via the contact person stated on the packing slip within 48 hours of receipt of the delivery. Failure to do so will result in Rewards not being exchanged or replaced.
8.2 Where it is not possible for BSUK to exchange or replace damaged or defective Rewards on a like-for-like basis, BSUK may, at its absolute discretion, re-credit your account with the Points that you used when you originally purchased those Rewards. No cash alternative can be offered.
8.3 BSUK do not operate a Sales and Return Policy. We can take no liability for any lost, stolen or damaged Rewards and responsibility of ownership has passes to the customer at the time of delivery. We are not directly linked to any Outlets whose products are listed in our range on our website, nor any of the companies who issue 'multi-option' Rewards. In the event that any Outlet ceases trading, becomes insolvent or is placed in either liquidation, administration or receivership there is no obligation upon us to replace or exchange any previously issued undischarged Rewards.
8.4 You must have saved the full amount of Points required for redemption of the Reward of your choice. You cannot make a part payment of Points towards an Rewards.

All Rewards are subject to availability and may be changed by the Group Companies at any time without notice. If this affects a current order, you will be advised by email and offered alternatives where possible or your points will be re-credited to your Programme points account.
