Earn millions of free ipoints loyalty points - just for doing your Christmas shopping!

ipoints, the UK’s biggest online loyalty scheme, is giving away millions of free ipoints to members who do their Christmas shopping online via the company’s website, ipoints.co.uk, where they can access over 300 top retail partners and affiliates. These include 101cd.com, sendit.com, prezzybox.com, greenfingers.com, Boots.com, amazon.co.uk, comet.co.uk and Debenhams.com, Jessops.com, Johnlewis.com, Marksandspencer.com and many more.

As part of ipoints biggest ever consumer promotion, all ipoints members that spend more than £50 between now and 31st December 2006 will automatically qualify for the ipoints bonus. Those spending over £101 will get an even greater bonus of 125 ipoints. On receiving these points, members will then be able to redeem them for a number of different rewards such as Blockbuster vouchers, USB mobile phone chargers, ipods, CDs, LCD TVs and more.

It is fast and easy to become an ipoints member, with registration online only taking a few minutes. And with generous ipoint allocations and low redemption levels, rewards can be earned quickly – unlike other loyalty schemes where you may need to spend hundreds of pounds to earn enough points to achieve even a low value reward such as a baseball cap!

Roz Brown, Member Communications Manager comments, “This is our biggest ever ipoints giveaway promotion to date and we are very excited and looking forward to giving our members that bit more over the Christmas period. We already make Christmas shopping easy by bringing together so many fantastic names together via our website and giving great value back to members. So by giving them the chance to earn extra bonus ipoints– in addition to the ipoints they earn anyway when shopping via ipoints.co.uk - we hope that we will make Christmas shopping a much more rewarding exercise.”

To ease the stresses of Christmas shopping even further, ipoints is also launching an invaluable online ‘Gift Selector’ to help ipoints members that are stuck for ideas of what gifts they can buy for friends and relatives that already seem to have it all. This tool enables members to click on the type of person they’re having difficulty in choosing a gift for (e.g. mum, dad, granddad, grandma etc) and provides a selection of the latest and most popular present for that person. Essentially ipoints has done the legwork for consumers to give them great ideas on what to buy, and where, making it simple for them to click through to the appropriate loyalty partners’ websites where they can buy and earn ipoints – what could be simpler!?

Roz Brown concludes, “This Christmas, ipoints.co,uk will have some of the best gifts and a huge variety of online partners to shop with on the web, so if consumers are going to be buying Christmas presents anyway, it makes sense for them to shop through ipoints and reward themselves at the same time as buying presents for others.
