Here are some tricks to boost your points.

PLAY TO WIN: Download the Virgin Red app and play daily quizzes to earn extra Virgin Points.

While you can build up points for reward flights, you can also exchange points for little treats such as Greggs sausage rolls, Costa Coffee £5 gift cards, Pizza Express £20 gift cards, days out and experiences.

SHARE & EARN: Nectar points can be swapped for Avios points and vouchers you can spend at Esso to pay for your fuel.

While you can earn points on purchases at stores including Argos, eBay and Sainsbury’s, you can also join Nectar Canvass to earn extra points by taking part in surveys and sharing your opinions.

Check it out at nectar.com.

TAKE ADVANTAGE: Do some good for the planet and your Boots Advantage points balance.

The chemist has updated its beauty empties recycling scheme with the new Recycle At Boots app.

Scan and deposit five empties to be eligible for a 500 points rewards voucher, available when you next spend £10 in store.

Make your first deposit by April 30, to receive an extra 50 points, so that’s a total of 550 points worth £5.50.

REWARD YOURSELF: Shop smart at Asda to get points that actually convert directly into cash.

Download the Asda rewards app and, when shopping, seek out the star discount offers to earn more.

Also, complete missions such as shopping at the same Asda store for more rewards.

The earnings will appear as cash vouchers in £1 denominations meaning you can get a little extra off your shop.

RIDE ON: Take a cab with Uber and link your British Airways Executive Club account to start collecting Avios points for your next break.

Get one point for every pound spent and, until April 7, book an Uber trip and you will be entered into a draw to win one million Avios points.
