Boots do digital recycling – club card points for your old mobile

It seems that you can’t make it through a TV program these days without encountering an advert from a company trying to buy your mobile phone.

I’m sure all of these companies are trustworthy. However, when I stumbles across Books Recycling my ears perked up.

Boots don’t pay you cash. Instead you get given club card points – this is significant as Boots already has one of the most generous club cards out there on the high street.

• A Nokia N73 is worth 5,166 points
• A 4th gen Apple iPod is worth 583 points
• A BlackBerry Pearl 8100 is worth 1,995 points
• A Canon PowerShot A1000 IS gets you 1,666 points

In Pure Spirit

What do you think? Is this a better deal than the cash converters?

Do you feel more comfortable Boots offering this service than the other newer companies?
