Q: How many Heathrow Rewards points do I need for Instant Rewards?
A: Instant Rewards can be redeemed in increments of 500 Heathrow Rewards points. Just like the paper vouchers, each 500 points is worth £5 to spend in participating outlets.
Q: How do I do it?
A: Tell the cashier that you would like to use Instant Rewards, they will swipe or scan your Heathrow Rewards card and tell you the maximum value of the reward you can redeem. You can then choose the value you wish to redeem – you don't have to use the full amount.
Q: Can I redeem Heathrow Rewards points on the same day I have collected them?
A: No, you can only redeem Heathrow Rewards points available in your Heathrow Rewards account as of the previous day.
Q: How do I know how many Instant Rewards I can use?
A: Check your Heathrow Rewards points balance before you travel, or refresh your virtual card if you have Apple Wallet, so you know how many Instant Rewards you can redeem in-store. The cashier can also confirm the maximum value of the reward you can redeem at point of purchase.
Q: What happens if I don't have enough Heathrow Rewards points to pay for the entire transaction?
A: You do not need to pay for the entire transaction with Instant Rewards. Simply pay for the remaining amount with another form of payment.
Q: Can I still use paper vouchers at participating outlets?
A: Yes.
Q: Can I use a combination of paper vouchers and Instant Rewards?
A: Yes.
Q: Can I use the virtual Wallet version of my Heathrow Rewards card?
A: Yes
Q: Are there any restrictions to what I can buy with Instant Rewards
A: Instant Rewards cannot be used as payment, or part payment, for gift vouchers or for purchases of tobacco and tobacco products.
Q: What happens if I return my item/get a refund?
A: Where refunds are made through the Heathrow Shopper Promise service your points will be added back to your account when the refund is processed.
Q: I couldn't use my card because I was told it was unregistered. What can I do?
A: Unregistered cards are those where we do not have any member information associated with the card. To redeem any points for that account you must visit heathrow.com/rewards and register your member details.
