The Homebase Spend & Save card launched in 1991 and was one of the first retail reward cards. It is still one of the most rewarding schemes, offering at least 2% back and up to 10% back depending on how much the customer spends. Points earned are converted into Reward Vouchers which may be spent in stores or converted into AirMiles. Over 4.5 million of our customers enjoy the benefits of being in the scheme.
