The Brown Thomas Black programme allows you to accumulate points each time you make eligible purchases in any Brown Thomas or BT2 store using your Brown Thomas Black card. The scheme is run by Brown Thomas & Co. Limited, 88-92 Grafton Street, Dublin 2, VAT No. IE8V56031J.
The programme commences in October 2009. These terms and conditions govern the programme for its duration and set out in full the contract between Brown Thomas and you, the Brown Thomas Black cardholder.
You must present your Brown Thomas Black card when you make a purchase in order to earn points on that purchase. You will earn 1 point for every €1 you spend in any calendar year. If you spend more than €5000 within a calendar year you will start to earn 2 points for every additional €1 spent. You will continue to earn 2 points for every €1 you spend provided your annual spend exceeds €5000.
It may take up to 14 working days to process your registration form and benefits will only apply from this day.
Points can only be earned at the higher threshold from the day following the purchase which qualified the customer for the increased points. Increased points will not be applied retrospectively to any element of the qualifying purchase. We may also offer bonus points in our absolute discretion at certain times.
