Frequently Asked Questions

Welcome to our FAQ Page

1. The Club

Member Prices are Exclusive Prices which is a benefit of being a TOFS Club member (either with a physical Club card or via TOFS Club+ App). These are specially selected prices and savings available on products in-store. Only available to customers who swipe their physical Club card or scan their TOFS Club+ App in store.

The TOFS Club Member Prices are available in all TOFS stores excluding those where TOFS is a concession in another retailer, or for online purchases for home delivery at tofs.com.

Member Prices are available to anyone who downloads and signs up to the TOFS Club+ App. For those who can’t get the App, you can sign up to the TOFS Club in-store, just ask a colleague.

However, you cannot share Member Prices between Club members or with non Club members. You need to be a member to access the Exclusive Member Prices.

For TOFS Club (a physical Club card), please provide us with your old and new details along with your membership number and we will change this for you. You can do this in store or by emailing Customercare@tofs.com

On the TOFS Club+ App, you can update your details in the Edit Profile section of the App.

Unfortunately you cannot currently receive member prices if shopping online for home delivery. This is something we are looking at for the future. However if you use our reserve & collect service online, to collect and pay for items in store you will receive any member pricing offers available at the time of completing your transaction in store.

You cannot currently sign up to the TOFS Club online. However, you can join TOFS Club by downloading the Club+ App for free from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store (please see the FAQs about the App for more information). Alternatively, you can sign-up in store.

You can also sign-up to emails on the website to stay up-to-date with the latest offers and products in stores.

You can now receive member pricing if you swipe your physical Club card, or scan your App. However to receive additional member benefits, including badges and additional rewards you need to register to the TOFS Club+ App as this is totally separate to your original Club card membership. Once you have done this, please dispose of your plastic card.

It is essential that you swipe your TOFS Club card or scan the TOFS Club+ App every time you shop to receive the benefits, including member prices and playing Scratch & Win (in the App) or to receive your scratch card (received with a physical card swipe only).

The TOFS Club+ App is here to give members the power to make shopping more affordable than ever.

The TOFS Club+ App puts the power in your pocket so you can see the best deals, find your nearest store, and keep track of your badges, plus you’ll be giving a helping hand to causes that are local to you and close to your heart.

Once you have downloaded and signed up to the TOFS Club+ App your card will be visible in the TOFS Club+ menu option.

Click on this to display your card and remember to scan it every time you shop to take advantage of the Exclusive Member Prices, take part in Scratch & Win, and start working towards achieving your badges.

 Limit of 1 x “spend £20 (or more) in-store” badge per shop.

When the three badges have been collected, your £5 off reward will be automatically loaded and saved in the App in the ‘my reward’ section.

Remember to scan your TOFS Club+ App every time you shop. We’ll automatically track and record your qualifying purchases. When you achieve  three badges, you’ll earn your £5 badge reward. If you forget to scan you TOFS Club+ App at the checkout before making payment we won’t be able to scan it afterwards. Unfortunately, this means you might miss out on achieving a badge. 

If you have any difficulty scanning your App during the checkout process please ask our store colleagues to find your Club+ App membership number on the till system, so you can still be rewarded for your purchase. 

Only one badge  can be achieved in one transaction. i.e. you cannot achieve more than one ‘Spend £20 in one transaction’ if the transaction is worth £40 or more.

All badges are kept for 12 months from the date that they are achieved.

Once all badges are achieved you will receive your £5 badge reward in your TOFS Club+ App.

You can track your progress in the Badges section of the App.

Don’t worry, you don’t start from scratch.

The good news is, you now only have to get 3 badges to receive the £5 badge reward.

If you had 1-3 badges (any type), we’ll replace them with one new ‘Spend £20 in one transaction’ badge. Meaning you only have to get 2 more badges before you get your reward!

If you had 4 or badges (any type), we’ll replace them with two new ‘Spend £20 in one transaction’ badges. Meaning you only have to get 1 more badge before you get your reward!
