Here is exactly how it works, how it compares to B&Q's own schemes, and how to get the most out of every DIY project.

Does B&Q have a cashback scheme?

B&Q does not run its own instant cashback programme. It has a loyalty scheme called DIY Rewards, which lets shoppers collect points on purchases to redeem later, and a separate trade focused scheme called TradePoint for tradespeople. Neither pays money back straight away.

How tuck. cashback works at B&Q

B&Q DIY Rewards vs tuck. cashback

B&Q TradePoint discounts vs cashback

TradePoint is B&Q's scheme for verified tradespeople such as electricians, plumbers, builders and decorators, offering trade pricing and services once you have signed up. It rewards you with a lower price at the till rather than cashback afterwards.

A tuck. cashback card works differently again. Because it is bought at full face value, using one to pay does not affect your TradePoint pricing, and the up to 5 percent cashback comes on top of whatever you already pay. Tradespeople who qualify for TradePoint can still settle the bill with a tuck. cashback card and earn cashback on every purchase.

Can you combine TradePoint and tuck. cashback?

Because TradePoint pricing and tuck. cashback run through separate processes, most tradespeople can use both, though it is worth checking the details with B&Q directly. If you regularly compare trade pricing across suppliers, our Wickes brand page is also worth a look.
