Hide summary
When customers of major brands go shopping, they have the opportunity to take out a loyalty card. The latter allows you to accumulate points, euros or even access promotional offers. From Carrefour to Auchan, large groups reward customer loyalty.
But be careful. If the new year is an opportunity to take stock of your projects and put in place resolutions, it can also cause you to lose your points. In fact, several major French distribution brands will soon reset the points you have accumulated since the start of 2024. To avoid losing your benefits, here is a summary of the deadlines to be respected.
Carrefour, Monoprix: fixed expiration dates
Some brands apply strict deadlines for the use of loyalty points. If you miss the deadline, there will be no gift. However, no need to panic by looking at the date. Of course, we are in 2025. However, the points do not disappear from the first day of the year.
For example, the Carrefour, Casino and Intermarché brands offer you the opportunity to use them without losing them until March 1, not included. These are the brands that have the date closest to us. Something to reassure you.

After Leclerc, the CEO of Carrefour also speaks about prices in 2025: what to expect
In fact, this date falls on March 31 for Franprix. Picard and Auchan do even less, since the points are valid until December 31, 2025. You still have a whole year to use them. On the other hand, for Auchan, the most recent points (November and December) will expire sooner.
It is therefore rather the customers of Carrefour or Casino who should think about it. Otherwise, they will be able to miss out on savings which they deserve to have because of their loyalty.
Special cases
Not all brands are following in the footsteps of Carrefour or Picard. Indeed, some have somewhat special cases. This is the case of Leclerc and Système U. These latter groups do not impose a fixed deadline for using points.
However, these benefits may disappear if the card remains inactive. For Leclerc, you should not leave the card inactive for 14 months. For Système U, the deadline is one month shorter.
In addition, to avoid any inconvenience, remember to use your card regularly. Moreover, some stores may require ID to allow you to access your prize pool. Whether you are a Carrefour or Leclerc customer, it is important to know the rules to follow.

How to maximize your benefits?
It's not all about having a loyalty card. It is also essential to know how to maximize the benefits available to you. Carrefour, Auchan, Leclerc and others offer them all year round. So you shouldn't lose them stupidly.
To begin, it is essential to plan your purchases. Check your points balance and use them before the deadline to finance your trips or get discounts.
Then, regularly consult the general conditions of your loyalty card to avoid surprises regarding possible modifications. Finally, remember: a simple use during your shopping is enough to extend the validity of your points with certain brands.
In 2025, don't let your loyalty points disappear! Take a moment to check the expiration dates specific to each brand and use your benefits before it's too late.
