I'm a bit confused why an £11 order is showing as less than the 400 points a £10 order is due. 
Tbh I'm not sure points are worth collecting even at 5X  |
I can't really help for certain, but I know that there are some books that SOMETIMES count for 5x. So it's not just the total in your basket. For example, I was asked to submit a single title for 5x for this weekend. The price of that book is not the caveat here (if I understand it, usually the cost of a book helps determine exactly how many points are given). So some of the books in your basket may be worth more points. The one I submitted will yield 5x, but if you bought two of my books (for example) only the one would be 5x. It's sort of like coupons--the coupons only work on some books and the 5x is only going to be from a certain list.
My explanation may not help because I'm not sure I understand it all that well either. And sometimes what they SAY is not how it works.
I have actually found the points more useful than I expected. I earned them faster than I thought I would even though I don't do anything special when it comes to shopping.
Good luck and if I made it more confusing...sorry. That's all I know!
