Definately works on Time Delay £5 hand and nail cream - ACM also has 100 points per Time Delay purchased too

Are you sure it is 100 per td item mine says 100 for 2 td skincare items?
Did you see that someone got 500 points for no 7 360 mascara when others have only 150 . I want a 500 points one.

They were virtual babys i wish i had never done that

Then don't argue with them. If they're willing to take no further action than taking your card then be grateful and walk away from this, £170 worth of points down maybe but not involved in any legal trouble.

The first time I was handed a Scottish note I didn't know what to do lol. The poor lady convinced me it was real but I thought I was going to get a telling off from my boss for accepting illegal tender PMSL. Please don't be upset, it's the managements fault for not teaching us these things So pleased you had a fab shop ~ aren't those med soap vouchers a pain now they keep bleeping ~ wonder why they do that they didn't in the beginning did they :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

LOL!!! Thanks you've really given me a laugh!!! I was a bit like that when i was handed an irish £10 note but im beginning to think that all new money is starting to look suspiciously like euros!!! LOL!!!

:T :A :T

Let's cheer you up and tell you all about my bootsing today

Long story short: I bought the new Maybelline lipstick (5.99) , Selsun shampoo + splenda tablets => 3 till spits
and I took an Olay thermal polisher for £ ! (and it's great, it's the best for me), Time delay cleanser... and Time Delay line filling collagen booster.

I want more till spits!!!

(I will ask my friends if anyone needs a top-up, unfortunatelly I'm on a contract)

My ACM popped out a 300 point voucher. I wonder if my OH will get a better offer, lol? I can just see his face if I send him in to buy a mascara!

I didn't try the Olay hand cream with the new till spit as I wasn't sure it would work, but it does work with the £5.99 and £6.99 Total Effects facial cleansers, so that's still quite a bargain.

Also, bought just under £10 of Pantene to get the gwp -- actually, £8 gets you the gift but it's really hard to come right at that amount as lots of things are £3.99! The gift bag itself isn't that fabulous, but inside it has a small shamp and cond, a lip gloss, and a really neat light-up makeup mirror that slides open. And a £1 coupon for your next purchase.

Ooh think i found a glitch (ish) :j
Baby expert item £1.99 (use 1/2 price pc voucher) so 99p
100 points mag wyb expert
100 points acm wyb any baby expert (i think)
Worked for me today! SA said i'll be owing you in a minute!:p
I also got (another) Borjoius Sharpener and free Baby Organics jar.
Paid 99p got 200 points, similar to stay dry glitch but that only involved 1 voucher not 3!

Oh, was in my big Boots today. Re: the not very useful £2 off cosmetic tillspits. Bourjois are now doing a 342 offer on selected cosmetics but it would probably be cheaper for many items to buy them individualy and use a till spit for each.

Revlon are doing an offer where if you buy a specific mascara or a quad eyeshadow compact you get a free eyeliner. The quad eyeshadows are £8.50 (?) so if you used your till spit on this or the mascara plus got the liner then it's a good deal. Unfortunately I didn't like any of the colours of the eyeshadow compacts.

Has the new Gorgeous bags in stock.....only arrived yesterday.

Anyone hoping to bump their spend to obtain the till spit by buying one of these.....Don't. It doesn't work. Presumably because they are also exempt from Adv card points, they don't count towards your till-spit-spend either.

Also....anyone else who shops (:rolleyes: ) there......is it me or has their range been reduced now they've had the *re-fit*?
The merchandising is dreadful too

Hi patty unfortunately this is my bigger local scrappymad goes there too doesn't she but ive not seen her on here for ages.
They can't fit as much stock on the shelves now as they aren't wide enough i can see lots of problems with low and no stock and staff trying mad to re-stock. We won't be able to get items with till splits as their is only a few items per product out now, Can you imagine the 75% where will they put the stuff?
Did you notice if they had any reduced nappies? any other good bargains? i have got to pick up some pic tomorrow.

Some of the vouchers that i used have been from the acm and from the magazines and some were given to me also some were from the spring mailing, i have not used that many baby ones

hi moneysaver12.

I'd suggest taking valk_scot's advice and other posters who know about Boots T's & C's.

If you tell them the truth when they ring up - that you might have used vouchers that friends have given you etc, but you have used legitimate ones too - then they might look at it more sympathetically. At least I hope they do, and if you don't say anything that they can contradict, then that should go in your favour too.

Wish I could help more, but I can't, so I'll just wish you luck and hope that it all turns out ok.
