Still have 3 till spits to use ! No sign of any cheapish stuff to use them on and today the TE hand treatment beeped and they would not override it. Getting just a bit fed up with Boots-hope the new ACM vouchers are better else may have to give up Bootsing!
I'm with you on the "getting jut a bit fed up with Boots" bit! Finally found a store with Time Delay Handcream in, and the S.A. wouldn't let me get it - "It's not facial" - wouldn't even try to scan the voucher (guess this explains why they had them left the shelf!) I had several to redeem and I know from you lot on here ( and from flashes on the SELs in other stores: "redeem your voucher on this product" ) that you can get handcream with the vouchers. Fuming.:mad: Won't get chance to spend the tillspits now - and bought stuff I didn't need in order to get them. So I guess "getting a bit fed up" doesn't actually quite cover it!0 -

Only one that seems useful is the 200pts on no7 suncare/tanning if you can get a no7 tan wipe0 -
sorry to ask - am i correct in saying that you automatically receive 200 points for buying 'photo corners'??? (are these the ones in a little packet??) and is it BOGOF??

Hi clare+3
I'd question that with CS - it was one of the reasons I once had points added. Seeing as the majority of us have been able to get TD hand cream - it just reinforces the idea that the SA might very well have been wrong refusing you - especially as she/he didn't even attempt to put it through the till.Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive. ~ Sir Walter Scott0 -

Still had no reply to the query about the till receipt I've just posted (but it's very early days) it looks like I got the 200 points for the photo corners.
And yes, they are in a little packet, and when I bought them, they were bogof.

Edited to add: I did have to use one of those rare 200 point acm vouchers though.Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive. ~ Sir Walter Scott0 -

How annoying clare! I am a terror and would have made them call CS up whilst I was there, but I like an 'argy bargy' with an SA if I know I am right!
Is there no way you can use the spits before tuesday? How many do you have? Or could you post to another bootser who is local and see if they could pick up for you?
I'd call CS myself! Last time TD was on and i'd spend alot to get the spits, when I would not have bought the stuff I scanned my spits(vouchers I think actually) and emailed them that there was no stock of the items etc. I had a reply that they could issue me a letter to take instore to allow me to use these vouchers after the promo had finished and the store had stock or that they would issue points to my card. I opted for points and they gave me 4000 for the spits and 1000 for my troubles etc.
Now I was just pushing my luck as CS could have just said it was down to stock availibility, although it was backed up by the fact that CS checked stock levels at the store and it seemed that stock was being kept off of the shop floor etc. However, due to the fact that you have been refused etc I'd personally call them up and say that you do not think it is fair that you are loosing out, after spending lots on un needed products to get them, due to staff not knowing the criterea and that you will not be able to visit the store before tuesday after CS passes the info to the Store etc. I'm sure CS will give you a great response, they have always been wonderful to me aslong as you are polite etc.0 -
just a tip for those ordering online, if you haven't used the palmolive code for 75p off yet, these are on offer at 50% off at the moment. I just got one online with the code and it cost 34p.
Also couldn't help but order the sit and ride for my son (although it looks like it will need checking first:Pcoupon over here, coupon over there, every crack filled with coupons even down there(meaning under the buggy lol):D0 -
I couldnt wait to get back to tell you all about this! They have installed about 4 SS tills since I was in yesterday. Just had to use them! There were a couple of "Boots hierarchy people and SAs I have never seen before helping you. I took ages as I was trying to split my lots into £5's and was (as usual) getting flustered. My first one came to £4.98 so no voucher there!! Forgot to scan fish 100 points with £1.65 reduced deodorant but SA added manually elsewhere. The £5 voucher def works with the hand cream, put 2 through no problems. The shelf even has one of the SEL saying use the £5 to buy this item.
I had a few reduced items and the SA said she had to put them through. Is this what you need to do? Can you not do them yourself? I buy a lot of clearance and dont want to be having to get help every time.
The £5 voucher looks very different from this till. I think it will be a great help with things SAs refuse to try that we know work!!!!!!
Cant wait until a good glitch now!
Wee KMoney is only of any use if you can spend it!:cool:0 -

I soooooo want to order 4 of the bits, but I literally have not one more inch of storage and as I admitted the other day, my 12 month old has all birthdays and christmas sorted(bar a 'character toy' of the moment) till he is 5 and a hell of alot till 8!
I am sitting on my hands...argh the pain!0 -
Today I got two ACM vouchers for 200 points AND 300 points when you buy No7 Lash 360 mascara. They have different bar codes. Has anyone tried them both together?
Can you combine with the 100pnts when you buy any mascara coupon from the mailing exp 20/5?
When I put my card in the machine yesterday there were only 3 offers, one total spend and 2 others - I can't remember but of no interest, very disappointing.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0
