in It's gone, but was it any good?
This is continuation of Boots Grabbit Part 44
Updated - 24 December 2008

This post contains all the updated glitches, offers etc and post 2 contains Q&A so please read the first and second posts of this thread for any answers you need. This will save a lot of duplicate questions on this thread.

All Boots seems to have different policies. What happens in one does not necessarily happen in another. :mad:

BOOTS CS - 0115 918 2000
Boots Replacement AC - 0800 9150004
Boots CS Email - [EMAIL="btc.cshelpdesk_team@boots.co.uk"]btc.cshelpdesk_team@boots.co.uk[/EMAIL]
Boots website - https://www.boots.com/login/index.jsp
Boots Codes - http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=764181

Successfully getting some of the better glitches often depends on if the SA you pick is willing to try. Its sometimes sensible to buy some other things to 'disguise' your bargain. If the SA won't put it through, please don't make a fuss - they are only doing their job. Just try again another SA / store / day. It is a good idea to try and make a friend in a SA if possible.

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Combo Breaker
    First of all, many many thanks CPG for the new thread and all the work that you do to make everything as clear as possible.

    When CS kindly awarded me a lot of points last month, because of my Pampers-Gate fiasco, I specifically asked what items I could redeem them for, other than the usual things, and phone top-ups were included, and I've also used points in the past for this, without any problems.

    Following a response from another Bootser yesterday, (sorry can't find it) that these are not allowed, I was frantic with worry that my points would suddenly be removed.

    I've telephoned CS to check, and was told again that it was OK to use them for phones. I said "a friend" had said that they weren't, but CS said it used to be their policy not to accept points for phones, but they do now.

    Could this be one of these situations where it depends which CS you are talking to? I'm still frantic! :confused:

    Has anyone else used points to top up their phone please? And are they still a free citizen or have the Points Police arrested them!

    Hi cpg and thanks for the new thread.

    Btw, I didn't realise that the Hydra range went over £2 :confused: It's often found at 30p - 35p in these parts ;)

    Slimfast Smoothies glitch is back on.
    (Join the Health Club to get 1/2 price on the Smoothies. This combined with the current 342 offer means you get 6 x 6-packs for £7.35. £7.35 is the usual price for just one 6-pack!)

    Looks like another of Boots weird anomalies Sandra :confused:

    In store points cannot be spent on prescription items, infant milks (up to 6 months), gift vouchers/cards, postage stamps, mobile phone top-up cards or insurance products.

    http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/BootsMicrosites?storeId=10052&page=AdvantageCard/spendingPoints.jsp&langId=-1

    I wouldn't worry about it tbh. :)

    They range from between £1 - £3 up here. We did have shave Gel reduced a while ago to 35p but apart from that its not that cheap. My dad swears by it though so hoping to get him some and gain a few points.

    Have to admit this is the only OOTW that i have/will be going for. I have mine ready in my basket along with my 17 wipes and some RoC. Please please can someone get a code before then.

    Thank you crazyposhgal you do work hard on this. Very excited about the loreal GWP but dont think much of the Rimmel one. I'm not a palette person I like little tubes and boxes. Must be why I am sleeping rather well and not at all excited over the No.7 GWP.
