Default Boots £5 No7 voucher is back...

popped into boots this morning and they were giving out the £5 No7 vouchers again with a £5 spend

Also, lots of good offers on ACM for a change. The best ones I got were 300points on T&G and 750 points on R&M (WYB 2 items) I managed to print off 10 R&M vouchers by using several different ACM machinesI gained over £20 in points today I grabbed a copy of the crimbo catalogue, but not looked at it yet!



I'm a boots addictI have more R&M lippies than you can shake a stick at

Looking on boots.com, and seeing that the cheapest RM item on there is £4, I've got a fair idea how sally may have got her points!

But you have to buy 2 items to get 750pts so you would still be 50p down... or have I missed a glitch somewhere???

I'm only guessing but I imagine that's the gist of it. Unless there's any reduced RM stuff in your store or anything exclusively instore that's under £4.

I think I can guess the rest (and you can too if you think about it!), so it's best not to spell it out too definitely in the thread or it will get busted!

Many of us always made a point of not trying to spell out glitches over and over. Now that you don't have to wade through a big thread (the one that was closed), it's much easier for the glitches to be spotted and busted by Boots, so I think people are trying to be more careful. Those who were regulars on the old grabbit forum saw it happen repeatedly and learned that discretion is the better part of Bootsing.

Eeek! Someone from boots reads these forums? Or is it people reporting or something? I think i worked out the glitch though. Thanks

I know it seems a great shame, but when we had the old thread running, there were so many posts, often 40 pages in a couple of days! - so, as others have explained, the actual glitches were "hidden" in amongst the posts about my days out, and the state of my bunions, but there were some great offers on footcare, or someone's cat being sick, but they managed to get some good wipes on 3 for 2 and 500 points etc.

Alas, due to certain posts made by a very few people, that aren't on here any more, the thread was closed down.

If you imagine yourself going into Boots and buying some things, paying for them, using any available vouchers and offers etc, and then thinking about (1) what you paid (2) what stock you now have (3) how much your stock is worth and (4) how many extra points you've got, it'll all become clear!

But don't be surprised if you don't get the same vouchers from the ACM that others mention. We don't all get the same, and there's absolutely no rhyme nor reason as to why this is. Happy Bootsing!

xx

as the thread was so large, I seamed to miss out all the glitches then, by the time I found them they no longer worked
Was hoping they could be disscused this time, but obviously not!

As the new £5 voucher is gold in colour, I shall be thinking of it as a Goldie! Had to stretch my brain to think of that one!!
