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

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.

Thanks Crazyposhgal. This thread is faster moving than the Mersey.

Certain colours in this range-Garnier Belle Colour are reduced at the moment. I paid 29p a box this week for my colour.

Some were priced at 23p and others at 97p. The remainder were still full price. Well worth checking if you use this range

Take 2:

I have some Lancome products in my .com basket.....because I really want the free bag...looks lush;) Of course you have to buy two Lancome products to get it free (but they also give you a second freebie...so got to be worth it). Of course, then if I add one more premium beauty item I'll get 1000 points....so added an Urban Retreat £5 thingy mentioned by Mumzy above (don't know what it is, don't want or need it but hey it works to give me 1000 points)

Now...the dilema is I've only spent £27 - do I pay delivery...or do I find some other necessities to take the total over £40 and get free delivery:rolleyes: or do I keep going because I know that if reach £60 I will get 600 AC points AND there is a code floating about for a further 500 points.

Decisions, decisions.......and do I NEED any of it:rotfl:

I am going to leave it in my basket for two hours....if it's still all in stock when I go back and I decide I NEED rather than just WANT it then I submit the order.

Boots know how to pull us in....we think we are playing them at their own game, but they are not daft by any stretch of the imagination.

Don't keep going up to £60 for the sake of 6 quids worth of points babe.. Not ideal moneysaving IMO.

Although i did order things last night primarily to get the lancome gifts (all for me me me this time, and as it happens, i also met the points criterias too yay

) the things i bought to get them, my mum is giving me the money back for as she's order through me to help me get points/freebies, sweet!

If you can find a use for your order go for it,(or get someone to order through you like i did and recoup the money) but if not, i'd hang tight until you NEED something form there, and don't worry, the 600 and 500 points will be around for a bit yet...as will the GWP

i put more extra points codes in the codes thread yesterday one for £50 spend an one for £60 spend

I know, i used one! lol for my lancome spend (only after the free juicy tube and eyelash curlers lol)

Thank you again, your a star x

I bought two of these the other day and they were 50p each but caused a problem as they were free so had to be put through as a random code thing. Gave one to my mum and the other is in my handbag to encourage me to stop using carriers. Although I am not keen on buying a new blouse and sticking it in a bag that might have had food or something that could have leaked in it before hand(like a boots bag with leaky toiletries!!).

I know.....I think that's what I was trying to say. It's so easy to get carried away and lured in by Boots. As I said in my post, we think we are playing the system with Boots (and often we are), but they know what they are doing.

The order has gone in now:o but I'm proud to say it was for £29.95 (including delivery:mad:) with 1108 points back.....and I get to have my lush Lancome bag. I can live with that
