hmm............somethings amiss with my points from my shop today and I can't work out what but I think I missed out on 500 points somewhere:eek: can any one help please?

no 17 gwp - 0.0
rimmel soft kohl eyeliner x2 @2.99 - 5.98
ts colour root thingy -0.10
ts shampoo - 4.49
total to pay £32.xx
handed over :
250 points wys £30 acm
250 botanics hair mask
500 wys £10 no 7 facial suncare
H&B mag free ts long hair voucher
Printable Rimmel eyeliner
£5 til spit
total to pay £ 18.97 :T
However, my points are
normal 76
kiosk offer 250
*offer points* 500
went back as didn't think it was right lovely SA took my vouchers back out the til and manually added 250 (for botanics), but I still think the points aren't right
sorry for the essay!!:D

well, from your vouchers you earned 1000pts and when the SA added the 250 that would be right, plus 76 for 18 spend is right cos its 4 per £1

at least I think so

sorry did you have 750 points plus 76 normal AFTER SA added another 250pts? If so, it maybe that the 250 wys £30 acm didn't add as your final total was under this?

I think you'll find that you won't get the total spend even tho you put it through first, it only seems to work when you really do meet the spend after everything. Unless there is something I can't see, I think you might actually have got 250 more than you should have LOL

Thank you... I think I've worked out why I was confused now, didn't get 10 per £ wys £15, .........but it seems like I might have got some extra
I had 750 + 76 normal (so should this have been 180?)
then SA added another 250
Hmm was pleased with my shop anyway:D

hi guys,

I have read the first/second thread and I'm still a bit oblivious...

I am quite into my Tesco H&B deals - where you have to 'spend' more than £10 for the extra points and then after that the BOGOF's come into play and you only actually spend £5.15 or so... Is this possible at Boots?

with the MOC's do you have to buy the product?

I'm also assuming that you can basically claim all these free points and then have a store on your advantage card and then start using the stored points to 'fund' future pointboosts

You all also seem way more addicted to this than the Tesco H & B guys - which must mean there are more finds to be had! - so am I missing out big time here?

Visited Lincoln today and only went in to Boots for 2 meal deals..............and paid with points! I didn't even look for clearance ..........but did check ACM -nothing new in it for me so just walked out.I think I am beating it ................but has anyone found out if the 10 points thing is nationwide this weekend?

Most of the info you need is on the first post - thanks CPG!

Yes you have to buy the product and when you spend your points you can't get points IYSWIM
Yes it is addictive - you should see the pics of some peoples stash!

I thought that I should've got 10 points/£ for my shop today but didn't, but then again when i think about it can't remember seeing any signs in my shop either so maybe it isn't nationwide....I can't find it on .com either

Im really confused over my points too.I purchased today

1 x hair relaxer £2.84
1x meal deal £2.99
4 x JK Nail files £2 each
2 x reduced sanitary towel 50p

Total
£14.33

Got 24 Normal points, and 1000 Jk points.

When I had buyers remorse and returned
4 x JK Files on the same day
I had 32 normal points taken off, and the bonus 1000 removed

I know this has happened before, and veteran Bootsers explained why....but I cant find the post.

ah!!

There was me wracking my brains trying to get a 'shopping at boots' theme to it and it was just a normal acronym!

Ok - so final post here. With the Mr T's H&B you don't really have to 'invest' a big spend to get the points (though you have to wait for H&B booklet to come out) whereas here you seem to have to spend a lot (seeing £18/£30 etc) to get your points. This correct?

Also, I've checked out the advantage card webpage and it seems you can only spend in store- but i'm sure a few years back i saw you could have spa days etc. Is this the case?

And if you do have to spend a bit to get points then surely i should only spend on products I want. Unless the advantage points can be used for other things...

I am quite frankly puzzled!
