I meant phase out the advantage points machine, not the points system itself!

System

Mr Boots has been very harsh with Dave ever since I bought £70 worth of stuff in last year's infamous Fragrance Free/Cucumber skincare giveaway , but this week I tried the machine and it gave me a voucher for a free T & G miniature. (I "bought" a very nice everyday shampoo with it.)

Cheeky question - Does the machine ever make the same offer on a subsequent day? Or is this always just a one-off?

I've got 3 advantage cards.....don't quite know why they sent me 3 new ones but hey - I won't complain..... got 3 free packs of pantliners this weekend.

With the free Lotus tissue pods I got vouchers on 3 consecutive weeks so not just a one-off for that item.

I received a voucher for the pantyliners but the shelves were empty boo hoo

I've never had a free item voucher so can't comment directly, but I find that I get the same set of offers for a while at a time. Last month I bought three of the No.7 lipglosses with 400 points because the offer was there (and I kept getting the £5 vouchers).

Odd Machine thing today - there was a screen amongst the adverts and details of shopping evenings - before sign in - which said something along the lines of 'Get 300 points today*' and the * was 'subject to minimum spend' and it said to print out terms and conditions. So I put my card in and went through all available offers (of which there were a lot - I've had a bit of a frenzied spending pattern lately and I think they want me to keep at it!) but there was nothing offering 300 points or seeming to fill that description. One of the staff even rang up the advantage points team to ask about it but still didn't get it explained (another staff member suggested that it must be the 350 points for £40 spend - but that one is almost always there and not a sudden promotional thing as this one seemed to be. Plus of course, different points amount.)

Just wondered if anyone else has seen this phantom offer?

Like PaleScene, I've never had anything free from my advantage card offers - I only ever get extra points, usually on a ridiculous spend, like £75. But I did have the No7 400 points - which, coupled with the £5 no7 voucher meant a free lipgloss.
