I paid with points last time Clinique had gwp and it was ok!

I had a great shop today, but did a couple of dumb things that cost me some deals!

First off, it turns out the Elizabeth Arden foot scrub *isn't* skincare, and that was my one item of skincare required to get a gwp (I thought)! And the SA also said the green tea body wash isn't skincare (as someone else on here pointed out). But she was kind enough to let me have the gift bag anyway. But if all you want is the green tea items, well, don't count on getting the EA gwp unless you are very lucky. I also didn't get the voucher for 500 points, so I assume it's something she's supposed to hand to you (as it wasn't in the gwp) -- but I'm not bothered about not getting it as technically I shouldn't have gotten the gwp. If you are buying the proper items to get a gwp, however, I'd make sure to get the 500 points voucher. And make sure you get the gwp you want, as there are two options, which I forgot, and I didn't get the one I preferred (and the SA didn't remind me I had a choice, but again, I'm not complaining as I'm happy to have the gwp and the options are only slightly different, anyhow).

Then I found two of the long No7 black bags for 1.50! Score! And I even had the presence of mind to think, OK, I still have 2 pounds left over on my voucher if I buy these, can I find something else? And yes, the glossy locks was 2.88! And I thought, ok, it's bogof and half price, so if I get just one it will be 1.44 and I won't have to pay anything! DOH! And of course the fact is 2.88 IS the half price, and I should've grabbed two as they were BOGOF and how could I conuse that?! So I cheated myself out of one glossy locks, but at least I got two bags and the one glossy locks for a grand total of 88p (after using the pinky).

Then I got the slimfast smoothies, thinking it would be half off and 3 4 2 (as I'm in health club). And then, like a true genius, I didn't use my Ad card as I was also doing the TS glitch and didn't want that on my card! So of course I didn't get the Health Club discount! DOH! I didn't realize that until I got home, and I don't suppose there is anything I can do about, as it would require bringing my receipt back in and someone might notice I got two TS items for 1p! Urgh, that's what I get for being greedy enough to buy more TS!

And finally, I mentioned the Dead Sea Source body butter set on clearance for 4.50 before, but I couldn't find them online. Turns out you spell the name as one word; thanks to PCG2001 (now happily back in Portugal and done with Bootsing days), I now have a link to it ... and the price it's going for online: 17.99!!! The individual tubs of body butter sell for 6.99 each! Keep an eye out for it; here's the link.

Hi all,

Had a quick dash in boots in doncaster today, only did a few transactions BUT just wanted to ask everyone's opinion on this - I went to the lancome counter to get some eyeshadow (of course) Got three I liked and was told I qualify for the current GWP and this pink bag (it was lush!!) got it all scanned and then SA says that'll be £36, I said I'll pay with my points - she told me NO!!! :eek: she said I could only redeem points on one item, therefore i wouldn't qualify for either gifts, even if I paid for one item with points and the other two with cash, she said if I wanted the gifts I would HAVE to pay by cash - I was so disappointed and upset - I was buying to eyeshadow and wanted the GWP as a present to myself for my anniversary

Is this a new thing? I have bought lancome before with points Then I went to the No7 till to get some nail varnish, and got a till survey - would it be worth mentioning the lancome incident on the survey? It really did ruin my day....ppffftt!

I'll post shops lata

I woukd email CS about this, or even phone. I queried this exact point with CS over a No7 GWP and they assured me that you get all GWPs when paying by points. Stress though that you'd prefer to have the GWP rather than "apology" points, and get them to ring the store involved about it.

Blodwin? Is it you? OY? Sparrow flies at midnight and all that jazz?!?!

*does another happy dance of joy*

Well I really liked it, sweetie (it was the last bottle at my teeny store sadly, or I'd have grabbed one if you had wanted it).
