    Hi there,

    Am new to this as have just got the hang of the whole Tesco thing and am keen to branch out now! Can anyone help me with the basics please?

    1. I do not have an advantage card- can I get a temporary one in boots?
    2. Where do you get the vouchers from?
    3. Are advantage points only to be used in boots?
    4. How are the points accumulated and what are they worth?

    Many thanks, all your help is much appreciated.
    Finally, anyone had any luck in Portsmouth area?

    Yours

    It's a guy on the make up counter I always go to, he's fascinated to see how my points mount up every time and I've promised to take him out shopping to show him how it's done. :D

  • I did it on Saturday. Bought 3 gift sets 3 for 2 and 3 free goody bags. also took voucher out of free bag. Was about to be served by manager but had read the thread to avoid so walked around store a little more. It was tripple points but unfortunately no machine in our tiny little shop. What a bargain anway. My first money saving deal. Absolutely thrilled. Thank you so much.

    I tried in in my local Bromsgrove Boots today, but the Sales Assistant on the make up counter was watching me put the free Gift bags in my basket (I had 3 £15 Make up sets in basket already) and she stated straight away - before I had even opened my mouth.
    ' you can't combine the 3 for 2 offer with the free gift bags - it is one or the other!'
    I guess they have had lots of people doing this (Mainly thanks to this site), well anyway I thought I would try it at the other checkout and low and behold whilst waiting in the queue the Make up assistant came up to me and said ' I will serve you over at the make up counter, to save you waiting!!!'
    I was too embarrassed to refuse. She said she would have to put them through as seperate transactions (£15 make up set + 1 free gift set).
    I did say I didn't really want to use my credit card for 3 seperate transactions, but she was most insistent this was the only way.
    I might take my items back for a refund and try at a more helpful branch of Boots.

    What a monster!

    Tell her you had a chat with your butcher and asked him how come he didn't make you pay for each slice of bacon seperately and he told you only an !!!!!! would come up with such an idea!!
