Can someone please tell me what the £5 electrical voucher with the mailing is? I am a little confused. Might try and get the extra £5 off at the ss tills with a ss £5 spit and a pinkie. Has anyone tried this?

Hi BBB

the £5 off when you spend £30 or more on Electrical beauty products is the same voucher as was being issued in store, but some of us are receiving it in our mailings too. As usual, it is indiscriminate, who receives what in mailings.

Haven't checked yet if they have different barcodes.

What were the MOC please? Were they for Boots or Tescos perhaps. Many thanks

If I remember correctly, 1 could be used exclusively to Boots, the Umberto Gianni one, and the rest are things like 50p off cereal, etc, so could be used at Tescos too.

I've not had a mailing in a long time, have checked online and I've registered that I'd like mailings etc - is it worth calling them?

Call them but I know people who have called in the past have been told that mailings are completely random. Worth a call, it may nudge a little cog to mail some out to you.

Not sure if this has happened to anyone else, but thought I should mention it, as I'm sure it will be pulled fast: When in my local Boots today, I was checking for offers on the clubcard machine-first a voucher for 200 points for a No.7 brush foundation came up, then a 500 point voucher! I also needed some other bits and pieces (Including some Botanics face wipes, which I got a triple points voucher for, from the machine) so I bougt them first, getting my £5 No.7 voucher. Then I picked up the foundation and asked the nice SA to try to put both vouchers through for me. She didn't think they would both go through, so tried the 500 one first. However, she was wrong, so I recieved 500+200 points, and got £5 off the bill! Since the foundation was £10.50 I made £1.50 on it! :T The other SA said she thinks it will be deleted from the machine fast as soon as someone reports it, so I suggest you're quick if you want to try this! :beer:

i didnt receive any mailings at all when i first got my advantage card. And it was because when i very first applied i ticked the 'tick here if you do not wish to receive any further information including promotions etc etc' box. Anyway, i lost my card and had to apply for a new one and i made sure i did not tick the box, and lo and behold, i got the mailings every 3 months or so.
Since then, i have changed address and since the change of address cam into effect i have not received any further mailings

I called them about 3 months ago to enquire that i used to get them and now dont and he said they only send the mailings to about a quarter of random ad card holders. He also told me that they were usually sent to the people also who spent the most money and shoppe frequently. But my points balance was on his comp when he was speaking to me and he had no idea why i hadnt got any as i had over £200 in points and didnt often use glitches or anything.
The message to me, which i shall pass on to you, is to hold tight. you may not get them every time. Otherwise, call cs and see if you ticked the dreaded 'tick here if you do NOT want...' box lol

My local Boots had a couple of good things on offer today, if you want to look out for them:
17 makeup-£1.25-£2.50, these were mostly eyeshadows
L'Oreal anti-dandruff shampoo-87p
