  • Are Boots CS good to deal with for points issues?

    Reason I ask is because I decided that with the current points offers I would treat myself to some GHDs:

    GHD Styler £98.00
    Heat pouch £3.99
    TOTAL - £101.99

    Free delivery when you spend £40
    1500 points when you spend £75
    1000 points when you spend £100

    Which should give me 2904 points, but my confirmation email says 1943 points, even though it shows the point codes applied.

    Okay so I phoned CS and got moaned at for using promotional vouchers when there is a points promotion online :naughty: I pointed out that boots.com always have online promotions on, which he agreed with me and then I asked him why they were points codes in the gift catalogue :confused: (I wasnt going to let him off the phone until I had my points) He added the extra points!! Result :j

  • just a quickie, I have a pinkie, if I bought the 1/2 eyelash curlers and 2 x 1/2 price pedicure sets, all no 7, would I get 342 and £5 off with the pinkie, or are the 1/2 things not on 342? hope this makes sense. ta

    Thank you! :D

    I looked at all the shelf prices to find anything for £9.99 but nothing at all in that price range. Going to try another branch tomorrow as I think I need them :rotfl:.

    Hi there

    In my store they are not on the normal shelves. They are in a large cardboard stand on an aisle end with all the UG stuff that is on 2 for £6. HTH
    :)I used to have a life............................... before MSE!!
  • thanks KD, didn't think they would be, but would I still be able to use my pinkie on 1 foot pedicure set?

    Hello everyone,
    I would really like to try the mens no 7deal with the free GWP but after having a really good look instore I couldn't see it anywhere, so I asked the girl on the no 7 till and she said that it is not out until next week. I said I thought that that was the women's one and she told me it was both. Very confused now. Am surprised that such a big store doesn't have the GWP.

    There is a mens No.7 GWP around at the moment, I know cos I got it!. Its when you spend £15 on mens No.7. It is a black cloth zipped bag with about 6 mini's inside + 250 points wyb any mens No.7. There is also 342 on mens at the mo, so as long as your pre 342 spend is £15 or over you should still get GWP (SA dependant!)

    I think the one the No.7 girl was talking about is the new one that is in the xmas book. It's out in November but is wys £20 on mens No7. It is a grey leather zipped case.

    That's what I thought so thank you for that. Are there some stores that simply don't have the GWP then? It's just too good a deal to pass up what with the 342, pinkies, till spits and potential extra points!
