Sorry to ask perhaps obvious question......But what is this deal about ???

Do I need to print voucher off for everyday indulgance products for the extra points (saw it today - did not print though!) and the items go through free but get points as well ....????

Yes- print voucher for 150 extra points. There seems to be a glitch where some of this stuff is scanning at 0p. The points get added on, as normal.It is also on BOGOF, but not much much point when it is free. I don't know what would happen if it was the only thing in your basket- I had other stuff.
:santa2: Boots staff seem to be totally governed by what things scan at- the prices are all set elsewhere and they can't mess with them.

Did you need to hand 8 vouchers to the assistant to get the 1200 points, or was only one voucher needed? Does anyone know the answer to this. Thanks.

I think you need to print off a voucher for each item. Also, in my store, they only let you have one voucher per transaction, though they are happy for you to do lots of transactions one after another.

Went to Boots again today - are you only allowed one '100 points for professional hair products' voucher from the advantage card machine? The reason I asked was I printed one off and went to see if they had any more sachets.

I got this coupon a couple of days ago and it was the only one that once you had printed it off, the option to print it disappeared from the screen. All the other offers let you print off more than one voucher. Not much use though as the assistant said I could only use one of each.

It says on the coupon, one per transaction. However, they seem to be fine about letting you buy things in different transactions one after another. I felt like a bit of a womble with my evian stuff yesterday; it took 3 transactions on my card and then I bought stuff on points.
The assistant yesterday insisted that I couldn't use even the evian bogof to buy stuff on points, though I'm pretty sure you can.. am I right?

not sure, i couldn't use a parent club £1 off nappy voucher yesterday when buying with points. all it says is 'take this voucher with your advantage card ... blah blah ...'

Hi McCalister I tried this at our boots and insisted the assistant try this and it worked.

I'm sure someone here said they'd used the Evian BOGOF voucher when paying with points...

I was really annoyed yesterday when I saw reduced Everyday Indulgence stuff but the AC machine didn't offer me the vouchers!!! This was obviously before I saw the post about some of the stuff scanning at 0.00...

Noticed a new offer on the machine though! 200 points when you buy Boots Detox (in the healthcare section). Most of the stuff in the range is expensive, but spotted a face mask at £3.99 and the range is BOGOF, so would work out free if using two vouchers. Didn't buy them though, as still have plenty Mediterranean face masks

You certainly can as I used a bogof one with the evian and also a 10% voucher for a camcorder then voucher. Don't use a points added voucher though they will not be accepted.

i saw a vtech toy phone for £9.99 when i got to the till i asked the sales assis if it was reduced to half price she scanned it and it came up at full price without even saying anything she over rode the system and sold it to me for £4.99 i was well chuffed as i dont think that it should have been reduced.
