it depends which boots you use i tend to use the fort boots as it is so busy especially at lunchtime that they never even look at the voucher and i also tend to use the pharmacy or purfume counter ive never had any probs. which boots do you go to????

Hi I usually use the Fort as well and theres one particular SA they're that always reads my coupons, dont get me wrong she's a perfectly pleasant woman but a bit to clued up!!! I've just gone back to work after maternity leave and my new local one is the big one in town and i havent quite sussed out the Sa's there yet but last week i tried the 150 points for the pure soap and i must have got the most miserable SA ever, she read the coupon, glared at me, read the coupon again, ummed and ahhed and put it through!!!

i have noticed that they have now got self scan tills in this boots, u can only pay buy card but not sure if u can scan coupons, might be brave and try it out tomorrow!!

Hi I was told that it is the last day of the £5 vouchers is tomorrow so stock up whilst you can!

I did it today by putting £10 on my phone three times, so £15 in voucher thank you Boots!

Hi Everyone
just a quick question about the 300 ac voucher. if u dont buy the product its referring to (sorry cant remember wot specific no 7 products its for) dont the sales assistants get really shirty ie "u havent bought that product so i aint giving u the points"

its just that everytime i go to the counter i always seem to get the Sa's that read all the detail on the ac vouchers and i couldnt stand it if they got the upper hand :rotfl:

hope this makes some sense as i'm trying to type, think and keep an 8 month old amused at the same time!

SA in Boots yesterday refused to even try to scan it as she said it wasn't for the No 7 item I got. I did ask just to try it as the till would know or not - but she wouldn't budge. I just said "oops" sorry when she rummaged through my bag to check if I had actually bought the item :mad: !

Leeds, kirkstall store have finally reduced the DR range, so I've indulged in a few items for myself. Not much TD, nothing under £5.

Managed to get the glitter babes party packs (thanks to OP), for 50p each they are a real bargain.

Was really cheeky and gave the SA all the Ac vouchers which included the 300 points No7 Concentrates one and she didn't even check it, so I got the points without buying the product. It was busy so I think I was just lucky. I can't seem to find the Essential Aromatherapy range? Does anyone know where it's likely to be? I've spent ages looking as it's quite a big store I assumed they'd stock it. I will look again tomorrow, I'd not planned on going however my 3 year old thought she was doing me a favour earlier by trying to clean the loo with the baby's bottle brush.....bless!

I used it recently for another product other than the range stated on voucher.. used £5 off No. 7 voucher in same transaction.. went thru no problem! kicked myself as could have put mega points on my card with the No.7 items I've bought recently!

if you're having any problems in the main Dundee store getting TD items, the lochee store has had them in stock each time I've been in

Hey there maiden_scotland, thanx for the tip. Took ur advice and went to the Lochee store 2day. Managed to bag a few things but there's not really much left of anything now and they've no DR either. Oh well, did get some wipes for free, some exfoliator for free and they had the cleanser for £2.25 instead of £4.50 too, wahay!! They've no leaflets left now though. Was it u who took all the leaflets then? Come on, own up lol. B T W, St Andrews has stackfulls of look great leaflets and a decent amount of TD stuff, but dont stock DR.

okay, the aromatherapy essential range is not reduced at some of the Manchester branches, but I found a goodie today,

The essential aromatherapy pulse point gel, was labeled as £1.00, so I thought I would try it out at the till with one of the vouchers £1 off (blue one I think), as I got to the till she scanned it as 50p, so I ran back and got another one, two for free! Left four for any other hunters out there...
