  • They are still free in Northern Orbital Park Boots in Swindon. The official offer seemed to have changed to "buy 2, get 2 free" instead of bogof, and the prices hadn't been reduced on the labels as they have in other places, but on the receipt they came out as £1.66 for handwash and £1.99 for body lotion. Whatever the notional cost, they turned out to be free - and I got the extra points - and, even better, I didn't even realise until I had left the shop. The sales assistant scanned my receipt to make sure my extra points had been added, but didn't comment on the free items. There are plenty left. I found them with all the other bath products, grouped together. They seem to have got themselves in a bit of a pickle with this!

    Couple of questions.

    Do you need any coupons from your advantage card.
    At what time do you know they are free.
    Has anyone cleaned Lytham out.

    I can only answer you 2 of the questions you posted above:

    *The advantage card machine is giving an extra 150 points coupon for items purchased of the Everyday Indulgence range, I think that you need one coupon per item so print several from the machine before moving on to next offer 'cause you may not find the offer again. If you do not have a card/there is no machine in your store, you can still get the E.I. items for free but you will not get any extra points. Still free though ;)

    *You will only know if they are free when they hand you the receipt after paying, although no one has reported being charged since the loophole started. If you are charged, though, you can return them later and they'll give you the money back
  • You may only get one lot of 150 points because some sales assistants are more vigilant than others about the "only one per transaction" wording on the voucher. It's fine when you put things through separately, but if you're doing a "buy two, get two free" thing, you should only get one lot of 150 points. However, if you're planning on clearing the shelves ....!

    I tried this with just one bodywash to start with and it worked. However, when I tried about 10 minutes later, at the same till, it no longer worked. Oh well, 4 bodywashes to go back - maybe I will get to keep the points.
