    Hope it's ok to ask a points question. I placed an online order last Thursday, which was delivered the next day, and I received 1300 points thanks to the points offers. But these didn't show on my in-store receipt today. How long does it normally take?

    It's ok to ask any question :)

    The points should be awarded around 5 days after your order has been delivered and are put on your card when you put it in the ACM/advantage kiosk after that time, but people have been reporting that it's taking longer at the moment. Give it another few days then put your card in the machine again - if they're still not showing, give Customer Services a call. The number is on post 1 of this thread :beer:

    I got a letter today about the problems i have being having with boots. It says that they have spoken to loss prevention and the store manager who say that i should be able to use my vouchers. They have given me 1500 points for the trouble i have had. I can speak to the store manager if i have any more problems in that store. I was complaing about the treatment towards me by staff. I think that they are on about vouchers from when i had the 17 one for makeup and couldn't use it and i told cs about it. Iam glad thsat it is sorted now thou.
    Well done.

    Any apology for them accusing you of being intimidating and abusive?

    Apologies if it's already been mentioned.

    BOSS SOUL FOR MEN EDT 50ml is half-price this week - approx £16.

    I can never decide if I like this or not - it's much nicer after a couple of hours on my skin!

    I see the Gillette Fusion Power boxsets are back again.

    Currently reduced to £10 from £20.

    These were going thru at 3 for 1 last year (until they fixed the glitch) so I'm keeping a look out!

    I think it's supposed to be 5 days from delivery - but people have been saying it's taking longer at the moment. I don't think the new .com is working up to standard yet... (is the yet a little optimistic?!!)

    Don't forget you can take other shopping with you to the Lancome counter to make your spend up to £50 - your total spend doesn't have to be on Lancome, as long as you get the two items.
