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:0 -
Well done.moneysaver12 wrote: »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.

Apologies if it's already been mentioned.
BOSS SOUL FOR MEN EDT 50ml is half-price this week - approx £16.

Oh fab. I felt really bad after it looked like my suggeestion you ring CS and ask for points might have backfired. Pleased it's all sorted for you.0 -
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!This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

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.0 -
