Sorry to sound stupid but HOW do i clear cookies, not computer minded. Thanku

another thing you could try, (others have mentioned it working) is to go into your boots account, remove the health club from your account, remove you advantage card from your acount, then add you advantage card back again and add the health club again, worth a try?

if you're using firefox
log out of boots.com
go to top of browser, click tools, click options, click privacy tab, click show cookies, type boots into the search box, all boots cookies will show in the main box, use the remove cookie button until all the boots ones are gone (you can remove all cookies, but this might mess with bank sites, passwords and personalised settings so only recommended if you can remember all that stuff)
I delete boots cookies every couple of days 'cos otherwise I get lots of generic errors etc. ( I never order stuff, though, I just like making virtual baskets :rotfl:)
I will update for IE in a moment.
IE
log out of boots
go to top of browser, click tools, click delete browsing history, click delete cookies, click yes. all done! hth

Thanks have done all that, but no still showing as full price, maybe I am just one of the people that this glitch is not going to work on. Thanks anyway.

Are boots not more recession proof than other shops (relatively speaking - I don't mean they are totally immune), certainly in their core cosmetics business? I think I saw on the news that people are still spending on make up and cosmetics etc but not buying as many clothes - going out less means fewer party frocks. Plus an item of clothing is a lot more expensive than 1 new lipstick. The only area where boots are more exposed is their xmas gift market - hence i suppose the potential for bogof!

I think they've got a good thing going on with their AC scheme. They can offer extra AC points as an incentive to spend rather than money off but the customer has to spend those points in Boots stores so it keeps business going for Boots. I think you're right though, the Christmas gift competition is fierce at the moment, Mr B knows that whatever isn't sold before Christmas will have to go at 75% off in January so fingers crossed for some good offers very soon.

I wouldn't ring CS - it's a glitch, so they aren't meant to be that cheap.

is it a glitch ??

i thought it was just a case of heath club half price clashing with a 342.

Tried all this but still getting the same result as Sarahdol. Other week managed to get slimfast cheap with the glitch though. Is anyone managing to get 3 4 2 + half price? (dont want anymore slimfast tho, just virtual basketing )

I think it is a glitch as it causes 6 for 1. If the two offers simply clashed it should cost £7.35 for 2 (£7.35 each, pay for two at half that price). I think people were getting 6 for £7.35 (£7.35 each, half price so £22.05 for 6 without the 3for2 but then it takes off the 3for 2 at full price, even though you've paid half price)
