Does anyone know whether the AC machine is producing new vouchers - the only usable one that I have had recently has been the no 7 one, oh and points for spending over a certain limit. The pure voucher only ever appeared once for me! Other than that I just seem to get vouchers for really weird stuff that I won't use, and probably couldn't give away! Before Christmas I had some brilliant AC vouchers - where have they all gone?

Supposedly the offers in the AC machine get updated on Thursdays so tomorrow we may have new ones. Also it seems that Boots has recently "smarten up" their tills so when you insert your advantage card the till communicates with the a/c machine on which offers you have already taken advantage of and it does not offer them again. I guess that if you go to a different store then you can have the offers repeated but so far others have reported to be working that way: i.e. only being able to use offer once in the same store

There are new ones as well as the ted Baker and ruby and millie that are all I've been getting. However, I can't remember what they were. None looked that good, but then I've missed great offers before by thinking that and not checking the ranges.

Have had the Ted Baker ones, but wouldn't use it myself and ds and dd1 have developed a FCUK addiction, so no use for them either. R&M offer was a brush set I think, and I got a really nice no 7 one in a pink bag with my no 7 £5.00 voucher a couple of weeks ago.

My addiction needs feeding with new bargains! Never mind, I still have a couple of TD vouchers to use, mum and aunties were all pleased with the parcels of this that I sent them. Have had to phone them all today and warn them about the lip plumper - dh complained about the tingling sensation when I kissed him!

I found that I did not get offered the same deals again (ie EA range and Pure Moisture range) when I went to a different store last week.

Does anyone know what you can spend the £3 hair care voucher on please? And also are they just removing the leaflets and can you still use £5 TD/DR vouchers that you already have? TIA Rachel

I only got the pure voucher once, and I'm pretty sure that I didn't use it as I was in a hurry and couldn't find any of it quickly. Perhaps I handed voucher over and got it scanned anyway!

I think it is random. As I have been offered the own brand shampoo one three times in two different stores and taken advantage of the offer twice in the same store about a week or so apart. And it was there again the other day when I wanted to see what other vouchers I could get. In the same store that I have used it in twice.

Also just before and just after christmas I was offered the evian offer in two different stores and it allowed me to print out multiple copies of the same voucher.

Seeing as the tills are just computers with a cash draw. And the AD card machines are just touch screen dumb terminals. They are getting there info from HQ. So they are setting how what where on the vouchers.

£3 off haircare prioducts if you spend £10 ( Toni and Guy, Trevor Sorbie, John Frieda Mark Hil Lee Stafford Charles worthington ;works like the no 7 vouchers).
I was wondering if this would combine with the money off x wax from the beige leaflet.
Also, I don't see how they can renege on the offer in the leaflet easily, as it has been advertised by them- it would be an example of 'false or misleading advertising' I think.

Sorry I've got a bit lost with all the postings! A number of you have mentioned BOGOF on DR products. Is this on all the products and if so what is the best buy (assuming I can find any!)?

Thankyou

have asked this already, but could someone please clarify the position on boots.com-do the stores honour the online prices or vice versa?

cheers.

to answer your question, no they don't honour online prices - boost and boots.com run as two separate entities in terms of pricing.
