What would happen if I were to walk into a store with 4 sachets in my pocket, immediately transfer them into a basket so as not to be walking around with them in my pocket instore, adding a No7 Item I want and taking it to the till to pay...

Am I mad?

A less underhand way to rebuy would be to take a friend shopping with you, exchange the sachets without receipt for something else, and have your mate ask the cashier for the sachets because she wants to buy them.

Or overcharge yourself at the self service tills!

Personally, for a few quid in points (which remember are rubbish compared to cash) it's not worth the hassle.

I wish we had a local store that sold these, I'd buy one with my points.

hi,
i dont post often but do follow the thread, just to let anyone know that the fcuk overnight bag is available to order if you have it in previous orders . i cant find it online but i can click the reorder button and it adds to basket. it can also be added from your wishlist or favourites.

Just before xmas I ordered 3 of the No7 ultimate skincare boxes, when they were reduced to £25, and I got 3 for 2, and the No 7 GFP gold purse.
Plus I used a £5 code off my order- so it came to £45

When they arrived they hadn't been well packaged and all the stuff had come out of the black boxes, and was loose in the packaging, and 1 face mask was missing.
I called CS and asked them to replace just the missing face mask.
They said they couldn't, but if I sent 1 of the 3 back they would give me a refund on that one, and it would then be buy one and get 1 free ..... which was fine with me as I only really needed one for me and one for my mum.

Just got my refund and they refunded me £23.33, so I only paid £21.67 for the 2 boxes and my GWP - also between mum and I we gained 3 points voucher - 2 read at 500 points and 1 at 250 points - what a deal!! :j


I thought this might be useful if anyone else has a problem with 1 item, when there is a 3 for 2 offer -it's still worth calling CS and asking for a refund

Sending out a plea!

If anyone has any spare blinkies I will gratefully take them off your hands.

I am helping to arrange an event to raise money for Breast Cancer Care this year and have been buying bits and bobs when they are free or next to nothing so that they can be used a raffle prizes!

Please PM me!!

Thank you!

Hello Everyone!

I have been reading your boots pages for the last few days now after looking for a date for the 75% off sale

I worked for Boots for 4 years and wish I had known about all these glitches when I was there... I am pretty sure they have become fairly lax recently, coz I dont remember soooo many!

I am gonna head in there today for the pantene sachets if there are any and I will ask the girls I used to work with if they know the date when everything is going down again... Hopefully I'll get a date for you all!

Hope to chat more in the coming weeks!
