Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 48 - Post your finds here

It is always worth getting top-ups from Boots as you get points on them & top up counts towards total spend for any ACM points vouchers.
Plus most networks have a £5 minimum top-up, so if you do you £20 top up in 4 separate transactions of £5 each then you qualify for 4 blinkies

Ooh I never knew that! I assume you can collect points on topups too?
I have been so daft.......... all this time I have been putting £20 into mine and DH phones at the corner shop! Well I know where I'll be getting them from now on! Thank you ever so much geordie_lass! :beer:

hi dont know where exactly to post this but....
i have a credit card that i have only ever used literally 2 times, both at boots.com, the last time was last wednesday during the 75% sale.
today i have found out via the card company that a 'phishing' amount of £2 was taken from my card at a completely different website about 3 days ago. apparently they take a small amount and then later go for the jugular!
i have a completely secure network at home and wondered in all honesty if within the boots.com fiasco if details had been hacked?
i just wanted to let you know just please be careful and check your statements.

Hey Bootsers I have 2 blinkies here which won't get used, would hate for them to go to waste so if anybody wants them pm me xx

These have now gone xx

I'm starting to think (and I really do hope I'm proved wrong) that the sale will not be coming back on .com. I mean, it's been a week now and surely whatever "problems/issues" they have, a week is more than sufficient time to sort it out

Leicester Town Centre

Had a profitable afternoon y'day... visited 3 B's (2 small ones) and no HB reduced was 2b found (as advised earlier); however, did some shops either to earn a blinkie or to spend them, lol!;)

1st shop

6 * Pantene sachets = £5.82 (600pts earned)
1 * Olay GWP (the only one in store and feeling very lonely, lol!:o )

Total spend £5.82 (600pts on AC) + blinkie

(was quite nervous taking the GWP as had taken some wipes to go with them but 'lost' them on my way to the till:o ... thus was very conscious (sp) re SA... but she seemed not to notice it, lol!);

2nd shop

UG mini = £1.56 (used 150pts from ACM that states not 2b used on minis:o )
2 * No 17 Trio blusher @ £1.89 each = £3.78

(I think this must have been a GWP sometime ago, b4 I went mad on this thread:o , as it comes on the receipt as GWP... they r quite nice and will go very nicely for some hampers I'm doing for nurses who have been looking after my nephew at the hospital)

Total spend £5.34 initially but cost me £3.45 on BOGOF (150pts added on AC)+ blinkie

(this coz No 17 is on BOGOF at the mo and the signs @ store stated ALL No 17 w/out exclusions but had a 'fight' with ALL SA's as suddenly every1 has an opinion which is NOT to give the cmr the reduced price... continuosly was told these were on clearence thus not on offer... pointed out to the signs which DID NOT exclude clearence items...);

3rd shop

6 * No 17 Trio blusher @ £1.89 each = £11.34

Total spend £11.34 initially but actual cost £5.67 on BOGOF (as per the above shop) + blinkie;

4th shop

2 * R&M Lip liners @ £2.33 each (clearence) = £4.66 but FREE with blinkie

(tried to give 2 pts vouchers on these, 1 for 500pts from mailing and another one from a gift set (?)4 250pts but SA advised these would no go thru coz of the £5 vouchers being given out ; asked her to try and the 500 pts one went thru - tho it stated NOT 2b used on clearence, lol!:o - but not the 250pts which was given back)

Total spend £0.00 (with 500pts added on AC);

5th shop

2 * R&M Lip liners @ £2.33 each (clearence) = £4.66 but FREE with blinkie

(this was pd at another till and the SA added my 250pts manually:T )

Total spend £0.00 (with 250pts added on AC);

6th shop

2 * R&M Lip liners @ £2.33 each (clearence) = £4.66 but FREE with blinkie

Total spend £0.00

7th shop

No 7 After sun cream (clearence) = £4.43 but FREE with blinkie

(tried to use the 250pts but was given all sorts of explanation why these could no go thru...:rolleyes: );

Total spend £0.00

8th shop

No 7 Night fluid cream (clearence) = £4.78 but FREE with blinkie
UG mini = £1.56 (used 150pts from ACM)

Total spend £0.00 (150pts added on AC);

9th shop

No 7 Night fluid cream (clearence) = £4.53 but FREE with blinkie

(same cream as above but with a different price?!; here the SA had agreed to put the 250pts manually but changed her mind when I pd with my blinkie :mad: ; howeva in her confusion she gave me my blinkie back with my receipt, lol!:D )

Total spend £0.00

In Total

I spent £15.24
Saved with Blinkies £27.72
No 17 BOGOF £7.56
Xtra Pts added to AC 1650pts
General pts to AC 28pts
Earned 3 Blinkies

Hi - they can be used on clearance No 7 but I haven't found they won't work on sale items ie Christmas 75% items.

Would it be that Mr B's systems not only crashed when 75% sale was on (briefly!) but problems arose from this? Problems with payment taking, etc?:eek: Whoever rec'd the orders were all ur payments taken correctly/not taken(?)... many times when placing orders online we just assume payments have gone correctly... just a thought...
