any ideas as to why i get no other offers?

Hi
Sorry no idea why, I get some and other people don't get them, same with mailings, mum gets some that I don't etc. Might have something to do with your spend history from your ad card???? Some of the more sagacious bootsers on here might be able to help!:D

Went to Boots to try the 250pts on No 7, a blinkie and a 2 pound off No 7 cosmetics (from mailing) on 4 in 1 wipes but no joy because the till beeped.
The SA said it because I already used the 250 points and a blinkie, that's why it beeped :rolleyes:

I've tried the 2pound off No 7 few times, tried to use the Lip n Eye suncare (reduced) but it beeped. The SA said because it classified as skincare, not cosmetics? I tried on the reduced nail varnish, but it still beeped, the SA said I can't use on reduced item

I'm giving up with this 2 pound off No 7, and don't have a blinkie to combine it with. Also could not find a willing Sa to manually overide it. So anybody wants to swap this with the new voucher (skincare)?

HE conditioner reduced to 73p at Pentagon Centre Chatham on a reduced goods stand behind the meal deals/chocolate. There was about 20 left today and still coming up with 100 points.

I think it's not worked this time because the item you were trying to buy is less than the total coupon amount -iyswim. I think you need to buy something that will take you just over £7.

Does anyone mind me asking how often you receive mailings? I have been a advantage card member for 5 years and in that time Ive received 2 mailings. I use my card all the time and all my details are up to date

Unfortunately, you can't use a blinkie with electrical, which includes the heated eyelash curler and the pedicure set

I used blinkies to get two pedicure sets, went through fine - no bleep, maybe another sa dependant

Have been away so just catching up on posts. I like the chat, even tho it can take ages to catch up. But I wonder if it is worth having a separate thread for .com issues? That seems to be a fairly consistent theme and might help things flow a bit. And is there a keyboard shortcut for going to the next page, by any chance?!

Does the old blinkie, exp 1 Feb, work w the new one? Or is the new one not valid yet? I've not had a chance to go Bootsing today yet.

32p each

Sorry for the scrappy post but "Need Food" (as Homer would say ) so I'll try and find receipts, or try to remember anything else I saw and post later.

I went bootsing again this afternoon:o, but to a much smaller local one.

The snowmen cameras that they tried to charge me £4.50 each for the other day were reduced to £1 and went through on BOGOF. I also managed to get sellotape gift wrap tape reduced to 40p which then went through on a linksave and I paid 20p for 2 lots. Finally managed to get the sweet lips lipbalm advertised in the new Boots Mag for 50p.

The only thing was it completely messed up my calculations for getting the new skincare/haircare voucher, but the lovely SA said not to worry and let me have one anyway.

Whilst paying I noticed crates and crates of sale stuff behind the counter, I asked wether it was sale stuff and the SA said yes and I'll be putting it all out tonight. I said I thought you'd got rid of the sale items, she replied that they had, but that they had received large deliveries of sale items over the past couple of days. So, it might be worth popping into your locals to check.

The small Boots (near to BHS) had loads of HE @ 44p - the smaller bottle 2 in 1.
Didn't get any - had left my purse at home!! By the time I got back it was shut.
