STILL NO VOUCHERS IN THE MACHINE FOR ME! NEVER HAD EI/FCUK/LYNX/NO 7/TS - ITS NOT FAIR!! :mad:

How many points do you have on your card - I'm wondering if that is what dictates what offers you get. My OH never gets good offers either, I am currently using his card (they never notice) to see if accumulating more points will help!

Anybody else any idea if the amount of points you have is what the offers are based on?

Just came back form Boots.

Tried TS with minnies - got 5 face washes and 5 hair gels plus anti-perspirant (new), shaving gel(new) and full size body spray and post shaver soother. Got £4 of, but only 200 points for full sized products. Don't know what will do with hair gel, but don't mind using face wash myself (just tried and I quite like it, not sure about smell though...)

There are no new offers in the machine - I was hoping for Britta cartrige as I need new one very soon.

One find:
200 points for Cura-Heat and TermaCare. These are really good, at least for me. I used to have horrable back pain and nothing would help. These patches cured it and I haven't had any pain for a while now. Also, they are good for period pain, although specific ones for period pain are not on offer, but I will try to use normal ones.

i have slightly more offers on mine than dh's - i have £60 odd worth of points & dh now has £9ish after using the lynx click vouchers on his! his offers are mainly for men's bits though so that might be why. think it's just pot luck tbh as different stores sometimes have different offers!!

It's nearly the same with ours (though I only have £30 ish) and OH has £8 I'm wondering if over £10 of points gets the better offers?

Anybody got great offers with only £1 or £2 worth of points on they're card?

Can anyone confirm that its still working with EI vouchers, as if I do get another voucher I don't wanna buy loads n not get the points!!

Trevor Sorbie 100 points AC voucher

Well that's 3 reports now that would seem to suggest that Boots have closed the loophole whereby the TS voucher gave 100 points for each TS item purchased - even minis.

Has anyone tried to print more than one TS coupon and use it in the same way as the Lynx Click voucher? Ie print 5 vouchers and present all 5 in one go?

That would mean that the SA would have a reason to disallow a voucher being used against a mini item though.

If the AC machine will still let you print off more than one TS voucher, you can of course still put the items thru as single transactions.

Wonder if this has got anything to do with today being Wed, which is when the machines are supposed to be updated?

Hi

I have now got 3700, I also tried OH card who has 999 and we both had no vouchers except for 100 Mark Hill i'm beginning to think it could be certain stores. There was loads of EI stuff on the shelves so maybe no-one from this store were getting any vouchers - might be an idea if you mention the store you got your vouchers from and we can see if there is a trend.

Thanks

With the Hair Gels, just take them back (if you still have your receipt) and say that you've "changed your mind" and ask for a refund.

Without a receipt, you'll be entitled to an exchange.

Birmingham Harbourne High Street branch have a lot of different items reduced near the back of the shop to £1.00 and 50p. I brought £78 worth of stuff for only £9.00, including OC8, Almay, Botanics and Ketugo? spelling products.

Hi Darren - if you can stand the embarrassment should you have to return all but one of them , I'd say go for it! No-one's so far reported the EI loophole being tightened up, and those vouchers are like gold-dust.

Brummiebird did you that there are 6 Boots stores in Town though the smaller ones do not have an ac machine. I found some good buy's in the one the other side of the Mcdonalds ramp just past Superdrug yesterday.
