Hmm here's a good one for you, if i were to purchase a £10 gift voucher would i qualify for the skincare voucher? i figure that i've spent about £30 quid lately in Boots and if I had got 3x£10 gift voucher i'd have 3 skincare voucher even before I had started buying ei and no 7

Has anyone tried this?

I thought it was gift cards and not vouchers anymore.

But do know you don't get points when you buy a gift card. As I bought two £5 ones for different people and did not get any points and that was before christmas.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before but I bought two of the T&G Style Pallets (blue or pink cases with six mini pots - 25ml - of gel etc inside them) - they're £9.99 each, but went through the till as part of the buy 2 for £7 offer. For £3.50 each they're a fab buy for gifts and it looks like it cost a lot more

Contents:
Pink Box Blue Box
Define-it Wax no-kinks smoothing balm
firm-it hair glue leave-in conditioning balm
twist-it curl balm twist-it curl balm
rubber shine styling pomade
styling clay define-it wax
funky gum summer créme

I've looked for a picture on-line, but can't find one. This was in Newport S Wales, by the way.

Think there may be a little confusion.
My question is would you qualify for a £5 skincare voucher if you purchased a £10 giftcard

Have no idea why not ring up customer services and ask them they should be able to tell you and it will only cost you a phone call.

If you where going to buy the gift card anyway it is worth a try but if you buying just to get skincare voucher then it has to be your call and you will have to take a chance.

And the point I was trying to make was that treat giftcards differently to other purchases as you don't get points. So they may be excluded like formula from the £10 spend.

Someone else mentioned these a while ago, none around here though, and I have kept a look out, perhaps you could PM Liverbird the details and then she can put it on the first post.

I read in a post the other day that somone had got a really points total for quite a low spend.

Would it be possible to divide the first thread into bargains & Maximum points?

Just a thought as I have gone mad on the many fantastic bargains and now really need to build up points. This year I hope to have enough points by xmas to do even big shopping for the kids via points.

What does everyone else think?

System

Mostly I use Boots for little luxury things that might be a bit nicer than I'd otherwise buy - ie make-up from brands like Ruby&Millie, Urban Decay and now Jemma Kidd.

Oh i love Urban Decay. I have a passion for the eyeshadows. I think i have every single one, plus a Face Case.:o Should have paid for them with me points eh? :mad: I could kick myself now i really could.

Dormouse

Well I couldn't resist a trip to Boots today and the machine offers were rubbish for me as well.

Did find the Soltans kids' sets though for £1.25 and BOGOF!!! Such a good deal I just had to get a couple Now just have to convince DH that we have to go somewhere hot to use the stuff up

Also, was wandering round the No7 stands and spotted some samples: two little pots of No7 Uplifting day cream and night cream, stuck on a bit of cardboard. They were on top of one of the stands and there were no signs as to whether they were free or not, so I just grabbed one and popped in my basket. The SA confirmed they are free and didn't even scan it.

Oh yes, and tried getting some men's razor blades but the £4 off £10 didn't work (I sort of suspected that - whoever got it to work earlier on in the thread was very lucky!).

It's gorgeous isn't it - have you seen the new individual eyeshadows and eyeliners?

I got introduced to it and took the plunge buying a face case - at the time there were six to choose from. Got a second one for Christmas and all of a sudden only two seemed to exist any more - naturally, they're the ones I already have...
