    thought I had joined the parenting club (another miracle pregnancy), Then this am had a letter from boots saying they were aware that I had tried to join but there had been a problem which they have resolved to apologise for the delay they have sent me 500 free points with the £16.50 free no 7 voucher,the magazine and more offers and treats will be sent asap, I LOVE BOOTS :j :j :j

    I got the night cream - have been using regularly and it is lovely. just put a few more bits in your basket and go to the photo counter or to a young boys assistant, hand over all items then vouchers at the very end. I bought 2 No7 suncare products on bogof at £7.50 and got the free bag - so was delighted!
    No Longer addicted to Boots! - Well not today anyway!! :blushing:

    no sorry love they wont do it anymore, theyre not allowed :(
    (The above was in answer to the question "Will Boots add on AC points for unvalidated receipts?").

    For anyone interested, during a call to Customer Care (for tel no, see post 1) recently, I explained I'd missed out on points to the value of £1.05 (hardly breaking the bank, but still £1.05 :D) and the lovely CS lady credited my a/c over the phone "just this once" ;).

    I didn't directly ask her to, just asked her several times if there was anything I could do to get them added after she'd initially said it wasn't possible without a validated receipt.

    Try it folks, you may be lucky! :)

  • Forgive me if this has been posted before, but the following offer is still on at https://www.bootsphones.com
    If you buy a contract phone from them, and you have a choice of phones and networks, you can bag up to 36,000 points which is £360 worth of points to use in store. I took out the offer at xmas and the option I took was a phone on the 02 network which is £30 per month ( £360 a year ) and you also get 200 minutes a month free, cross-network and also 100 free texts to use a month too. The only catch is that you don't get your points until the 7th month of you having your contract and its up to the individual to remember to email them to request their points to be added. I'm guessing they are counting on the public to forget about asking for their points to be added! However, we've set several reminders on our phones to remember to get our £360.
    The plan is to buy a couple of ipod's, flog em on ebay for almost what I bought my points with.
    By the way, our BT home phone bill has plummetted as we use the mobile to call using free minutes.
    Hope this info helps someone!

    According to MSE reports over the last few days, this loophole has now been closed and you only get 150 points in total, regardless of how many items you buy. Very sad, but am sure a new loophole will open up soon!

    Just been to yet another boots and got loads of bargains. Johnsons Soft Wash huge bottles 77p so bought 3. Wide necked feeding bottle 61p. Another pack of free Bodyform (with another voucher on top). 2 green roll on Soltan kids sun cream 49p each but went thru the till at BOGOF!!

    Went for lunch then went back and got 4 more roll on sun lotions and another packet of bodyform. Was 97p for all 5 items and the SA had a fit!!! She queried it to another one who said it was correct!! Then noticed the green roll on sun lotions are supposed to be £5.99 each!!! And i got 6 for £1.46 instead of £35.94!! Really pleased.

    They didnt have a AC machine tho!
