hi people, I went to my local Boots yesterday lunch, checked the Advantage machine and didn't get any of the point vouchers at all. Haven't shopped at Boots since Xmas - would this be the reason why? If so, anyone recommend any specific items that may help boost this next time I check?

can anybody answer please?

Always do. Problem was the first store I tried had loads of EI....just no working Advantage machines. So I got all excited when I saw the bottles. Until I got to the machine and saw the 'out of order' sign, whereupon I felt like someone had stolen something from me (daft I know....but suspect i have Bootsitis)

I have used a voucher from the machine in a different store to the one I printed it from. On the same day.

I don't know if it will work with the EI.

I think it says store of issue only on front/back,. But the SA didn't know which store I 'd got it from as it's not shown and just put it through.

Might be worth trying with a less valuable one than the EI one.

stevenevermind.. Not 100% sure but think it gives you vouchers based on the type of things you usually buy.. eg, cosmetics, baby items.. etc

Not everyone has had the EI voucher.. some only had it once.. and some twice!

Why its not giving you any at all.. dunno about that one sorry!

I used EI voucher on different day of printing and in different store too I explained to the cashier that I had printed it as I wanted to buy some but the store i got the voucher from didnt stock it and she tried it for me - BINGO :T

I also read somewhere that the ACM vouchers are linked to what you buy. If its any consolation I have a new card and there is sod all on it in the way of offers! :mad:

Following taken from boots.com advantage card page of Q/As
My friend and I used a machine after one another. She got an offer that wasn't made available to me, but that I would have liked. Why is that?

The offers made available to you are based on your purchasing history at Boots stores, when you have made purchases using your Advantage Card. We try our best to tailor offers to individuals depending on what they've bought in the past and whether or not we think it will be of interest.

Sorry to hear you have lost your card, its a real bummer!!
Here's a tip i posted on part 6. I lost mine and as i could give tha card number the lovely chap said it would be ghere within a week! Sure was and included all the points!!

:dance: Tip - keep hold of one of your receipts as at the bottom right hand corner is your card number and if you turn the receipt over the number to phone is listed. Let them know your number, confirm details and they will transfer over those precious points to a new card and send it out! No more panic just frustration if there is a good deal going!!:wall:

take care

Quickie....somehow I've got two cards. Don't ask how...no idea. Plan to see if I have an EI voucher on card 2 tonight and plan to use it on my usual card. Should there be a problem at the till?

Or that's the plan, if the machines are working this week anyway.

HI ALL

I HAVE JUST PURCHASED 10 MINATURE TREVOR SORBIE FIRM CONTROL GEL 50ML and used the 100 points coupon, ( just chancing my luck ) and it gave me 1000 points . Now i bought 10 gels @ 44 pence each , think this must be my first money saving bargain. These will be ideal as my son goes away a lot and NEEDS his gel so ideal . Also in my branch got the kangol shower gel and anti pesp. for 77 p each. Thanks to till operator linda who was very helpful, :T :j
may not be the same in every branch but worth a try

Did you use only 1 voucher to get all these?

Or did you print 10 vouchers?


Can anyone help?


Thanks Maisie
