    As a Boots newbie I had a £5 skincare voucher and didn't have a clue how best to use it. After hovering trying to decide for ages the assistant asked if I wanted some help, I said I wanted to maximum my use of the voucher, this is what she helped me do. I wondered if you'd all think it was a good deal or if I'd spent too much just for the sake of the voucher.

    Humph! It all depends where you go - I wasn't allowed to use the voucher on a 3for2 as they said it wasn't allowed to be used with any other offers.

    I have one left - maybe I'll try with a different assistant....

    Hi all,
    The Cucumber rides again, careful how you say that.....:D

    Anybody interested how I spent £45.28 in boots today and got 8800 points (worth £88.00 :eek: ). Yep another cucumber style promo.

    Oh I'm a tease.....:)

    OK here it is (shops close soon!)........They don't keep a lot of this so it will go quick.

    I have two cards Mr --Tony-- & Mrs --Tony-- (just got the Mrs one), and thanks to whoever posted the advice about two cards I only just got the Mrs one and the offers are different on both cards and loads more on the Mrs.

    Went in today and nothing any good on my Mr --Tony-- card so tried my new Mrs --Tony-- Card and there it was............

    200 points when you buy "Young Solutions" Skincare (offer excludes face mask)smile.gif

    So went to the shelf to see what the lowest costing item was, the cleansing bar was £3.95, but face mask was only 89p.

    OK your ahead of me already aren't you wink.gif , buy one cleansing bar so you can legitimately use the voucher then fill your basket with face masks, yep like with the cucumber one the 200 points gets applied to all items in the range so you pay 89p for the face mask but they give you back 200 points (£2).

    So two stores visited today:

    Store one: 1 x cleansing bar plus 18 face masks

    Store two: 1 x cleansing bar plus 25 face masks

    Spend £45.28............. points awarded 8800 (worth £88.00) eek.gif

    I will use these face masks too, it will take a while but I will.

    Or maybe a spot of mud wrestling.

    Sorry to say If you live in Bournemouth you will have to wait till they restock.

    GOOD LUCK......smile.gif

  • Typical - yet again its for nothing i can use.

    Never mind, poor Boots are going to get ignored for a while, as im putting in a £100+ order into another smellie shop instead tomorrow.

    If the Inverness Eastgate Centre branch can't make it's targets soon, then you'll know why.

    Thats why I bought just one cleansing bar, you can use the voucher with the cleansing bar so the assistant could not say anything.

    I let her put the face masks through first (she asked if they were any good, I said OHHH yes) then handed her the voucher and the cleansing bar and said this voucher is for the cleansing bar.

    Now I have to say its not my fault the till applied the 200 points to all the face masks:)
