yup that happened to me today too

I think I am going to e-mail them cos it's twice this week. I have all my receipts from this week laid out here, looking for some kind of pattern but I don't see any thing!

I have only been Bootsing for a month myself lol! My house has been taken over by bodyform and all my bargains :rotfl:

:rotfl:

it's probably a good thing I didn't get any more as I'd have been plotting how to spend that one too!!! Let me know how you get on, mind you I might include it in my e-mail later too.

Just got back from my lunch time Boots trip. I bought:

3 x Boots own batteries 5.98 (3 for2 offer, 50 points)
2x Boots mouth wash 1.99 (bogof)
4 x SC face mask (100 points each)

Total - £11.53.
My receipt says I have received 550 offer points, surely it should have been 450? I also had a double points voucher to use.

the double points voucher didnt double the 600 points I received for 6 x face washes. It only doubled the other points on that spend. I assumed that was the way it was set-up - have I been robbed?

A word of caution on No 7 organisers.!

Have just returned from shopping and bootsing. My local store (Greenock, Scotland) no longer has the No 7 organiser on offer - it is back to £15.00, also the pack that had small bottles of the face creams and cleansers etc is also back up to £15.00. Also a number of sun care offers that were bogof have gone too. So this might blow everyones hopes of only spending £5 or less to get a lilac bag!!! Hope not.

How strange, I just saw these this morning in our boots, with a big reduced introductory offer sign showing £9.99 - it quoted they would be £15.00 from April. I decided against buying another as I already have 2 and 2 lilac bags, there is only so much make up one can wear.

I was really looking forward to my Boots trip today, planned out with all the precision of a military campaign. And then I got the crabby SA, disguised as a beautifully made up young woman, but she was still the crabby one. :eek:


She went through my basket before she even tried scanning anything, removed the Max Factor brushes and the lilac bag, saying that I needed qualifying purchases for those. I let the brushes go, but said that I had the No 7 organiser, and that it was priced at £15 on the No 7 shelf - which it is. She wouldn't even try scanning it!

So all I got was the one bodyform, some handcream for DD, and 4 face masks. And she wasn't happy about that when she noticed, and I am sure she would have loved to remove the points!

My fault I guess, I should have gone when it was busier. I will try again on Saturday morning.

We have a single queue system, so it isn't very easy to choose an assistant, but I may try another counter.

Still, with the points I now have enough to get the No 7 makeup I want, and will get a lilac bag with that - you do get one if you pay with points don't you? Otherwise, I may cry...

Hi Boots Tarts and Pah Club!
I am relatively new to this site, only having found it a month or so ago. I am amazed at all the different ways people are saving money and getting the most for the money that they are spending. :shocked:

This is my story.

Last month my kids and I were all ill, so I nipped into the closest chemist to us, which happens to be Boots. I bought some medicine which came to just over £10 and was given a voucher for £5 off Olay Roc and some other stuff. It went into my purse and was almost forgotten. I did manage one return trip but had two under 5's with me and just didnt know what to spend this voucher on! So I left the shop and the voucher went out of date.

Then I found you lot!!!!! :T

Last week my Mum bought some stuff in Boots and was given the No 7 voucher. She gave it to me as I am more likely to spend it. Well, after finding this site and then this Boots thread, I knew just what to do with the voucher! :j

Before reading all this, I would have assumed that you had to actually be paying £15 to get the free lilac bag, when in fact you dont need to, and can actually get it for as little as £2.50 cash with 250points added back onto your card. I would not have thought to have done more than one transaction to get more than one No 7 £5 voucher. I didn't really bother much with the ACM, so never realised that you could get extra points vouchers from the ACM, where you actually received back more than you spent!

So, yesterday while the kids were still at my Mums (:heartsmil 'love you Mum!') from sleeping over the night before and while my OH was writing a quote for work, I told him I needed to go to Boots for some girlie stuff and wouldn't be long.

So armed with my list of purchases (researched from your suggestions and from Boots.com) and notes about points to get from the ACM, I had a good look around the store and I managed to get the following:-

transaction no 1:-
2 x No 7 hair spritz BOGOF at £5.50 each
2 x No 7 lip/eye shimmer BOGOF at £5.50 each
Lilac bag

The SA said did I know that if I spent over £15 the bag would be free, otherwise it would be.....she then scanned the lilac bag and said 'oh, it is free!!!'

So the total of that was £11. I used the £5 voucher Mum had given me, so I paid £6, got 24 points the free bag and another £5 voucher.

transcation no 2:-
Olay facial scrub (which I probably could have got free last month!) with a 1/3 off
3 Bodyforms on 3 for 2
Karvol capsules (200 extra points)
5 x SC face masks (100 points each)

This lot came to £13.23. I used my 3 bodyform vouchers and paid £10.23 but got another £5 voucher and 723 points.

Unfortunately I couldnt get a points for spending over £10 voucher from the ACM and there was also no voucher for 50 points on the bodyform either. :sad: So I have also applied for a card in OH name, to see if I can get different offers from the ACM.

So I came out of the shop ridiculously happy that i had just got about £70 worth of stuff for £16, had got over £7 back on my card in points, had got the free lilac bag and also the 250 points voucher inside! :rotfl: :rotfl:

I couldnt wait to get home and see what was in the bag. The lipstick is a nice colour and the lip/eye shimmer is nice too. I will give Mum one each of the No 7 lip/eye shimmers and the hair spritz as she is going on holiday soon.

If I hadn't read this thread, I wouldnt have bought all this lot, but getting it all at bargain prices means you can try new stuff without breaking the bank and i will actually use the stuff I bought too.

My only questions now are:

What shall I get with my 2 new vouchers and 250 points and
What do you lot all intend to buy with all these points you are accumulating???!!!

Didnt mean for this to be such a long post!

HAPPY BOOTSING ALL!! :j :rotfl: :beer: :rotfl: :j

well done :T :T

I think the double points voucher only doubles the actual points you get from the initial spend.. not any bonus/AC extra points for certain items... hope that made sense!
