oh and remember that when youre working it out in your basket, only the £2.84 part of the £3 in bodyform coupons counts towards your final total, if you dont pick summing else up youll be given change back instead of getting teh total speand, so pick up other items worth 18p+ per 3 bodyforms you pick up

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?

double points coupons dont double offer points sad;y otherwise we'd all be points millionaries! :rotfl:

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...

you ahve two options in cases of crabby sa's:

1) tell her taht customer services has told you that if teh till will accepot it she should and please would she try it

2) say i dont liek your attitude and would prefer to be served by someone else, take your basket and walk away to another till

to get back on topic...I put my A.C into a machine last week and it got stuck..the S.A asked me if i wanted to 'take and try' (with a 'conspiring' expression)the other cards she pulled out when she opened it up!?
surely thats close to asking if someone wants to use a credit card forgotten at the till?!

seriously?! she could have been giving you £100's worth of hard-earned boots points!!! bloomin heck! did you get her name? :eek:

god Freebie_junkie, how do you work it all out!!! clever clogs! lol
so just to get your opinion, if i bought 6 bodyform and a 17 tan wipe (free brush) +£10.51 and used 4 bodyform vouchers! does that mean i have officially spend over £10 and might get a no.7 £5 voucher?
thanks

Sorry had to get this off my chest - Here is a copy of a complaint that I have just made to Customer Service - Via e-mail.

I am really sorry to have to e-mail you again as I only made a complaint last week in regards to the service in your store and now I have gone back in and again treated appallingly.
I purchased a no7 gift and picked up a NO7 free gift bag and was also making a second purchase of No7 as well and wanted to take out the 250 points voucher from my bag to use on my second purchase - I thought that this would be fine as I would have paid for the bag and "owned" it by the time of the second transaction.

However the sales girl was very rude to me and practically accused me of stealing! I said that I did not want to use it on the first purchase as I understood that I could not do this but wanted it on the second.

The sales assistant then turned to her collegues raised her eyebrows and huffed and put the first transaction through - at the end she remarked "I suppose you have a No7 voucher as well!" which I did.

On the second transaction I was also buying an outfit for my daughter and the total came to £9.99 so I asked if I could make it up to over £10 to get another voucher - again a huff and a remark made about the length of the queue. I handed over my No7 voucher and product - 250 point voucher and made my payment with another No7 voucher. "Oh you have another one do you!" quoted the sales assistant. Took my payment and shoved my receipt in the bag.

I was in a rush and went to leave the store and then the most embarassing thing happened that the security alarms started to bleep as I left the store. 2 sales assistants came running over and I stated that I had just bought a No7 gift from upstairs. They then made me empty my whole bag - even though they knew which one had the tag on and then made me go through the whole receipts - this is when I noticed that the 250 points had not been added on! However I was in no mood to ask them to add them then.

I was treated like a thief even though I had receipts to prove that I had purchased everything.

What with a sarcastic sales assistant and other assistants who think that they are part time police officers I can safely say that I have never been so embarressed in my life. I just hope no-one that I know had seen me.

I would like to point out the only reason I had so many No7 vouchers is that I am a REGULAR CUSTOMER, not that I got treated like one today.

I am sorry that this e-mail is so long but I am so annoyed if I don't get it off my chest now I will become more angry.

good for you! more people need to stand up to poor srevice! i always complain if things arent as they shoudl be and boots are very good at compensating you, ive had £30 worth of giftcards so far....
