    PPS Can anyone tell me if I print out the ACM vouchers - will they accept them at other Boots stores without a ACM machine?


    Yes, I have used vouchers from other stores and they have worked fine.

    PS Will try the distraction method tomorrow as I feel another trip coming on to Boots to spend my £5 voucher and get another lilac bag !
    ;) I am the only Voucher Queen in my village LOL ;)

    Can somebody remind me - is there a voucher in the AC machine for some extra points for a certain spend amount? Is it £10 or £15? Seem to remember reading something about 75 extra points and want to make sure I maximise my points on my next Bootsing trip this week.

    thanks

    Ellie

    My card had 150 points on a £20 spend this week, last week I didn't have any offer of extra points.

    My Grans card which she probably had for years and only has £1.20 on it gave me a voucher for 75 points on a £10 spend. It had the same last week. Both times I printed it and used the coupon with my Ad card. I'm hoping that her card keeps giving these offers for me to use.

    Boots trip went well today, bought reduced mini mode top and trousers, and box of reduced nicorette, £10.50 so got No7 voucher.

    Then No7 summer organiser and eye make up remover, got lilac bag - woo hoo! paid with voucher and £10.99, got another No7 voucher.

    Then got Pre hol bag £5.50 BOGOF with voucher and 50p.

    Also been reading the posts about giving up smoking, and been thinking about it for a while, so you boots tarts have helped me save money and decide it's time to quit! Tomorrow's no smoking day too and feeling ready!

    We all have something to work out, so I am sure we all support you I need support as well as I am in a losing weight path. Since last May I have lost 4 stones and 1 pound... (included 2 1/2 this week) I have another 5 weeks in the programme and I am determined to lose another 9 1/2 pounds by the end... my trips to Boots are part of my walking programme. :T :T
    Is a WIN-WIN situation :A

    Funny little story for you all.... as it was my first Bootsing Day I had sort of planned the thing I was gonna get (PROVIDING THEY WERE IN STOCK!) so off I went got my first haul.. went ok then went for a wonder round spoke to the girl at the Clinique counter (who was fab) she gave me and my mum 2 free samples of moisturiser and serum, then went to purchase my second haul which was to be the brightening butter bogof.. was devastated to find the last two had GONE!!!!!!! so I got the bogof firm your body balm instead and other bits to make sure I got another voucher...

    I said to my mum "im gutted those 2 items had gone, I really wanted them" she laughed quite alot and then said "take a look in your bag "which i did to my amazement I found them sat there at the bottom of my bags. I had purchased them on my first haul!!!!!!

    LMAO :rotfl:

    Wow chachiluz, you've done really well! I love that bootsing is part of the programme! And wish you every success. Not too worried about tomorrow, but maybe I will go to Boots too - looking for bargains is much better for me! :A

    I have lost 5 stone on weightwatchers and kept it off now for 6 months so I have an idea how good you must feel!

    Bootsing does keep you busy and stops you thinking about your rumbling tummy lol!!

    Hi! Went to Chester Boots today - all ACMs were out of order in the morning! I asked about them and was told "an engineer's been called!" Yeah right I thought! AM I allowed to say PAH! yet as I am a newbie? I was really fed-up! Went to their Clinique counter and they would not give me the free moisturiser off handbag.com, or the free lipstick with the current company magazine! (said first offer was out-of-date and 2nd offer was not out yet??!!)

    Decided to try Debenhams and was given above freebies (with a smile!!) Had a chat and then blagged 3 more trial samples off very very nice SA!

    Decided to go back to Boots later on in the afternoon and Yippee!! The ACMs were all working!! But none of last weeks offers in it (tried 3 ACs to check!) except SC 100 pts!

    Bought No7 Firm Body Balm x2 BOGOF £8.50 - used 250 pts Voucher
    Got Lilac Bag free!
    Got 3 x Bodyform with vouchers on
    7 x SC face masks - 700 points
    2 x SC Anti-Bac gel - reduced to 70p -200 points

    Total £18.97
    Used £5 Voucher
    Used 3 x Bodyform Vouchers
    Cost £10.97 - got 1150 offer points!

    PS Distracted assistant before she looked at my points by asking really stupid question!

    PPS Can anyone tell me if I print out the ACM vouchers - will they accept them at other Boots stores without a ACM machine?
