    For spending £10 in general, even on phone top ups. We always top up in Boots now.

    You get the voucher when you spend over £10 on everything apart from gift cards/baby milk etc etc.

    Not sure on all the exclusions but I am sure that member of staff can tell you.

    One or two exceptions such as prescriptions but it is for spending £10 on almost anything including mobile top-ups.

  • Hi
    I have been bootsing today... and I was ready for some bargains :j :j The first hitch was the machine wasn't giving me the vouchers, however the nice SA open it and there were a few mine and others... I managed to get 1 EI :j but it was for yesterday, anyway I tried to pass it on. I needed to collect some photos (3.99) and I had 100 to be added to my card.I bought:

    Sanctuary Gift bag 3 for 2 @ 75p = 1.50
    Hair Science 2 = 1.99 plus 100 points
    N C Rose pearls 2 BOGOF= 25p
    EI body wash BOGOF = 1.99 and 150 points
    17 wipe and brush 2 @1.99 each 3.98
    Bodyform 2 with voucher so free.
    Spa here I had a problem a nice SA said that they were bogof so I thought I'll get the salts 25p each and also body serum 99p and hand & foot 74 so I could do a nice package but they were not :confused: So I was not happy as the morrocan rose gift set on BOGOF is better.
    also Olay wipes, cleaser and toner

    Total spent 15.91
    Total saved 26.79
    Points added:
    received 55
    offer points 550
    double points: 71
    coupon points: 100
    Total points: 776

    I know this would have never happend before, but my daughter didn't appreciate the n17 and I don't think that they put the hair science points. :o
    never mind. It is nice to get all the freebies.

    Leeds - Albion Street, have a few reductions upstairs.

    I got:-

    Brita water filter reduced to £9.99 and used 500 points from AC.
    Baby Chou Chou raincoat and wellies reduced to £3.75
    Bratz nail art £1.66
    No17 tan wipe £1.99 plus free shimmer brush and 200 points
    Bodyform x 2 free
    3 x time delay wipes free using vouchers.

    For anyone in the area having a baby it might be worth a look in upstairs. There were quite a few baby monitors half price, the Tomy sensor was £85 reduced to £42.50 there were many more cheaper. Also reduced were washable breastpads, various baby toys, chicco bottles. I wanted to have a proper look round but my 17 week old had other ideas and screamed the place down.

    Was very pleased with the Brita buy as we've been wanting one for a while and with the extra points voucher I couldn't resist, and my 3 year was more than happy with her dolly's new clothes. All in all it was a very good day!

    Bought a Lynx gift set reduced to £3 because of a broken box.
    Contains shower gel , body spray and boxers.
    The 100 extra point voucher scanned okay.
    Also got magnetic travel chess for the princely sum of 50p!
    I am a bit embarressed that just lately , the staff give me that 'not her again' look ,and the security guard seems convinced that I'm up to no good and watches my every move!

    Used the double points voucher on a new card (daughters) yesterday.. and on my card today, it stated on my receipt today that I've used it once and can use it again before 31/03.... must be giving 2 uses per AC card and not per voucher?!

    On a different note, I wanted to recommend the Olay Total Effects hand treatment for anyone who's not sure what to do with their skincare vouchers. I'm a bit compulsive about cleaning my house and my hands get a right battering. Have used all kinds of hand creams in the past, TD, Nivea, DR, Avon, etc, but none even compare to the Olay, my hands are much softer and already look younger after only a week or so of using it.
    I've only recently got into the habit of regularly using handcream thanks to the lovely TD giveaway, but have never found a handcream that doesn't leave some residue - none of them seem to fully absorb. (And I only use a small amount.)

    I can't stand any grease on my hands - don't want to go leaving greasy hand and fingermarks all around my flat!

    So usually only apply handcream before I go to bed. (Please - no jokes! :p)

    Anyone else find this too?
