Mu SA got a bit muddled today - Bought Avene wash bar for £4 with skincare token and pack of bodyform, so the till said I was due 1p back, the SA was very confused and handed me over £1 - skipped out the shop!!! DOne another transaction and got another bodyform with the voucher, another avene bar and a no7 tan wipe - got 250 points with that!!

because teh bodyform company will refund boots £1, the till treats it as 'cash' (and all other manafacturer but not boots vouchers) you get the 1p coz boots will get it back!

Bodyform packs have a manufacturers coupon on the top (which I think is bright pink) and this gives you £1 off your next purchase. Boots currently have Bodyform on offer at 99p (you could also use other shops of course, I think several places have two packs for £2 offers)

So you have the opportunity to buy a pack, then your next pack is free - and has a coupon on, so your next pack is free - and has a coupon on, and... so on.

bodyforms have £1 coupons attatched on top and boots sells them for 99p, so i initially bought 4, got 4 coupons from a mate and was given 2 back by an sa!

so i get 10 at a time, pick up summin little to tip it over £10, and i get 10 more bodyform (of course with more vouchers on top!), £5 skin care voucher, 40+ points and 10p off my extra item i picked up!

yey!

This defo doesnt work in any boots i have been in, have picked 3 packs of bodyform to take over £10 and then used vouchers so total cash £7 something and dont get voucher, doesnt say I have earned one on receipt either, perhaps the tills are set up differently in different areas of the country?

ds2 currently has major cold - does anyone know if the karvol rub (with 200 points) is suitable for babies? he is 3 months old now. have had snufflebabe when ds1 was a baby which is ok from 3 months but don't think this has extra points on it.

Karvol Vapour rub (menthol) lists on the box as being from 6 months and recommends against use for any younger. The use by date on my box is Dec 2008, and I've figured one of them will get at least another lurgy by then! At 49p it's a steal!

No, all the tills are the same, owned and operated by head office in Nottingham. Every transaction we process is sent to head office, everything you buy is sent to head office and when there are counts of fraud on the advantage card, they will take it off you.

Thanks
