Before I used vouchers from one card on another I spent 3 days printing of 2 different offers on each card in different stores and then checked them all to see if the bar codes were individual (sorry sad I know but I'm a worrier!) and all the bar codes for the same offer were the same - when you think that they put your card in then scan the bar code your card only registers for exampl 100 points agains TS - it can't tell if that coupon was Mrs Smith or Mrs Jones coupon. If someone really looked into it at HO they might see that Mrs Smith coupon for TS went through a till but it didn't show up on her card - but they wouldn't be able to tell who's card it was on - or if indeed it just didn't register (we all know that happens sometimes).

So that's one bit not to worry about !!

No, its like using the coupon points, say for 75 extra points for £10 spend and then returning one of the higher priced items say for £7, you have admitedly got 75pts for nothing as they don't come off your card, only 28pts would.
Dya understand me?

Hi Robb,
Surely if you take it back and give them the reciept they can see you got 75 extra points for the £10 spend and it's upto boots to take them back off you if your spend is now below £10 (obviously if you just exchanged your spend would still be above £10) - how can it be fraud if they failed to take them back?

No it doesn't come up, on your receipt. This happened in work a couple of months ago and the girl got took into the managers office and got told off for getting money for nothing.

It comes up on my reciept!

but if it didn't how would they know you'd had it in the first place?

I think we must have crossed wires somewhere because this doesn't really make sense to me - sorry if I'm being daft

The Plug in vapouriser has the 200 points but they are expensive and I'm not sure if they are effective.

Just wanted to say that the vapourisers are worth their weight in gold!:heartpuls I've used one for years, every time one of my children has had a cold/cough. It truly makes the difference to them having a good night's sleep, and THAT makes all the difference the next day (for them and me!). In fact when two of my children had really bad colds at the same time I went and bought another one.......

(I really don't like the smell of the vapouriser pads - menthol/eucalyptus- but hey! they work) Have used them since the children were tiny.
