  • I went to my local Boots and every one of the five machines was out of order! :confused:

    Thanks very much for pointing it out. I won at the Meadowhall branch. :j

    The only problem that I have with Boots points is that we don't get interest on them! :)
  • I managed to win the points at the Chichester branch

    Nice way to end the working week! :j
  • No points here :(

    Really disappointed actually, at the risk of sounding ungracious - I am a very regular shopper at Boots, using my advantage card at least twice a week and I probably keep my local store open singlehandedly with what I spend in there on makeup/gifts/toiletries :rotfl:So thought I'd have had a good chance if it's 'preselected' - yet I've heard people say they've won who hardly ever go into Boots :confused: It's a shame they didn't 'preselect' some of their more loyal customers!

    Oh well, thanks for letting us know about this anyway - I was going into town anyway so at least I didn't make a special trip to it!

    ETA - ignore my moaning, just seen the first post' preselected at random'...I thought they had preselected people based on how much they shop there/use card!

  • I was not one of the 200,000 card winner of 1000 Boots points (re: geordie_lass 27/3/2009 post). However, at least I got a Free Boots Reuseable Bag. Just print off Free Bag Offer Coupon from the Boots Advantage ATM and present it at the checkout.

    I didnt win, but i did get the free bag :)
  • I too was not a winner. However, actually putting my card into the machine made me realise that I had £8 credit on my card, which was used up on stuff I went in for already. Woo!
