Should I go to the instore ATM on a weekly basis for offers? I didn't know I could get any offers this way. It was only because of someone on a review site beginning with D that I found it. I'm always using this site for other things. I bet there's loads I'm missing out on!

I maybe posting in the wrong place, so I apologise now if so. I used to get post from Boots with money off vouchers and/or freebie vouchers. I've had nothing for that many months I can't remember. I don't use my card often but I use it and therefore it is still in use. Anyone got any ideas? Should I just contact Boots?
Thanks

The offers available on the acm are updated 4 weekly however it offers people different offers at different times during those 4 weeks so u should check it as often as you can.

With regards to mailings i think there is a way to check if you have opted in via your boots account online or ring cs and they should be able to help.

after all the trying to work out the possible 'what if' possibles I managed to get all 3 from the offer !! (thanks for the help )

Got

peel
line lift
highlights
Cough mixture £2.93
shaving gel £1.36
crisps x2 £1.34
cotton buds £.59
Tweezers (used pooey) £.93

Total to pay £5.95 total saving £43.50 (i cant figure out the totals on my receipt for the magic 3 so didnt add them above??)

Used SS till for first time and SA came over when i used 3rd voucher and tried to grab it off me (didnt say anything, just tried to snatch) I said im ok its just sending me back to the payment screen after every voucher rather than accepting more. She ummmed and walked off !! I heard her say something to another SA so gave them my best brilliant smile on my way out. Would have used my extra point coupon for spending over £20 + over £30 but thought that a little too much !

Hope you've all had a good Easter. I must say we've had some fab weather up here in the north-west - I think its time to get my legs out and start wearing dresses and sandals again. Will have to get the OOTW St Tropez out before I dare show them in public though.

Finally managed to get the magic 3 vouchers today as ACM was only giving me peel and line lift. DD1 is home from Uni so I borrowed her card and managed to get 1 humiliating powder voucher :T (I tried 'All offers' as well but wouldn't let me print any more) but even better for her she won 1000 points from ACM :j:j:j. Armed with all 3 products and Venus razors I went to till and said to lovely SA 'I hope all these vouchers go through' and she tried them BUT read them and said the powder is free on 342 anyway so go and get something else from No7. I didn't want to brazen it out so got P&P handcream (Why, I should just have got cheapest item), anyway all the vouchers went through so I ended up in real terms paying £8.80 for the handcream. All in all I am quite happy with what I got though if I hadn't panicked I would have got Spring pallette fot £5.xx instead of handcream.

Not much on clearance at Rochdale, Amazon Brazil Nut and Vanilla body scrub for £1.84 and loads of No17 foundations reduced to £1.xx and free nail varnish worked with these. NC washbag set for £2.50 but not much else.

Many, many thanks to the OP about the Magic 3 and for the order in which to use the vouchers :A

We were away for Easter, visiting in-laws. 100 miles away from home I felt brave enough to attempt the Magic 3! All three products were in stock-hurrah!

After one false attempt, all three products went through, with voucher, and I also had a 250 points coupon which also went through. To make the cost up, I also picked up some Veet for DD and some Boots deodorant that was reduced to 60p (this one, in coral http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10052&productId=32243&callingViewName=&langId=-1&catalogId=11051 )


Made a huge saving, and about £4 to pay! Oh yes, and 306 points.

Thanks again to BBB for posting originally, and all who have worked out what to do.

Hi
Can anyone please let me know what the best combination deal is as I have the peel and line lift voucher? I was hoping to get a No7 moisturiser for £16 but not sure if would be better getting something else from no 7 range if I wanted to use the above two vouchers....cheap as possible please.
I don't really want the line lift, but can't resist a bargain....thanks a lot

To make the most of the 342 with your acm vouchers, you get the peel, the line lift, and something thats cheaper than both of those (this will be the free one on the 342). So choose something No7 thats less than £12.70 (the cost of the line lift).

When you use your vouchers, use the line lift one before the peel one, and you should be left with £8.80 to pay (half price peel cost) only.

I hope I'm following the correct protocol here....
Does anyone have a highlight powder they would like to swop for a 1/2 price glycolic peel one - if so could they send me a private message please.
Many thanks

This was my mistake a couple of weeks ago when I just had the 2 vouchers - I used them in the wrong order (peel first then line lift) and was faced with £21.50 to pay as it didn't accept the line lift voucher as I hadn't met the £15 spend at that stage. I mumbled 'I'll leave it then' and made a quick exit and have only managed to brave it to Mr B's again today. I still have 1 line lift and 1 peel voucher left so am hoping DD1's AC will come up trumps again for the powder voucher. May have to try SS till in Manchester Arndale though.

Hiya passion8
No the ioniser doesn't have any filters to change. I think some more expensive ones have filters and suck the air in but this one doesn't, it just produces the ions. You will get dirt accumulating on the box itself and in the surrounding area, presumably this happens more quickly when used in a smoky room.

I don't think I would like a box with filters in a bedroom as it would have a certain amount of noise when operating, this box is silent.
Even the sound of a softly ticking clock has been known to keep me awake and going slowly mad :rotfl:
