Unsuccessful in Boots today.
Tried for the oil of primrose 100 points deal, Sa put it thru and scanned the voucher but points not added. When I queried this she said points were not valid on shower gel,creme or hand wash.
no naked items under £2.99 in value, so could not use the naked voucher from the ac machine (will have to try a bigger store).
Also no voucher for extra points for over a £10 spend, I guess this may be because it was a triple points day.

I too didn't get a £5 voucher for spending £10 on a triple point day. I phoned CS and they added 500 points to my card.

So this isn't working any longer then, shame as just going to boots now

It didn't work for me!

Just came back from Boots: armed with a print-out of the pics I bought the wipes and the progressive face lotion and was charged for both! Was gutted at the till, they are going back tomorrow

There were no signs up in-store but assumed it will work anyway since it has for other posters...

as far as i am aware legally they do not HAVE to sell you any at the price on the shelf edge, something about that being an offer but it can be withdrawn before money exchanges hands.

I ordered a 28" widescreen TV 100hz etc, for under £40 off ebuyer.com. Ebuyer took the money from the credit card, and the next day sent an e-mail saying there was an error etc and would be refunded. I sought advice from a consumer organisation, and was surprised to hear them say that because they had taken cash, I could pursue the issue in court for loss of bargain/breach of contract or something. I didn't bother as I thought surely it's an obvious error.

I got the voucher on triple point day. Looks like it could be SA's making their own rules, they run out of vouchers, or the store manager isn't happy about giving vouchers and triple points? By the way I noticed on the double points voucher, it says you *can* use it with other offers, but all that happens is you get one addition of the original amount of points. I.e. buy £10 worth of stuff, get 40 points normally, triple points = 120 points + 40 points = 160 points (double the original value). I.E. quadruple points.

I don't know if this is the right place for this post, but I assume someone will move it if it should be elsewhere.
Several weeks ago I visited a large Boots store, used the AC machine and printed out numerous vouchers, for items which I thought I might possibly be interested in.
Later the same day as I was heading for the car park, I called into a smaller Boots store and picked up a couple of items I had forgotten earlier, and had a 'bonus' points vouchers from the AC machine. SA refused to take them ! :mad: Said although it was the correct item, and the correct date, it wasn't from their branch ( they didn't have an AC machine ). When I said I had used vouchers in 'other' branches before, she said that company policy now was that they could only be used in the Boots store where they were printed. The SA by the way had 'Branch Manager' on her badge!!
Having learnt quite a bit from this site, I e-mailed Boots and after some delay got a reply which was both an apology for the voucher being refused, and re-affirmed company policy that they can be used in any branch!!! :T
I have printed out the e-mail and keep it in my bag, just in case my AC vouchers are ever rejected again.

I tried this last week with the eye drops. The SA was dubious about it, asked a few other SA's if it would work, they said no, but she was kind enough to try anyway saying she could giv a refund if it did not add the points, and it worked. So just ask them to try. I don't think there is any store restrictions printed on the vouchers.

Ok good news for boots tarts near Hamilton town centre branch- Danielle ryman range is half price to clear ( on stands at tills ) so used my £5 off voucher went through no probs. Sa said it wouldnt but the till said yes - hee hee ! I got the roses face mask and eye gel. There is a lot. I think this probable wont be in all stores as I know hamilton withdrew the DR range in january- so obviousily have had it stuck through the back !
Bad news- as prob eveyone has gussed is soltan wipes glitch is fixedc BUT again hamilton have 3 self tan soltan moisturiser tube reduced at £1.75 so I think it should work on them- but had lost heart that the wipes never worked so sulked off !!!
On bottom shelf near tills .... boo hoo
