    I have got great vouchers from the ACM and I took my SD too and she got great offers. And she doesn't spend much money in boots.

    If you don't want to get your prescriptions from boots you can just hand over the voucher with your other shopping and it should work fine.
    I bought a box of paracetamol and the points went on fine, no forms, no questions. ;)

    has anyone else done this wothout any questions from the SA?
    thanx:o
    (SA's at my local luuurrrrve to read the t&c's or any other way to stop me boosting my points!)
  • Checked the ACM today, just in case the Highlights Voucher was there for me. But it wasn't.

    I had hoped to be able to combine it with the 1/2 price Line Lift and get the No7 Gwp for £6.50. Nevermind. I can wait a while longer.
    Is it just me or is Boots a bit boring at the moment.
    I use to read this bit of Grabbit all the time and I am sure that there were more bargains to be had.

    Does anyone know whether I will be able to get a refund onto a gift card for some L'Oreal eyeshadow that I bought? It is unopened and unused but I can't prove it beyond doubt as I don't think it is sealed in any way. I also no longer have the receipt.

    I bought it recently as a perk me up purchase because it was lovely and sparkly (don't ask, I know it's mad :embarasse) but I just don't need it and it's making me feel guilty. :undecided

    Thanks all.
    Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.... :/

    My SA looked puzzled as he read it and I just said I was told it just scanned. So he tried and it did.

    The highlights voucher, this time round, is only free when you buy a No7 cosmetic. I'm pretty sure the line lift is skincare, not cosmetics, so this combination wouldn't work (unless you got an SA to manually override it).

    I agree with the boring Boots comment too - in my local stores, there are still loads of mega-reduced SELs for nailcare, accessories, and mens products, but hardly any products on the shelves (and the KOS is all back up to full price grrrr).

    i dont think they accept returns/refunds on cosmetics for hygiene reasons. dont quote me on that though as im not 100% sure, maybe someone else can confirm for make up. i got a refund recently on clinique lotion as it was the wrong stuff

    If you don't have a receipt they won't refund at all I'm afraid, even onto a giftcard - they do exchange things (I've done this several times with sealed toiletries and things I've had a reaction to and they've been lovely) but as kerrydrobertson said I don't think they even do exchanges on cosmetics. There's no harm in asking though!

    Wow that's brilliant! highlights, nail varnish and GWP for £6.10 how did you do it?

    Hi, I got a free highlights voucher (£10) and bought 2 nail varnishes at £6.10 each but MIL gave me the money for her nail varnish and wouldn't let me pay for it. It appears that even giving a free high lighter voucher still entitles you to a GWP if your original total was over £20.

    It was in real terms £12.20 for 2 nail varnishes, highlighter and GWP, but as it was a shared pruchase it made it a little bit more bargainous! I offered both the highlights powder and the GWP to MIL but she refused either of them. She's great!
