Hi

Boots are giving us a chance to get the same points online as instore on Christmas shopping evenings. With free delivery it beats trying to find 3 for 2's in store and there is 3.25% with topcashback.

Valid today and tomorrow only.

    Brilliant! Many thanks!

    I've got a bit of a dilemma at the moment though. Do I place my order now while everything I want is in stock or do I hold on a bit until some clever people work out how to get even more points!!

    Yeah, i've done my christmas shop, spent over £55 and used a £5 off code (see discount codes page) when you spend over £50, so total was £51 and got the 1200+ points.

    And this was shopping for my brother so it's not cost me a penny to get the points, woo hoo ! :D

    Im not convinced the points are working correct.

    My bonus points are only showing in my basket as 1500 with the 500pt code and then total points showing 1996 so does that not mean im getting 1000 christmas points plus 500 code pts plus 196 normal pts.

    ooooh I've found something good! You can combine with the 750 points on selected Benefit items, AND if you have a voucher from the machine for 500 points on £50 spend... I spent £54 and got a massive 2466 points :)

    I think in theory you are only getting 1000 bonus points, as you'd normally get 200 on a £50 pound spend - that's the way mine worked out anyway.

    Can you spend £50 on anything or does it have to be specific things?
