    For points lovers try this one......

    21 x Karvol Decongestant Drops 12ml = £52.29p
    200 points per item = £42.00p points
    £12 points >£50
    £5 points with code

    = £59 points and top cash back 3.5%

    flog this for £1 bottle = £21 back...........
    SIMPLES!

    I was specifically after that as a stocking filler plus I have a 40p off coupon...

    By the time I've made up my basket to £50, I'll only be saving £3.50(provided I can make up the exact amount & not spend over!) anyway plus will lose out on the bodyform voucher...

    The40p coupon wouldnt of worked online if you used the £5 off aswell
  • thanks for the tip off guys, managed to get 3 Benefit items I had been lusting after, used the £5 off code and got 1200 and 750 bonus points !!! very happy bunny :o)

    :D My goodness - would people really go to all the trouble of selling 21 bottles of decongestant on ebay for £21 cash profit?

    I know you are getting £59 worth of Boots points and all but you still have to outlay the £52.29 cash in the first place and what if you get stuck with lots of the decongestant?! :eek:

    Perhaps I just don't get this hardcore Boots points thing! :D

    Re-reading this thread over & over, I'm getting confuddled!:rolleyes:

    So, if I manage to spend over £50 online, can I get £5 off plus 500 points plus 1200 as well?!:confused:

    I'm new to the boosting lark! Only had my card a few days!:o

    Missingink ... No, you can have either the £5 off OR the 500 extra points. Because I split mine into two orders, I used the £5 code on one and the 500 points code on the other as the site wouldn't let me use the £5 code twice!
