    I chose the points as its basically £5 anyway! So I am still gaining the £5 off in a round about way!

    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...........

    Out of stock now - someone must have decongested hardcore! :eek:

    MissingPink ... 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!

    MisssingPink?!? I assume you mean me?!:D

    Ahhhhh, I see! Suspected as much!:rolleyes: Thank you for clearing that up!:D

    Now.....I know that if you buy online the points get added when you put your card in the ACM(5 days after delivery)but can you put a temporary card(cardboard)in the machine?

    Also it won't let me register my card with my account but says I can enter the temporary number at the checkout to receive my points-true?

    Yeas you can register a temporary card at checkout to collect the points on, but you'll have to wait for a card to be sent out you before you can go instore and collect the points. The ACM doesn't take the temporary paper cards, only the proper ones. It can take a few weeks for a new card to come though - would you not be better contacting CS and seeing why it won't register your existing card online?

    THis is my first post to excuse me if I am asking something that is common knowledge to all on here. I have just ordered CHristmas toys which came to the value of £55 so I got my extra points. If I return some of the items at a later date (not planning to as I am hoping they are all OK) do I then get the extra points deducted from my advantage card?
  • Grrrr - is it just me or is the Boots website REALLY REALLY slow. So annoying - browsing is a no go.
  • There is none of the toys i want in stock! Annoying!

    £2 Savers club member no 40 ~ £54
    Amazon Vouchers BingoPort ~ £10
    Dooyoo Challenge Jan ~ £24.07 / £20.00 Yippee over target :j

    :D I think the Bonjela was on the 200 points offer too if still in stock - though half the price of the Karvol meaning you'd have to buy double the amount to get the same points value - now that is a serious amount to shift on ebay

    Crikey, I too admire your dedication! I don't think i've got it in me!:o

    Me neither, I would rather spend the £50 on something I wanted to get the 1700 points and save myself the hassle time and aggravation of having to sell the stuff but I marvel at those that are up for it :)
