    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?

    I'm not sure how it'd work out on the current promotional points, but I have in the past had points removed when I've returned something. I think Boots are pretty clued up about this. You might be lucky if you returned items to a photo or pharmacy counter till rather than a main checkout - may escape notice.

    the tills prompt for the advantage card though, and when checking the receipt they will see you used your card and it will deduct the points. It will take away the promotional points though as you only got them for spending £50, otherwise everyone would spend £50 and get the extra points then return things but get to keep the points. Only way around it would be to exchange rather than refund
  • The site is still not back up and running. Seems they may have decided to stem the flow of traffic to the site. When does the offer end, midnight? Maybe i'll check back then and everything will be working like magic.....
  • MillaJoJo - The offer is on all day tomorrow - I was speaking to a customer service person earlier and she assured me it was on for two days.

    I bet they will even extend the offer to friday to make up for all the money they would have lost out on!
  • well my order for next day delivery hasn't even been sent, seems they can't keep up. And all that promotion about not being affected by the strikes, they still can't honour my delivery fee using any method !

    Quick query, tried a £5 off £50 code but as total now £45.52 dropped the points down to 180 basic so used a points code instead but only given me the 1700 points and none on the order value, shd i email them and query as normally do

    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...........


    sinw - just out of interest did you actually get the 200 x 21 points per item in addition to the extra £17 points for spending over £50 + the code?

    I thought that it was only adding the £12 points >£50 (i.e. not adding your normal points on that you would have gained)
