  • Aah good to see everyone getting the free weekend pamper pack, I have also come back from shoppping at Boots and bagged this bargain!...The voucher doesn't scan here either, but the SA went to check at CS and then came back to delete the item from my receipt, nice chap! I didn't get the 100 points for the botanics mens but still a great bargain.....thanks OP...

    Today I bought 2 x Ruby and Millie make up items reduced to 50p each, 2 x fcuk make up reduced to 50p x 2 and 2 x botanics reduced to 50p. Does anyone know why I got an extra 500points?

    I thought it was the Ruby and Millie but I bought 2 more and didn't get any extra points. Any ideas?

    That's weird that the coupon doesn't even scan with the face creams.

    I had a delay at the till whilst the young SA went to check with a supervisor. She came back and said it should have worked and put it thru as no charge.

    It was the Facial Pamper Box worth £6 I picked up. I noticed other pamper packs on the shelf too. But I'm sure the coupon stated it was only for the facial one. Will made a nice gift to someone. Thanks whoever spotted this one.;)

    There are two coupons that are being offered, one is for the Weekned Pamper Box, and the other is the Facial Pamper Box. I only tried the offer with the Weekend box.

    Maybe you received extra 500 points because you "spent" a selected amount, and the till counted the amount before reductions? :confused:

    Some Ruby and Millie items were on 'buy two and get 500 points; some were on 'buy one get one free' and some were on 'please stop bothering us'.

    Hi

    I was just wondering if anyone had just done a £10 phone top-up (without any other purchases) and got a £5 skincare voucher back. I am sure I have done this in the past but this time, even though the voucher code was shown on my receipt, the young sa informed phone top-ups don't qualify for the vouchers.

    Kind regards


    I think you will find that it states on the shelf labels that mobile phone tops ups don't count the same as prescriptions and baby milk and stamps.

    If you get a voucher with a top up you are lucky. You could ring Boots and ask them but do have a feeling that the SA was correct.

    I must admit I went in to boots and spent £15 on No7 to get the freebies. I did need the makeup as I am coming to the end of it in the next few weeks. They also have for £5 each the geshia and lilac bags.

    I also got a £5 skin care voucher so that I got a face scrub for free :j

    And the SA was great as I had a 50 points voucher for a spend of £7.50 + and she checked to make sure they want on the card properly.

    So had a good day as well as saving 10% in superdrug as well.


    Yours

    Thanks Wendym not sure what 3rd bit of post means but thanks for your help
  • Aha - there are more than one type Pamper Boxes being offered. What is in the Weekend box? I managed to get the 100pts coupon too. Glad I studied this forum.:D

    Re:top-up cards for £10 spend. I have a Tesco Mobile card which is supposed to be accepted anywhere there is an e-top up sign. For some reason it can't be used at Boots so I won't be able to bag a £5 coupon.

    You now do not need a top up card at boots. You simply purchase a top up voucher....comes out like a receipt and you just key into phone.....dont know if they provide Tesco ones though!
