  • Ive never posted in this board before, but I'm so amazed by this deal I'm still not sure if it was an error at the till!

    I went into Boots in my lunch hour, checked the advantage machine as i always do, and printed off the BOGOF lists.

    I noticed Botanics on the list and remembered a series of other offers available when i went through the options. At the till i handed over two cans of Botanics Soothing Shave Foam, £2.75, received one free, had a bonus of 100 points (£1) added onto my advantage card AND received a Botanics Weekend Pamper Pack, perfect for my mum or sister!

    Hope this is still available for everyone else :T
    Debt at Highest, £18,000.00 :eek:

    As of October 2010, Debt Free!!! :j:T

  • OOh also, I had to get other stuff like nappies etc, so got one of the £20 giftcards to get a free beauty treatment, then went to another till and used it, so spent money I was going to anyway, got a free beauty treatment voucher. Must remember to send off for it!

    Happy shopping!

    i bought a £20 giftcard today but didn't get a voucher for a free beauty treatment. I asked the sa and she didn't have a clue what i was on about. Just wondering where you saw this advertised as i might phone up cs. thanks in advance[/QUOTE]


    I saw them in my local Boots just in with the other giftcards at the tills, but had to ask for it when I bought it in another store. It's on a card which you fill in and send off with the receipt and you get a voucher back for a free beauty treatment. Not sure where it can be redeemed, but I'll let you know when I get mine back. The giftcard says something like "giftcard plus treatment." It's a minimum of £20 to be loaded onto the card, but if you're going to spend that anyway, you might as well get the free treatment. There were a few choices including, manicure, pedicure, aromatherapy massage, indian head massage. As far as I know they should be available in all stores.

    Shave gel is not considered a facial item. Two other colleagues agreed with her that a facial item should be something applied to and left on the face?????
    What a load of rubbish!

    Facial wash and soap are both applied to the face but neither are left on the face! :D

    Re: skincare vouchers for a top-up, I got one the other day. Moreover, I paid with a £10 voucher from Pigsback, so that was a triple freebie: free top-up, free points and a free skincare voucher :j

    Sorry bobsa1!

    I meant that that was what the SA was longing to say when I asked her if she could explain the random differences in Ruby & Millie offers. I also had a voucher for R&M products that she wouldn't accept, and as our store has no R&M counter, only odd bits when they're reduced, I couldn't find anyone willing to help me.

    Just been into boots and following advice from this site i have registered for a card and looked on their machine for special offers. They are offering 100 points when you buy "Soltan Self Tan No-Streaks Wipe 7.5ml". They are on half price offer (well in my local store anyway) for 67p so i make that a 33p profit plus a free wipe for my wife.
    I got this voucher today, too, and grabbed the last wipe on the shelf (well, when I say on the shelf it was actually on the floor :o :eek:).

    Was also going to do the Botanics glitch, but then chickened out as could only find the Weekend kit, and as the voucher said something else, I didn't feel like arguing with the SAs. :o

    I bought 2 botanics products today to get the free weekend pamper kit...The sales assistant would not let me have the free kit as she said they had to be womens botanics and not mens..Nowhere on the coupon does it say 2women only"..I argued the case but she wasn't having any of it..Now I have a wasted voucher as it is dated.I will complain to head office as it doesn't state that you can't use it on mens products...Shall I complain??
  • Definately complain Pudding. As you say - it's not a woman only coupon.

    I got it yesterday, buying 2 mens shave gels. It all depends on how helpful the SA is. I had a pleasant young SA which helped. My local store has evil SA's and a security guard who plays Tom and Jerry with me as soon as I go in so I wasn't attempting it in there.:rolleyes:

    It was a very young SA so I thought I would try...She said her manager had already told her not to accept mens botanics...They must of been told about it already in Doncaster...I will complain though..Thanks!
