    Can anyone help? I want to buy a baby monitor from boots for £19.99 and use £15 worth of points and pay the remainder on my card.. Are you allowed to do that?

    I'm sure I read once you can/can't pay partly with points.
    Sorry you have to pay the full amount with points.

    I went into Boots on Market St in Manchester today and took full advantage of the Botanics weekends packs.

    The machine let me print out 5 of the slips, so bought 10 botanics soaps at 99p each and I got 5 weekend packs..

    so £9.90 for £39.90 worth of stuff

    :D

    I might try that tomorrow with the soap after the aftershave gel failed...Thanks!
  • My first post in the boots thread. I searched and I don't think anyone else has posted it. There is 500 extra points available on any two Benefit cosmetics items. They sell some makeup pencil sharpeners that are £3.50 each and they scan OK for the 500 points. I suppose it is only worth it if you want at least one of the pencil sharpeners but helpfull to someone I hope.
    hi moss_trevor good spot welcome to the thread:o

    From Boots.com:
    "The more points you collect the bigger your treat, you'll need the full amount in points for the product you choose. The total price in points will simply be taken from your Advantage Card points total."

    Or take a look here:
    "You need to pay the full amount in points. This total price in points will simply be taken from your Advantage Card Points total."

    What a downer! :(

    I tried that the other week and they wouldn't let me have the deal, even though I pointed out the voucher says nothing about excluding the bath stuff. :(

    The machine print out now states a £5 spend needed on Face and Body Botanics to claim a weekend pack. I don't know how buying two 99p soaps worked for you.
    I bought £6 worth of mens Botanics yesterday and got the Weekend pack that way (also used the 100pts coupon).
  • If you spend more than £15 on Boots No7 products, they will give you a cosmetic bag containing £32 worth of cosmetics including lipstick, mascara and nail colour.
    You also get a £5 voucher off of skincare products.

    Thats already been posted, several times.

    I've just checked my points balance, and the £6 I recieved from complaining about the false advirtisement of the Botanics deal have actually gone on, was surprised!

    The Geisha boxes - are they £1 or £2 can someone confirm? Boths have been said, and I wanted to know before travelling especially for a few instead of a lunchbreak tomorrow.
