    thats not your call to make though, look at it on the flip side, if the OP of this thread had decided just to pm all their mates on the site about the offer rather than telling us ALL here you would never have known. Martin tries to make this website moneysaving for all, some people post endless good offers whilst others may only pop in once in a blue moon. Without either party this site wouldnt continue.

    Well from past experience when an offer hits the newsletter it sells out almost instantly. My point is that the email goes out to 3m+ people and even if 30% decide to take up the offer I doubt Boots will have 900,000 of these items in stock so a lot of disappointed people which is why I suggest that stock limited offers should be left for regulars.

    Your SA was definitely wrong - it says it can be used in conjunction with 342, not that it has to be.

    Maybe I've misunderstood these posts - are we still talking about the vitamins with 200 points? I've been in half a dozen stores since the weekend, and there doesn't appear to be any stock shortage of the 99p vitamins - and not everyone is getting the 200 points coupon from the ACM anyway.

    Yes it is the vitamins with 200 points.

    That's because it only hit the newsletter last night! Check again tomorrow :)

    You can get three and only pay for one AND get the points.
    Pick up two of the 99p packs and one of the free when you buy any vitamins, one is free with any purchase and one is free because of the 2 for 3. You could probably add another pack of the free when buying any vitamins too - haven't tried that
    but can't see why it would not work. :D

    This certainly works

    I pressed print as quickly as I could - until I got bored (and slightly embarrassed lol) and managed to get 16 to print out!!:j
    Hoping 2015 will be a better year :)
