Boots loophole! Spend 99p on vitamins, get £2 back

catkitty

can you please define a "regular"
I get the newsletter (and have done so for as long as i can remember) and have taken advantage of some of the offers. I have only just joined the forum site but use the website regularly - does this define me as a regular????
However I shop at boots all the time and use my yearly saved points to buy my Xmas presents - does this not make me a "Boots regular"???
I would just like to clarify this as I think the offers should be available to all that get the news letter and not just those who are cherry picked because they may have posted the most.

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.

It isn't really profit, is it. You're spending cash and getting Boots vouchers. Its only profit if you would've spend in Boots anyway.

I got 28 vouchers and used the points for the 75% sale :beer:

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.

Can you explaing this i.e. the bit about only paying for one out of three packs? TIA.

managed this twice today in Sheffield Boots. There were only 2 packs of the 99p vitamins left so after I had been up in to the 75% sale, came back downstairs, picked one up and with 3 17 things (with 100 point coupon when you spend £5 and on 3 for 2), went to one till and paid, SA read the coupon and put it through and said, wow thats a good deal isn't it? Then went back to the shelf of vitamins, picked up the 2nd pack (which I had hid in among the others for good measure!! ) with a bottle of water and went to another till and went through fine. After my exploits in the sale, and these 2 transactions, made just over £7 on my advantage card!!! Well pleased!! Thanks OP!! :T

The basic vitamin c tablets i picked up cost 99p but for me (leeds centre) they scanned at just over £2, so check your receipts and make sure you didnt get overcharged!

This happened to my DD today, she was charged 2.25 for them.

It worked in her favour though because she got 1 for free when she went to customer services for a refund:D

Great find OP, I rarely check the machine but I think I'll be making it my first stop in the shop in future
