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

profit means making money. you dont GET £2, you get points that allow you to spend a free £2 IN BOOTS.

THIS IS NOT PROFIT.

its free stuff, yes. stuff for less than the price it costs normally.

but there is an initial outlay so finanically speaking, you are at a loss
UNLESS you sell the stuff you buy with the points

but anyway...

It depends how you look at it really. The way I see it is, Boots are giving me points which I spend in their store on things I NEED to buy every month, whether I want to or not. Baby wipes, shampoo, toothpaste etc. I'd rather use Boots points to buy this stuff than real money IYSWIM.

Me too, I got the points not the money

IT ISNT PROFIT
profit is the wrong word completely

all this "loophole" allows you to do is get vitamins+£2 worth of other stuff, for the price of the vitamins. which is a decent deal, but it isn't profit. its just saving.

i do like the idea of £10 topup (plus 5 fre vitamins) for £4.95, though.

but anyway...

whats this thing you're talking about different stores to use the vouchers? is it kinda like a "1 per customer" thing, and you have to keep going back to do it again and again? and they get a bit "funny" about it if they keep seeing you using vouchers?

what's the rules?

du have to pay seperately

like buy 1 vitamin -> give 1 voucher
then do it again buy 1 vitamin -> give 1 voucher

or can you buy 6 vitamins, give 6 vouchers
etc

how do you get unlimited vouchers? i want to know the quickest way to get unlimited vouchers.

also
once you get the points, how long do they stay on your card before they ex-pire?

also
how long is this voucher promotion on for

If you dont think this is a good deal why are you asking so many questions?

Try looking at it another way

My Boots card has 99 points on it.

I take a 99p pack of Vitamins and a get 200 points coupon to the checkout.

I "pay" for the Vitamins with the 99 points on my card.

The voucher goes through and they put 200 points back on my card

I now have FREE Vitamins and 101 points MORE than I started with - worth £1.01 to spend on anything I want to buy at Boots.

When I went in my card only had 99p (99 points) to spend in Boots, as I leave I now have £2 (200 points) on my card - tell me how that is NOT PROFIT ?

AND FREE VITAMINS

BETTER STILL (as I posted earlier) I bought the Vitamin C tablets for just 89p - so £1.11 profit for me

meinnit

It's not profit, its 200 points + vitamins for an outlay of 99p

You could say you profit in Boots points however ;p but you're basically buying 200 Boots points (+ Vitamins) for 99p

I thought you couldn't earn points if you paid with points?

Anyway, I agree with those who say that this IS profit... if you were going to buy stuff in Boots anyway. For example, I got 3,200 points for spending £15.84 on vits today. I then used most most of those points to buy 75% sale stuff... so I effectively got it all half price again, which if I am correct is 87.5% off the original price!!! :T:T:T:T Now THAT is what I call a good deal. And I got lots of vitamins to keep me and my family (and friends... and OH... and colleagues lol) healthy! :A

i would like to point out that i put the word profit in inverted commas for a reason- ie its not technically a profit in the sense that you hand over 99p and they give you £2 back in cash. however, boots sell every day items that the majority of (clean) people buy- i.e. soap and toothpaste so the £2 can be used on something that you'd buy anyway. please no more arguments, if you dont think its a good deal, no one is twisting your arm up your back to take advantage of it. just walk away.......
