    The way I teach my children good manners is to be extra polite and helpful when they are at their most demanding, it shows them how one should behave and also annoys them immensely :D

    I'm a give them a kick up the $hiTTer kinda gal :p

    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 :)
    It's a profit indeed, but you can't use any vouchers when you pay with points unfortunately.

    No vitamin vouchers on the ACM today. I asked an SA why and apparently it's been pulled because it's become too popular thanks to a certain Martin Lewis :money:

    If you have already got your acm vouchers, they do still work though - I got some more multivitamins this afternoon.

    I only printed 1 voucher out yesterday and used it at my little local store, the SA did look at it very closely then put it through. Thanks OP, 200 more points for me. Went back to bigger store today to have a look at remanents of sale but no option to print another when machine so looks like Mr B has definitely cottoned on. I just wasnt brave enough to press that button more than once yesterday. Oh well live and learn! :)

    The moral of this Bootsing tale is - if you ever see a good acm voucher in the machine - print off all that you can, when you can. I have a separate pocket in my bag for all my Boots coupons ;).
