    I pressed the print button repeatedly as fast as i could before it disappeared, but only got 3. Still, I prob wouldn't get through more than 3 lots of vitamins before they went OOD
  • the ones that i got were dated 06/2011, me and hubby take on each a day so two pots only does a month or if its just you one pot would only do one month
  • Disappeared from the machine for me now, was going to get another couple today to boots points :(

    DH and I both got this coupon today. Managed to print about 10 out between us. Both bought three pots, so 4 more to spend before coupon expires. Brilliant spot, OP, many thanks.

    Think about it...
    Spend 99p and get 200pts back: double your money in points.
    Or if there is something you want you can get it for half price if you have enough vouchers. The fact that you have the vitamins too is just an added bonus. You'll probably use the vitamins before their SBD anyway.

    I just used 1 voucher today, to make sure it did work. I'll now print as many as I can next time I'm in. A nice easy way to double my money.

    What's the expiry date on the vouchers?
    And is there any way of changing which vouchers you get on the machine? I've never been offered a useful one, just photo ones and points when you spend a certain amount.

    I love it when I get the photo ones! Last time I used them, I can't remember the details but I bought two of the smallest clipframe things BOGOF and with my coupon they were free with a few points (50?) profit for me. Got the manager who, when the acm coupon didn't scan, told me it was because they were not frames. This was at the photo counter, a couple of yards from the stand, so I pointed out that there was a HUGE poster above the clipframe stand saying all frames were BOGOF. He looked at it, looked at me, and then said 'But we are paying you to take them away!' Not sure how I kept a straight face, but I smiled sweetly and he added the points manually. Was very tempted to tell him about mse... Did this three times that day but only once with the poor manager. At the other tills they didn't query it but just added the points.

    The voucher is valid until 16 February. The extra points offers/money off vouchers available from the kiosk is based on your purchasing history at Boots.

    Hope that helps.
    Hand over your advantage card when you pay for anything and everything your purchase in Boots - the more you use it, the better offers you'll get.

    I never forget to hand my card over and I have bought vitamins in the past. Thanks for the tips, I'll check tomorrow to see what they offer me.

    To anyone who doesn't think they want the vitamins - you could always give them to a family member or a friend who may be glad to receive them. :)
