£5 Boots Voucher, called a "Skinnie"!! Time Delay, Olay etc

  • If I ever encounter an SA who won't try something, like a voucher against a product, I usually say "What am I like! I've forgotten my purse again, sorry" and then I wander round with my basket, and try another SA, having miraculously found my purse.

  • Hi everyone,
    I am new to Bootsing but spent my first snowy on a No7 hair Spitz thingy today and also used a 250 point voucher so am a happy bunny! :beer:
    Should I have been given a Skinny today as the Spritz was £5.75? (Although I only paid 75p in real money after my snowy).

    Also will I get a skinny if I buy £5 worth of stuff but pay with points instead of cash??

    Thanks in advance!!

  • hi mm, no other than the odd occasion when boots have made a mistake you have to spend £5 in cash to get the voucher, you don't get one when you redeem points

    As far as I'm aware you only get a voucher if you spend a ful £5 in cash. So if you were to use another voucher, you're not elegible for a second voucher..if you see what I mean?

    I always get a second voucher when I use a voucher to partly pay. This actually annoys me a bit cos it perpetuates my obsession.

    Hi
    You would have only been given a new voucher if your total spend was over £5 when the voucher had been taken off. Sadly no vouchers or extra points can be used if you pay with points :(

    I think the previous poster meant, that you have to have at least £5 still to pay, once you've used your voucher, to get another one. I know that didn't happen with one Olay Ole voucher last year, but usually that is the case.
