    For anyone who still has the dove voucher left these are now £1 each in Boots so you can get 3 for 21p.

    Also in the acm is a voucher for half price UG Dazzling shine gloss pot wyb any other UG product, these are currently 2 for £7 so kinda works out at BOGOF by the time they both work together.

    3 for £10 on T&G works on the Tame it serum £7.99 each and the wax stick £8.99 each.

    Also at Fort in Edinburgh they have the front cover reborn sets reduced to £10 at the back along with some old No 7 GWP's. They still have all the new nail varnish but only a few of each left. And still about a dozen of the RM smudge brushes left.

    Oops, I was offered the £1 off but thought I would never use it as the TD is so often part of a £5 off voucher I would never buy the stuff at full price. Then I immediately went and picked up the wipes and forgot about the ACM offer. Doh :o


    Oohh I don't feel so bad now..... when I popped into the Fort late yesterday I was so pleased that
    a. DS had stopped the 10 minute tantrum
    b. The Opulance Eye Pallette, and two Mens P&P GWP went through 342, and SA accepted my voupon too

    That I walked away without my receipt or my till split :wall:

    These were the ones I got....and they certainly WERE old, one had a 250 points that expired Jan 2009 inside.

    Still they are Fab for the BIL's birthday next month, he loves the mini's coz he travels a lot.:)
    Not just a sucker for sweeties..:o

    Hi all,

    Was not sure where to post this but I wondered if anyone else had noticed that when using their Boots mailing extra points coupons that you then do not get your usual points for that item?

    Happened to me twice, first transaction was 100 extra points for my usual £15 phone topup, I didn't get the usual 60 points as well. I was going to go back into shop but noticed on my 2nd transaction for the 342 skincare that I didnt get usual points for the Hot Cloth Cleanser that I had an extra 100 points for I only got "normal points" for the rest of my spend if that makes sense. Has anyone else noticed this too?

    I always use my coupons and have never noticed this before or maybe because I seperated my phone top it stood out a bit more, not such good offers as would first seem!!!

    Still I can't complain bought Hot cloth cleanser and two of DDs face washes for £7.74 as used my last £5 voupon and the 342 kicked in.
    And I picked up some clearance hair accessories and used my points.
    Thanks OP :T

    Its not extra points you get when buying an item its just "100 points" when you buy. So you do not get the 100 plus the normal points. So in effect you arent making 100 points you only make the difference. I think the way they word it it sounds as if you are getting an amazing deal, when really you arent.

    Thanks karen, that explains it. I'm amazed I have never noticed before and have used these mailing coupons for few years now. Ah well I know Mr B doesn't make it easy to do our Bootsing calculations! But I reckon we would all do quite well if there was a degree in Bootsing especially with the online help called MSE!!! :rotfl:

    Yeah, i used my double points coupon twice yesterday, on both receipts it states the coupon has been used but on the points recieved bit its just the normal points i wouldve got anyway :think: will need to have a looksy at receipts again as i used a 100 points voucher for s&g too.

    oh and had a crap shop with my remaining voupons, wanted some of the new nail polishes, esp poolside blue, violetta and beautifully black but they had none of them :(

    Ah now I do know the answer to this one! I tried to use my january double points coupon twice on the day the 75% sale started. SA told me that it could only be used once in a day and gave it back to me on my second try to use again another day. I hope you got yours back lauraland. And you should have got double the "normal points" on your first transaction?;)

    ah, cheers for that. i did get extra points on my first transaction, i cant work it out: 88 points for £15 spend, normal points = 60, so have a random 28 extra points added on?

    I bought some skin care stuff online yesterday and my £5 off coupon code wouldnt be accepted. I rang customer care and he confirmed it wasnt working but said he would add 500 points to my card - cant see them on there though :(. Also its a gripe with me that those of us who dont have a big Boots with the card machine thingy and also very little stock in our local small Boots shop cant use all the points coupons online.
