Boots glitch at last!

The boots ACM machine has been really disappointing recently - I've only had two vouchers and the 1000 point raffle thingy has been out of order.

I had a few things to get anyway so I printed out the 150 points when you spend £25 voucher. Went to the tills and my spend came to more than this. Handed over the voucher and ...

magic below
The voucher scanned as Incentive Bond and took £20 of my bill.
Could hardly contain myself but pretended I hadn't noticed. Neither did the cashier thankfully and I skipped out of the shop at top speed! Hopefully it works for some of you. I haven't the nerve to try it again.



Good luck!

    gonna try that tomorrow!!! thanks OP :T
  • I'm going to try tomorrow too.

    Though, what about if you picked up £20 of stuff off the shelves, do boots have any self service tills? I wonder if it would act like a gift card and you'd get it all free!?!? somebody HAS to try that :D

    The point was that it might take boots a bit longer to catch on!:rotfl:

    No offence meant but it may be useful if the people who quoted and highlighted the glitch deleted or edited their posts.

    I think it was posted this way for a reason.
