    Do you just put all these items in one basket? Or do you have to do this one item at a time.
    i.e. Do I put in one Skincare product and a load of facial masks and the system gives me 200 points for EVERY item and I only have to pay once?
    Seems too good to be true!! :)
    You don't get medals for sitting in the trenches.
  • 200 points when you buy "Young Solutions" Skincare (offer excludes face mask)


    Yes but, the offer says it excludes the fask mask?
    So are you saying by first presenting the £3.95 item then the fask mask goes through the checkout as a valid 200 points (although it shouldn't really) ?

    ~~ confused~~
    I started off with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

    You can put it all in one basket, make sure you have one item that is valid against the voucher then lots of face masks. the voucher sould only be applied once to one valid item but due to a problem with their tills you will find you get 200 point for every item in your basket even if its excluded (like the face mask)..... how good is that:)

    Does not really matter but i got the face mask scanned in first then handed over the voucher and item the voucher was valid with last. keep them talking when they hand over the receipt, the normally tell you how many points you have at that point, distract them or they may have a shock:)

    Hope I explained it with the above....

    The voucher should only work with one valid item but their tills are not smart and apply the 200 points to each and every item in your basket in the range and they even apply the 200 points to invalid items like the face mask:)

    I only say buy one valid item to stop the assistant telling you the voucher cant be used against face masks

    and also the voucher was only on my card not hubbies but voucher still works to put points on his card where all the rest of them are
  • Thanks Tony.

    I'll be paying boots a visit in the morning. Let's hope I can keep a straight face while the stuff goes through the till, I don't think I could buy 25 face packs without a fit of giggles!

    (You'll have a straight face after following your new beauty routines) :o

    Me too, I got the two cards but always apply the vouchers to just one card.
