    Hi I worked in boots last year it was 1200 points (£12 points) for every £50 spent therefore you spend £100 get 2400 points (£24 points)

    thanks

    i got mine through the post - no email as such yet. coupons are: £3.50 worth of points for £40 spend ; double points (2 uses); £4.50 worth of points for a £50 spend; 200 points when buying max factor xperience boutiqu foundation or mascara; £3 off any sanctuary spa facial skincare product, 1000 points for £100 spend - online only; and Save £5 when spending £30 or more in single transaction on electrical beauty products. Not sure how many i'll use though, as you usually can't use them in conjuction with the promotions for event evenings and unlikely to spend that amount of money outwith the event evenings, Definitely use the double points one for sure. we'll need to see about the rest - depends if we get a good OOTW.. hee hee


    I thought in the past people did successfully use those extra points vouchers on event evenings? It probably says on them that you can't, but half the time boots coupons DO work on items or in instances they technically aren't supposed to. Does anyone know if they typically work?
  • OOTW should start either friday or a week friday. I have asked this thread be merged with the other xmas event one to keep all the dates in one place.

    They usually do work if your sa will put them through. Also remember if you can get to the acm before the 3pm start you should get a total spend voucher. They sometimes block the machines off before the event so the earlier you nip in and print them the better.
  • Can anyone find a link to a list of where all the Boots nights are listed? I'm sure there was one last year.

    Is there an online event? If so, any idea what and when it'll be?

    The online list is not live yet but probably will be during the week. Im sure the link will be posted when it is. The dates will be 27/28 Oct, 10/11 Nov, 24/25 Nov. I think the online bonus points will be the same time as the instore events.

    So they have stopped the mail-out vouchers from being used at the evening events?! Thats no good! I used to always use my vouchers for these evenings, its rare I remember to pull them out of my purse at any other time!

    Would be great if anyone could confirm if this year they have been able to use the vouchers as there are two evenings to attempt!

    They start on a Thursday, the first one being this coming thursday.

    What do you mean by mailing?

    I get some points vouchers through the post but never seem to get any of this information with it.

    Is it the same as in store, spend £50 and get 1200 points?

    ... And is it likely that I'll get the things I want online (delivered to store) as everyone will be rushing to do it, or is it better for me to trek to one of the stores that has the evening event on even though they might not have what I want?

    Sorry for all the questions, I got a couple of OOTW last year but didn't want anything of value so didn't take notice of the events. This year I want £40 of stuff so could bump it up to £50 and effectively get some of it free in Boots logic.
