    I spent £51 and got 2000 points! ;) See Claire's post about Elizabeth Arden deal. She's fantastic.

    Me too! Thanks Claire for head's up on Elizabeth Arden...ordered two things (1000 pts), Sanctuary Pamper Box & couple toiletries...1000pts for over £50 = 2000pts.

    Did I need any of it....no but have 2000pts ready towards S&G set:rotfl:

    Edit: Already have 996 points so if S&G set comes to less than £29 will that give me enough to buy outright with points? i.e. 2996pts (will be buying more stuff so probably have more points but do I NEED to buy more is what I'm asking.
    If only I could stop finding good bargains on this site, I would save a fortune! :rotfl:

    No. but if your partner has a card you could use it on his account.

  • lucky you! how did u managed to do it? can u post the link to claire's...


    does someone know if they accept the double points voucher online or instore?

    I got 3 x £10 items (on 3 for 2) that I wanted as Xmas gifts (totalled £20), then I got the Arden cream for £12.50, plus the heavily reduced perfume (down from £45-ish to £15-ish) and some other bits, to take me over £50.

    I qualified for 1000 points, as it was over £50, plus another 1000 points, on the Arden deal.

    I wanted the 3 for 2 gifts anyway, and the Arden items will make very nice gifts for 2 friends, who are Arden fans.

    And I get £20 in points to spend next year in the sales! Claire is a brilliant star. Not only has she found, and shared, these super bargains, but she's calculating the glitches faster than Carole Voorderman!

    Blimey, £190 on shoes - you must be a Rich Gal! Alas, I am an impoverished pensioner, and my bunioned feet are encased in Sensible Shoes (when I was young, I swore I'd never wear such things, but there you go!)

    If you spent over £250, you'd get 1000 points for each £50, so that's 5000 points, then 2000 points for your Arden purchases, but you don't appear to have your extra 1000 points for your "over £100 spend", for which you undoubtedly qualified. :(

    But don't beat yourself up over it. It's very hard to get your head round some of these combinations, and you win some, you lose some. It's the same with vouchers from the ACM machine. Sometimes I've wept bitterly when people have mentioned the vouchers they've received, other times I've had some super vouchers that others haven't.

    But I do wish they'd stop sending me in my Boots Mailing boring things like 100 points off Multivitamin tablets, or pile cream, or things like that! Hope this helps and good luck with all your future Bootsing.

    PS - see my "Ode" on the Arden thread!

  • Just to clarify if not already posted, all vouchers with barcode starting 208 will not be accepted during 'Storewide Points Events' in the West Midlands at least!

    HTH
  • sneakily handed over my ''double points'' coupon along with my £100 shop today and it said ''dbl pts coupon accepted'' but the points only showed as 2400.. does anyone know if i'll actually get double points on 2400 later (?) or has it just accepted the coupon and then automatically discounted it because of the shopping event? TIA xx
