  • Sorry to be a pest....just need someone to clarify as I have read SO many threads and added and changed my basket SO many times!

    If I spend £100 today, I will get 2 x 1000pts automatically (i.e. £50 spend = 1000pts) and if I use the code (if I can find it!) for 1000pts for a £100 spend on top of that, I will get a total of 3000?

    Wanting to press that button to buy but just want to be sure.
    If only I could stop finding good bargains on this site, I would save a fortune! :rotfl:

    Yes you will. Add it all to your basket and enter the code and you will see the total amount of points you have got before you commit to buy anyway.

    I know this is a really basic question so apologies in advance.

    in the 3 for 2 offer is it the cheapest item you get free. I will be ordering online and want to get the best value for money I can.

    Thanks xx

    Boots give you every third item free, so if you were buying more than one set of 3 for 2 offers you would get every third item in descending price free. SO if you bought 3 items at £10 each and 3 at £5 each you would get one £10 and one £5 item free rather than just two of the £5 ones.

    Thanks to both who answered my query...mega points here we come.. Had better go press that button then and buy before anything is out of stock.
    Think I will now have (hopefully) just over 6000 points to spend

    Edit: Yeah, 6007 pts...OOTW's here we come, S&G here we come ! (Just hope there isnt a problem as I included a bottle of Neurofen to make up amount and, as routine hopefully, order reviewing with pharmacist...just hope they dont cancel it when it is too late to do anything! (cup half full an all that!)

  • Has anyone else managed to top up their in-store spend to £50 with phone credit?
  • Boots give you every third item free, so if you were buying more than one set of 3 for 2 offers you would get every third item in descending price free. SO if you bought 3 items at £10 each and 3 at £5 each you would get one £10 and one £5 item free rather than just two of the £5 ones.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    edited 27 October 2010 at 10:41AM
    I spent £80.49 on Boots.com as one of my items could only be purchased online. I earned 1120pts and saved £31.98 on items bought on offer. I have spent ages working out wether or not to separate orders on finding my double vouchers, which cannot be redeemed online, but I would have only been gaining £1 in points if I bought the 2nd item, which was £30 in store.

    I am now going to sit in a darkened room! LOL!!!
  • urgh
    just tried buying 3 Soap and Glory items that are part of the 3 for 2 offer but the basket doesn't deduct the cheapest item and is charging me for all 3!
  • Hi all.

    Can someone please help me. I'm new to the whole advantage card thing. Before I spend a ridiculous amount of money on Boots products, I just wanted to find out if I will be able to use my advantage card points on 3 for 2 items in store?

    In other words will I be able to pay for items on the 3 for 2 offer with my points?

    Thanks in advance. :D
