    i'm quite glad I missed this, as my head hurts doing the maths lol!

    I've got a Bootsing math question please (I'm so out of the loop these days now theres no Boots thread) - I've seen a camera I like online. On Weds theres another 1000 points per £50 spend, yes? So if I buy the camera at £80, then top up to £100 with 342s for christmas pressies, how many points should I get? last year there was also an extra 500 points online code for spending over £50 - is there such a thing floating around at the moment?

    thanks, balletshoes with a headache ;).

    Hi you are getting 1200pts on wed/thursday, this is made up of 1000 bonus point and 200 normal so if you were to make it up to £100 you would get 2400pts but there is also a code on the codes thread for 1000pts on £100 spend so you could get a total of 3400pts.

    EDITED - #460 1000pts on £100 spend

    thanks cpg - you are a star :T.
  • You could check online under advantage card and it will show you how many points you have pending, if its not up yet check again tomorrow.

    Iirc they can only put a maximum amount but you will still get the full points and yes if something is oos you do still get to keep the points.

    HTH

    Thanks for that, just checked my pending points and not on as yet, will check tomorrow - have a bad feeling about this one :(
  • Just received mine and points are what I thought they were :j - will check on line though - thanks again OP :beer:

    Just had my juicy tubes - 8 different ones for xmas presents - my advantage total on top of statement is 448 standard points, 1060 bonus points, help someone, surely this is not correct as I from my confirmation was 11048? do i just check instore on machine in a few days time? perhaps they not honouring the glitch?

    exactly the same has happened to me, i'm really hoping they have just missed the number off of the end and we will get our points still (fingers crossed)!!
    just out of interest, what condition are the boxes of your juicy tubes??

    Got everything I ordered! And all the promised points! Yippee..

    A greedy question though: If I use points to buy stuff in store, can I still get the 4points for every pound spent? Anyone has any idea? Tried to look on Boots website but didn't find anything.

    My boxes are ok so can wrap for presents but really cant afford to keep them if dont get the points (was going to use the extra points for some toys for xmas) and not sure if can return as make-up, although if dont get the extra points I will argue on that basis...

    Those that have got the points, what did you order?

    My boxes are all battered and ripped :mad::mad:
    I haven't seen anyone else post on here who should have got over 10000 points, but the ones who got below 10000 seem to have got all their points!?
