Boots grabbit - points booster!

Deals have changed over on Boots.com and if you buy 3 Biotherm items you receive 1500 points :) Whilst I've not found a glitch with this, it's a nice points boost for anyone looking to top up their points for a bigger item or for the sale lets say.

3 x Biotherm Bestselling Skincare Value Sets @ £9.90 each = £29.70 & 1500 points :D

Have no idea how to post links, but am sure that someone may be able to help out? Thanks!
:p

    There's another thread about 1000 points on a £50 spend 5th - 7th November which could be used in conjunction with this giving 4000 points on a £59.40 spend. I did a dry run and it accepted a code for a free baby changing bag too.
    Still virtually alcohol free since 4/1/15. (10 Xmas/ New Year/Birthday drinks)
    It takes 3500 calories to lose a pound in weight. Target 13 lbs weight loss. 18.5lbs lost 2nd May - 28 September.

    Sorry-how did you get 4000 points? My dry run would gain 2600 if I waited for extra points on Friday. Thanks!x

    You have to spend £50 for the extra 1000 so 6 x 9.90 set is £59.40
    1000 bonus points
    1500 pts for buying 3 items x 2
    Total 4000pts.

  • I like the maths, this weekend when there's 1200 points for a £50.00 spend, do you need a code or is it automatically applied?
    Comping wishlist for 2017
    1. Family holiday 2. Christmas presents :rudolf: 3. Fishing stuff

  • Just noticed too that you can get that No7 GWP for spending as little as £16 instead of the £22.

    For example

    X3 No7 Compact Mirror & Pouch @ £8 each system must think that because theres 3 it = £24 and add's the GWP to your bag but deducts £8 due to 342 :) Great if you wanted to buy them for gifts etc I guess. :)

    This weekend is only 1000pts, next wed/thurs will be the 1200pts. These will be added automatically, no code needed. Although they could take this offer off on the wed so might not work then.

    This weekend you could do
    9.90 set x 9 = £89.10
    Make spend upto £100
    4500pts Biotherm
    2000pts event promo
    1000pts on £100 code #485
    total of 7500pts

    Biotherm in price order

    1000 bonus points
    1500 pts for buying 3 items x 2
    Total 4000pts.

    Thanks Posh:D- 1500 & 1000 makes 2500 ?
    1500 extra for buying 3 sets.
    1000 extra points for spending £50
    then whatever normal points you would have got for the purchases anyway(is that 3 points per £1 ? So £50 would make it 150 points ?).

    Also is the 1500 points for Biotherm an extra or is that just the total they give you (eg 1500 points includes what they would give you for the product?)
    Sorry to be a pain:)
    Am I missing something? Maths isn't my strong point-obviously!!!:o

    Fab! Thanks. I wonder if this would work in store too, with the £5 voucher? Or is it not valid on gifts?

    nellienoo she means because your buying 6 lots of biotherm you get 1500 points for both sets of 3 (the offer is 1500 for 3, so 6 = x2 of the points = 3000)

    not very clear at explaining but hope you can see it!
