Can anybody help me if I go into store and do some photo processing I have about 2000 pics :eek: (from the past 5 years!!!) would it trigger on the till for the extra points?
I have looked at prices and appears I can get each pic at 5p so same as online, just thinking of extra points - unsure how to squeeze them all onto memory stick but hummm I will work around that somehow :rotfl:Thanks

You would be there forever, and as its such a huge order they probably wont finish processing it until the poins offer has finished.

Or you could split your order 1000 photos now & 1000 photos a the next points event.

(you could also try photobox, they are more suited to large orders)

Just copy and paste the address bar into a post for links to other sites or threads, also if you copy the # of a post it will add it as a link.#63

Good Idea that way I should squeeze them onto the memory cards too :T and as long as I make sure its 1000 photos it will trigger the points, in theory only costing me £40 or £80 over the 2 points events (or so I hope!) Thanks :A

There is a Save £2 WYS £10 or more using the Boots Digital Photo processing Service coupon in the new Boots Health and Beauty magazine - Free magazine to Advantage Card holders. You obv won't be able to get the extra points at the event that's on at the minute though, so probably not that helpful?! x

Let us know if you do get the extra points because I have a lot of photo's to print too and extra points would be perfect as the costs are coming to quite a large sum!

Actually, it seems you don't get the bonus points on photo printing:

I can confirm that you do get the points on in-store orders for photos!

Although they need to be picked up when an event is on to get any extra points!

Wow what fun I had took about an hour in store, at the kodak print station :rotfl:
But the result is I went to the advantage card point first and found a 20% off photo processing meaning my photos came to £78.24, then I asked the SA who said yes you do get the extra points, so I then looked around to add £21 to my order, not difficult with a baby needing dummies and a pack of nappies, then I found a baby gift ideal for 1st birthday parties invited to (ELC cat and dog wooden puzzles £3 each on 3 for 2) they look worth a lot more than that.

So I spent £106 in total and came away with 2024 points :T
So for 1956 photos on a 24hr service was 97.80 so I saved £19.56, so all in all a good points booster when I was going to get my phots developed anyway, and I would suggest doing as I did if the points offer is going off the next day, actually go to the counter and pay in advance for your photos like I did, so I know I have my points, and not paying the shocking price of .16p per print to get your photos in 1hr :eek:

Thanks for the info! I hope my bonus points vouchers can also be used at the event!
