The Great 'Boots Bargains' Hunt

md123

Went to Boots this morning for various toiletries. I needed to buy nappies and baby wipes and I saw the offer for 500 extra reward points if you spent £25. But as pampers economy packs were either £8.96 or 2 for £13.50 and baby wipes were on BOGOF. I bought them thinking that I wouldn't get the extra points as I had then spent under £25.

However, I don't know if it was a mistake but they have given me the points as I had spent over £25 before savings were taken off.

Are all machines doing the *extra points when you spend £7.50*? If id combined my items on Wednesday i would have got it, but i cannot see the machine on my own so i didn't realise until it was too late.

I would take all your purchases back in the bag on Tuesday (if possible) with the receipt, and explain nicely to an assistant. In my local store, which is small, there's no Advantage Machine, the 'nicest, most helpful' girls are on the pharmacy section.

I think they will check your receipt, and deduct the item you haven't received, and you'll probably get to keep the points. Good luck.

I didn't know they did this, how did you prove it was 79p in SuperDrug?
