Hi Advantage card
Do you get points for buying cd's on their music bit?

LOL! That's the reason I didn't get that shampoo for my hubby! There's also an FCUK one for under £3 but it's anti-dandruff too -- goodness knows why they think all men have dandruff

Had to go for a Trevor Sorbie shower gel for £2.99 instead :rolleyes: seeing that men dare moan about FREE stuff that someone else gets for them :rolleyes:

The Inverness Eastgate branch had loads of these magazines today and all packaged up with the little booklet that has the 10% off coupon.

i visited a boots branch in portsmouth whilst away for the weekend and saw a huge shelf full of reduced products. i had husband and 2 disgruntled teenagers groaning under weight ( iam in a wheelchair) was really excited, first sale i have seen and have saved £24 in points. new user. but am sure i was over charged and really upset. lots of things had no price on but had further reductions on shelf, say a sanctionary gift set was £20 then £10 then £6.33. obviously didnt memorise them all so off to till and they scanned stuff through but no way where the amount of points that came off the same as the prices i saw. i commented and she said oh dont worry all comes off at end. but after only few items points had run out and needed to pay an extra £15 my calculations left me with money on card.not seeing prices on till as they went through was so hard to work it out and obviously now back in london too late to challenge them!!!!

Little Me gift sets still coming up at the same deal, i got some today, my partner better not find them he will go mad, my spare room is like a Boots shop, I saw the toothbrushes but didn't dare get them in case they didn't work, does anyone know if they are still going through cheap ??

Teesside stores are where i shop.

Thanks

Whoever offered me the voucher - can you PM me so then I can PM you back with my address? THANKS

Yes you get points for buying off bootsentertainment.com but it's a third pary site so doesn't give out the promotional vouchers or participates in the triple poitns, sigh. If there weren't any Advantage Card Points for using it i'd shop elsewhere, lol!

Typical that Inverness Eastgate Centre now have the polybagged Health and Beauty mags in - but if i tried to get another one they'd probably have a hairtyfit, as i got told i couldn't have another copy once before.

Just spent another £53.99 on a Fathers Day presnt @ Boots.com - got 10% off as extra poitns codes wouldn't work with triple poitnts still being on yest i STILL walked off with £7.19 worth of points and there's £1.32 worth to come from my pletheror of cds so that means a total of £8.51 of online poitns to come - WOO HOO.

You can have as many magazines as you like in seperate transactions . There is also an online code for an extra 1000 points if you spend over £25 at boots.com, not sure if it would work on bootsentertainment.com tho hth

I couldn't get the code to work today for the extra 1000 points although I have used it before

If I were you I would have a look at all the items you have bought and compare the amount of points that each cost. If you feel that they do not add up then you should write a letter to Boots detailing the points removed for each item and an estimation of the price you think it may have been, you could also check on line for the price or give the store you shopped at a call and ask them if they wouldn't mind telling you the prices as you think you may have been over charged. Don't leave it though because I am sure that Boots will be very interested to see how much they have inconvenienced a loyal customer!
