I've got masses of points to use and that would be a great way of using them. Can someone please tell me if I am going mad or not.

Yes you did read on here cause it was me that posted it and i got the info from the Boots magazine so clearly the staff dont know about it. Call CS and see what they say about it. Let us know too.

Ok, here are the moisturisers I have received free by buying a 99p soap bar

Body Enriching Cream
Nourishing Body Butter
Face Lift Firming Cream
Moisturising Eye Cream
First signs of ageing Face renewal cream
Normal/Dry Night Shift Moisture Cream
Pore Perfecting Night Cream

These all scanned automatically and no adjustment needed by the SA.

Yes all automatic, with the new style body bar.

OMG, I can't wait to go shopping at Boots, I usually only do the 3 for 2 at Xmas and get some points offers then - looks it could be an all year activity with these sort of offers.

What does the new style body bar look like, is it the dark one in the picture in a recent post or someone mentioned a light blue one?

Lol, you're not going mad, it was in a health and beauty magazine a few months back, and I tried to do this as well, it doesn't work. I rang CS, and was told (after the cs advisor had gone around everyone they could find) that it must have been a misprint and that they were very sorry. I got 1000 points credited for having to argue with the people in my local boots store as they were saying I must have mis-read the article.

I am afraid it is not that straight forward.

Further to my post yesterday about the new darker packaged body bars which did not work with the lighter older packaged moisturiser, I found some of the older body bars today, which I bought with the same moisturisers as yesterday. They had not worked yesterday with the new packaging, but did work today with the older bars.

Therefore my theory has worked for me so far.

2 x light green packaged items will link-save
2 x dark green packaged items will link-save
1x light + 1x dark will not automatically link save and will need the sa to manually overide.

I still think somebody will tell me they have had a different experience, but this has been my experience over the last 3 days

PS I do hope this makes sense at it sounds clearer in my head than in writing lol!!

Can I ask, the first shop was obviously in one go, did they have to scan it any particular order for the moisturiser to come up as free with the body bar. Also were these the 99p body bars. Thanks.

I jusy handed my goods to the sales assistant in order. Also yes they are 99p, its a skin reviving body bar, they are in a light sky blue box, and smell lovely!! :j
