    As far as I can tell its a link-save item, ie, when you buy hair removal items you get the Botanics body glow lotion free.


    Yes it is a link save. Just produce the razors and the Botanics Gold Glow Lotion (in a pump bottle) and you will not be charged for the lotion. Bargain :j
    Is this an offer from machine or simply Boots own brand razors ? Thanks

    I had a bad experience at boots today. I wanted to exchange some huggies nappies for a different size. Well, it turns out, the pack was ripped, and the SA accused me of using nappies out of the pack!! When I was adamant that I did not, she then said "well, we wouldn't sell it to you in this condition" I was LIVID!! I mean, c'mon, who does that?! Anyway, she said she asked the SA who originally served me and he had stated he didn't sell it to me in that condition, mind you, this happened in a 20 minute time span of buying and attempting to exchange.

    SA said manager said I can exchange on this occasion, but in future to check the pack before leaving the store.

    So I asked her if she was going to apologise for the assumptions she was making, she said she was only relaying information her manager had said, which was a lot of old rubbish!

    Anyway, I managed to get:

    Eye care cream
    Gift bag
    Usual parenting stuff
    250 points on huggies
    Changing bag (which I'm donating to local mother and baby project)
    and huggies with £1.50 off coupon

    Total before hand was £60+ I paid £4.52, used £4.00 gift card! Very pleased, apart from above experience.

    Hi, sorry if this has been posted but I used the '300 points when purchasing any boots vitamins' voucher (from the No 7 bag) today with a tub of £1.69 multivitamins. So they paid me £1.31 to take them away!! This was the cheapest vitamins I could find, unless anyone knows of anything cheaper?

    Boots Learn to Play Fly Globe £22.00 (free on 3 4 2)

    Total: £54.98

    Used £50 in Boots vouchers from Pigsback and £4.98 of my own money.
    Points: 219
    Double points coupon: 219
    350 Points on £30 or over spend
    *Offer points*: 1100

    (so £18.88 back in points!!)

    My first Leapad £24.99
    My First Leapad book £10.00
    Royal Ballet tutu & wings set £10.00 (free on 3 4 2)

    When I asked the SA what the offer points where she said "Erm I dunno really, they seem to be giving points on toys today":rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

  • Hi,

    Just found this little corker on the Boots Website!

    Barbie Perfume 40ml £3.75! Great stocking filler for every little girl hurrying to grow up!

    Hope this helps! (I think this is the link!?)

  • Hi,
    Apologies if this has been answered before, but....
    If you pay for items with points does the 3 4 2 still work. I have enough points for 2 things i want but hoping a 3rd will come free!

    You get 1000 points for every £50 spend, so you dont need to split shopping up into £50 lots. If you spend £150 you will get 3000 points.We didnt know this lasy year and were buying extra to make our baskets into £50 spends ! This year I am wiser- with piggypoints vouchers I am only buying 2 items one at £40 and another at £65, which I will get 2000 points for.So just bung all your item into the one shop the till will work it out for you.

    Plus, as a special treat, for every £50 you spend on the evening we'll give you a great big 1000 Advantage Card points* that's worth a generous £10 back for you to spend on your Advantage Card. So why not treat yourself to something special in store. There's no limit to the number of points you can collect, if you spend £100 we'll give you 2000 points,

    No sorry you dont get any specail offers or discounts when paying with points so you would need enough points to pay for three items.
  • I thought that was the case, i done it last year but memory failing me!!!!
    thank you
