Nope, the 3for2 can be paid for with points, the tills are set to take off every third item and it's not like a cash voucher where there is something that needs to be scanned in that clashes with the points bit.
You can also use points to pay for bogofs and 2 for £x deals - I used them for the two 500ml Cokes for £1.40 the other day.

That's correct, PaleScene. Any multibuy offers do work with points.

I bought several photo frames yesterday that were BOGOF, and I paid with 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.

No thats wrong, i used points to buy three gifts on 3 for 2 and they came off ok. Ive always had multibuys or linksaves when paying with points.

Thea's Mummy, it was not a machine voucher. It was a previous poster on here that mentioned it (can't take credit for it!!). It works on Boots razors, or any hair removing product.

There is no advertising in my store about it, just using the knowledge on here.

However I did mean to say that I was respectfully disagreeing with cat72, not 'Oi! Yer wrong!' so I hope it didn't come across as that.

The Chrimble shopping evening I went to last year I spent £100 and split it into two £50 batches, but got burned because they would only take one double points voucher on the night though I had factored for using two - as I had two... This year I managed to again spend £100 (mainly on toothpaste and water filters - not fun stuff!) and grabbed my 2000 points in one go - with double points coupon. I would have been very glad of cat72's advice about it if I'd not seen the bit on the site

Its ok if I was wrong -I am only going on my own experience and this is what I was told the last time I tried to redeem specail offers with points. It was a while ago -so maybe things have changed since then. I suppose the best way to find out is to try.
It doesnt mention anything on the advantage card site about it ,Might be an idea to pin this question to the front page.
PALESCENE-
Can i pick your brain. How many points did you get for using the double points coupon on the christmass night as I have one too and am wil be spending £100 tomorrows christmass night ? Swoon - be great if you got double your extra points !!!

I want to buy Speed demon gift experience for my husband. It costs £175.00, but inside every exerience I saw a voucher for 10% OFF further gift exerience purchases. Maybe someone bought it and won't use this voucher? It would save me £17,50 so it would be very apreciated

Edited: Of course, I will give you the voucher back, because the box I'll buy also contains this voucher

Anta its usually cheaper to buy directly from the Venue, I bought a Flight one for my partner through one of these experiences and paid £105 had i booked direct with the Airfield it would have been £50 the companies make a huge profit on these.

Does anyone know - will there any shopping events on November or December?

Today I bought some nappies and other parenting stuff, and planned to buy some No7 stuff with my £5 OFF voucher as well. Printed 200 points coupon from AC machine for No7 purchase but forgot to take No7 stuff. SA scanned the coupon (as well as others) and I'm not sure, but I think it came through! I think it might be worth a try to give this coupon without a purchase if you buy a lot of other stuff. However, I really can't be sure, because I don't remember which other coupons I used, and I got 900 offer points - so 200 of them might be for No7 purchase which I obviously didn't buy.
If someone will try this again, please let us know if it works.

And I've got some coupons that I won't use, maybe someone will use it?
£1 OFF Avent future mother or baby skincare range - it's Avent's brand coupon, not Boots own (valid 30/3/2007)
£1 OFF any single product from Avent Baby skincare range - Boots coupon, which will work together with Avent's one - of course, if SA let you to do this (valid 30/11/06)
50p OFF Avent bottle - 3 coupons, each valid till 30/11/06
150 points for any pack of huggies wipes (3 coupons, valid 30/11/06) which can be used in conjunction with Huggies own brand coupon £1 OFF Huggies wipes (2 coupons, valid till 08/12/06 and 21/12/06).
£1 OFF any Huggies little swimmers (valid 08/12/06), which can be used with single nappies, 78p - so you get it totally free.
2 x £1 OFF Huggies convertibles 2in1, Huggies supreme or Huggies pull-ups (valid till 21/12/06)

There is also a 10% Off voucher which is valid from 15/11-21/11/06 for a Min.£45 spend. Valid in store or online.

There's actually no minimum spend required instore!

The £45 minimum spend only applies to online sales.
