Does anyone know (before I go and try it), if the No7 freebie will work with the gift sets? It doesn't say "not on gift sets" on the poster.

Also, if it does, will it work with the 3 for 2 so you can get 3 freebies for the price of two gift sets (if that makes sense!!)

hi, it does work with the gift sets but i only bought 2 (both costing £15, one was lip glasses and one was a make-up set) and my 3rd item on the 3 for 2 was a baby toy. so i can confirm that i got 2 free no7 bags, but i don't know about getting 3 lol!

Hey, Thanks for your help on finding the gorgeous feet products.. got the deal and was very pleased! Went to the boots shopping evening last night and got all my christmas shopping finished. My mum came too.. luckily she doesnt have an advantage card so I earned around 4000 point and only spent £80 as we put our shopping together and it came to £150 so I got her extra ponts. Brings my points balance to £114 now.. thanks again to all who posted!!!

went to my local Boots store today and came back feeling like a wanted criminal!!!

I tried to use the BOGOF Foot Treats vchr with a 3 for 2 offer and bought some nappies, etc. Got to the till and the lady on it was a new SA. She scanned the BOGOF voucher and it didn't go through, i queried it and she hesitated a bit and said that i can't use it with the 3 for 2 offer.
Next thing i know the store manager came and stood next to the SA supervising the transaction. She (the manager) made me feel like i was going to steal the items and run off with them or something! :mad: She queried everything and checked every item on the recipt.
I had a few things that i wanted to return but did not bother as i could not stand to stay there for another minute.
I just paid for the items and left.
Now i'll have to go to another store and return the gift packs.

A terrible day and a horrible expreience.

I went to the shopping evening yesterday, spent loads then discovered the evening was the previous day so no loadsa points! I got the Max Factor freebie but now I wonder if the different coloured boxes contain different things. I got 3 for 2 on No 7 and almost forgot the freebie bags...had to dash for them while at the till. SA wasn't going to let me have 2 but she scanned them and they worked. In fact I think she scanned it three times as I'm sure there are three on my receipt. Had my gorgeous feet voucher but a space on the shelf where the gift bags were. I think I'm a bit rusty at bootsing!

I went into Boots today and did a print of vouchers from the Advantage machine. I got one for buy one get one free on Gorgeous Feet but it did state it could not be used on gift packs. Looks like they have wised up to this one.

Went to boots today and professional hair voucher had changed to 75 points on a spend over £4. I bought 3 silverkrin items for my daughter and it came to £6.20 but points didn't go on and sa said I couldn't have them as not a prof product, however nowhere did it list what were prof products might ring customer services.

Anyway went to check machine again and it was offering 100 points off mark hill, I think, tried to use both but couldn't but did get 100 points, now plan to return Mark Hill product.

I've been through my cupboard and have loads of time delay, do you think they would let me take any back. I've got about 9 facial scrubs!
