Hi

The triple points ends online on Tuesday. Is it the same in store or are they now finished?

Thanks

Yesterday I used voucher from ac machine for gogeous feet BOGOF with 3 for 2 gift offer-had printed voucher earlier in week.
It didn't go through automatically and sa thought it was 'cos voucher had 29th Nov printed on it(day I got it from machine)but I pointed out it said valid to 5th Dec. She tried another time to scan it but eventually put it through manually.
So only actually paid £15.00 for first item and two gorgeous feet gift sets free.
I do think they've spotted this one though. I won't try it again.

buy 31p razors in lady section and pick up botanics golden glow lotion-it has to be new packaging with white strip at top

Thanks for this

It was pretty funny actually -she tried a ligloss in store and promptly had a full blown facial reaction to it which was what prompted the pharmacist to let us in on the secret of the free nhs over the counter scheme! They were very nice but I guess as her face was getting redder and blotchier and her lips were swelling they really did have to do something!

Can anyone help please?

I bought skincare for my mum today, but I got caught bringing it into the house and it turns out it's no use to her. Can I return it?

Adding insult to injury I can't find the receipt, I think it must have blown away, gale force winds up here today.

How will I stand, if I can return it will I be given a credit?

Looking on the bright side, triple points on mums card, she's never had it so good!

My voucher from the ACM machine on Saturday 2nd said "excluding gift sets".

New botanics lotion has a white stripe at the top of the label. Try showing the mag to the SA, they can override the tills, and should do so if you show them the pic in the mag and that is what you are purchasing.

Though in Cribbs in Bristol yesterday the old style one botanics lotion went through free with the 31p razors, and they still have the signs up about the offer in there - haven't seen signs in any of the other boots that I've visited!

Hola cannyscot
Yes you can buy the ipod nano with your points 129 quid worth of points.
Online you can also buy it. I got a 10% discount , plus 1500 or so points so
in theory you get the 4gb ipod for the price of the 2gb. Just depends what you want to do. HTH.

I am ringing them on Monday to ask them how to return the ipod I bought online as in principle I wanted to buy it with points.

Beware!!

I did this with an MP3 player. They said it would be fine to return to a store for refund, and then buy back with points. So, they gave me my refund, and then their system would not allow me to buy it back with points because it had been bought online. I couldn't even buy it back with the cash they'd just give me!!!:mad:


They rang HO and they rang Boots.com, but they said it couldn't be done, because the store system would not recognise the item.

However, if the iPod is something they stock instore, then they should have it on their system and it should be OK.
