Free Radox deodorant with Radox bath stuff isn't on offer in Newport, Isle of Wight store. Just tried! Seems a bit strange, as usually offers are the same in all stores?

Sure you have to have a machine voucher for this, its not just on in store regardless.

Thanks for that Lisawood78 and Liverbird - obviously missed the vital post!! They're coming thick and fast at the moment! Did get a second free mini Trevor Sorbie voucher though today.

The Ruby and Millie sets are in fact 1/2 price at £17.50 and as cookiemonster25 rightly pointed out are on 3 for 2. So if you are buying 3 sets you will get them for the same price as one set was before the offer. Ends 17th December I think. :T

The offer ends 12 December, I believe.

Depends if it's worded that you get the free box when you spend over a fiver because then you're only ever going to be entitled to one per transaction - and your items couldn't have been split into two over five.

I spent £10 on eyeliner and makeup wipes, and I got 2 boxes, I was cheeky and asked first.

Don't know if this has been mentioned before....but the 200pt professional haircare voucher works with the voucher for the haircare miniature freebie. Just buy a couple of other things to disguise it!

"Boots Tart Trade Secret, No 34"

Further to Liverbird's advice above...

It is not entirely unheard of for the till to accept ANY voucher from the AC machine, regardless of whether or not you've bought the product.

Accidents do happen and sometimes the wrong voucher gets handed over...

I had an email back from Boots today regarding me being refused the purchase of no7 and 17 with free gifts, using points.

The email said that this has never been allowed, that offers aren't valid when using points either and that this is included in the terms and conditions of the Advantage Card application form.

So this would lead me to assume that BOGOFS, 3 for 2's, link saves and Multi saves, using points aren't allowed either - BUT I know I've had them before and I also know I've redeemed points for No7 offers with the free gifts too... hmmm! Not quite sure what to believe.

Hi bedshaped

That may be a bit of BS from CS, but thinking of all my tarting exploits, I can't remember receiving a free gift with points. (Maybe wrong though)

How are the no7 & no17 free gifts shown on the receipts? Do they come up as a "Link Save" or do they just register as 0.00?

If they're Link Save, you could prove or disprove what CS have told you with the current "Free Bronze Gift Bag" (normally 200 points) when buying 3 for 2 on selected toiletries. If that successfully went thru the till when redeeming points, you may have something to back up your argument.

As you mentioned, all the other till offers work fine when redeeming points.

no offers at all on te machine for me yesterday, didn't understand that and was a bit annoyed ..... but still my 3000 ktchen appliance points are now on :-)

Clowance

Can anyone confirm or disprove this? I bought one box yesterday and forgot about the points for two.
