Huge Glitch Over 60s P & P Boots!!

Comments

  • My receipt reads:

    Serum £54.00

    Over 60s save £ 4.90 LESS

    Save £20.00 LESS

    No7 Voucher £ 5.00 LESS

    Which gives me a balance of £24.10, and the 10% over 60s save is made after the £5 voucher has been deducted. HTH

    Yes makes sense now! Didn't think of the over 60s discount!! Wot to blame - its friday, i'm tired, got a baby, i'm blonde!!!

    10% over-60's discount used to be off the original price, but is now off the price after discount.

    I tried instore at No 7 counter today, but total came to £34 before £5 voucher, so cheapest I could have got it for was £29. Can't justify £30ish on body lotion, so I politely declined. Worth a try though, well done to those who got the glitch xx
  • Glad that so many of you were successful. :)

    She can register for a card before she makes her purchase and they will give her a temporary/cardboard one. If she has never had a Boots card before tell her to take proof of her age, and ask to join the Health club when she registers.

    So long as she is over 60 and in the Health club, she will automatically qualify for the 10% off all Boots products.

    It is well worth it, as Boots have many of their own products which aren't always obvious at first glance. Sanctuary used to be one of theirs, but sadly isn't now.

    hi can you explain what the health club is pls, sorry i'm new
    my mum has been spending hundreds on vitamin supplements on boots, i had no idea she could have saved soem money, thanks

    It is like the parenting club except it is for the over 60's. If you go to a till with proof of age they can add this club to your mum's advantage card. It takes 10% off Boots own make. I am not sure if there are any other benefits but I am sure if you look online you will find some information about it or maybe someone else on here will know more than I do?

    I find it very irritating that the Health Club discount doesnt appear half the time on online purchases. Ive sent them a dozen mails about this and still its inconsistent.

    The name is misleading cos it isnt just for "health" stuff its for ALL Boots brand stuff, including makeup and skin care.
  • im 22 and my reciept always shows over 60s discount :D no idea why I get it but im not complaining!
