Juliepink does it only work on those items, or on sunscreens as well? Do you know?

From previous threads it seems that it works with sun screens and after-suns, but not instant tan stuff.

Obviously the more expensive the individual items the more you have to pay at the end ... it seems simpler to buy products that are all the same or similar price.

i think any suncare product but these are the ones i know worked today, all around the same price.

SA confirmed Instant Tanning is classed as Skincare and not Suncare - although they seemed to be always placed with the suncare. Really confusing.

Just a quick question, I know that the 3for2/6for1 works with suncare but not tanning things, but I wasn't sure whether the bronzers and shimmer pearls etc would work (things that are in the Instant Sunshine section online)? To me, they aren't tanning things as they don't actually change your skin colour, but didn't want to pick up the wrong things in the shop.

can I just check that these "linksave" items don't work if paying with points only. I know I cant use the £5 voucher with points but the till refused me when I offered points trying to pay for the Botanics bar with moisturiser, the SA did apologise.

This is my first time posting on here but just wanted to say thank you for this post

I have managed to get a fair few presents sorted for the coming year with the 75% off, saved myself about £70.

Went into my local Boots today and managed to get a 99p Botanics body bar and chose a night moisturiser worth £5.99, then used the 100 points voucher so was effectively paid 1p to take it away

Also got a Boots cold/flu remedy (reduced to 99p) so using the 100 points voucher was again paid 1p to take it away

Didn't attempt the No7 loophole (had DH and my sons with me and they were fed up by this point lol) but did get the cleanser and concealer i normally use for £1.50 each instead of £6.50 each.


Could get addicted to this i think.......;)

I've had a problem with redeeming link-save offers for points in the past and when I emailed CS they confirmed that you should be able to do this.

Vouchers cant be used when paying with points but normal link saves should work

points can not be used it is in the terms and conditions. "this voucher can not be used when rredeeming points"
