  • I am also having problems with this LivingSocial promotion - I made a purchase via the Boots Treat Street website with iTunes using the code issued on 24 October & again a few days later - still nothing is showing in my account, either pending or otherwise. The small print on the LivingSocial website states 'spend any amount on a qualifying purchase with your chosen Treat Street retailer'. Is this so? I've contacted Boots Treat Street & have obviously received the same generic reply that others have. Is there really a minimum spend or not as stated??:(
  • You have to spend at least a pound to earn boots points and therefore trigger livingsocial voucher.

    My points just tracked for a 59p purchase through iTunes. I did email them to ask about it this afternoon (and haven't had a reply yet), so I don't know if that was related.

    The points are showing up as 1 for the 59p purchase and 1500 bonus points.

    My iTunes purchase has finally tracked, although I had already triggered the points by purchasing something from elc. I was told by boots when I called that the iTunes purchase had not gone through via treat street.

    Mine did too!

    It now shows up in my account:

    iTunes Purchase- 1point
    Living Social- 1500 points

    Ebay purchase- 1point
    Living Social- 1500 points

    But, then it says cancelled transaction for one of the living social amounts, leaving me with my 1500 that I am supposed to get :)

    Bit strange the way they have done it though!

    I'm so annoyed! I did another purchase through Play.com seeing as iTunes originally did not track. The Play.com purchase tracked but NO 1,500 LivingSocial points. My iTunes one has now tracked, finally, but still NO LivingSocial points. Of course when I go to put in my code now on Treat Street it says already used, but my points aren't appearing!!! :mad:

  • My iTunes purchase has finally tracked. It shows as 1 point for a 99p purchase & 1500 points for the LivingSocial deal. Guess I was just being impatient, but then, we do live in an Amazon age now & I guess I expect to receive things as quickly as when I place an order with them ;-)
  • I purchased from iTunes on 22/10/11 for 79p

    Yesterday got an email to confirm my transaction has gone thru and got my 1500 points confirmed !!

    At last ! Now got to wait 35 days!!

    Hi guys,

    We want to apologise for the delay with iTunes transactions, and any other problems you've had redeeming your living social codes. We had an issue with iTunes not reporting transactions to us which unfortunately occurred at the same time as the Living Social offer, as you've seen, we've now fixed this issue and most of your 1500 points are now appearing in your account.

    For any customers who are still having issues in the next couple of days, the best thing to do is contact Boots customer care by phone on 0845 121 2837 - they are open till 7pm weeknights and are always very helpful


    thanks, Boots
