    Enjoy everyone!! .... Wish I had the willpower to save it for the sales but KNOW am going to pop in for my 3 for 2 on Christmas gifts this year! :D
    Just as a side question - i'm recently new to Advantage card - how I do spend the points that I have available? Do I just ask the sales assistant? Can I spend just some of the points or do I have to spend the whole lot at once?

    Like you, I will likely use them for Christmas gifts.

    You just say you want to pay with your points and hand over your card. You need enough points to cover what you are buying - you can't buy items with part points part cash. You don't need to use all your points at once.

    Excellent. Thanks for the info :)
  • Have filled in my details and pressed submit to buy deal, the button immediately changed to saying 'purchase pending', and it's doing nothing, been like it for over 5 minutes. Has this happened to anyone else, and do you think I can start again, or will it have already registered?

    I'm not a big expert when it comes to Advantage card points and I don't have a Boots with a kiosk anywhere near me , so I reckon have lost out on some points expiring on some online purchases by the time I get round to sticking my card in a machine!..

    Have never actually redeemed it but was told at the till I can't use my points with a voucher transaction eg 50p of Pantene coupon etc but SHOULD work on the 3 for 2 gifts hopefully??

    I think I have a whole 4 pound something on mine lol so around 19 quid to spend which will be just under 30 pounds on 3 for 2 gifts???

    I think you just hand your card to the SA and let her / him know you'd like to spend your points , don't think it has to be whole balance at once :D:D

    I've seen the machines but never used one, so hopefully they are simple to use as well.

    I just have to make sure I buy something on treat street and it tracks to get the 1500 points :D

    Everyones says purchase pending as follows ;

    ''Purchase pending This voucher will become active on 10/19/2011. Your payment will be processed at that time.''
    On the deal page it SHOULD say 1 is yours in blue though?

    me neither. so frustrating. I have reset my password because it didn;t recognise it, and now it won't let me log in it just keeps taking me back to another log in page. Possibly technical problems.
