not impressed at all. being called a cheapskate in front of a queue of people is rather humiliating. think i will give up bootsing now!


Oh that's terrible, so sorry to hear that. I am prob off to Preston store this week so I will make sure they don't make me miss out. You should call CS and explain, they will prob give you extra points


Could you please check the name of SA on your receipt. Last week one of young lady on the till wasnt to happy with me using £1off and 300p for vitamins and didnt give me coupon. i was served by Laura... I get my coupon on weeknd asking for one and showing my recipt without any problems so i didnt bother to complain at her but if it was the same person who was rude to you i will drop an email as well...

ps. did you have any luck with mag @ fishergate? I'm going to deepdale today after work as it realy annoying that they still dont have new mag @ fishergate

The No7 bags that my local boots had were in black bags with pics of lipsticks on the front. No extra vouchers unfortunately. But still good value for £1.50 per bag once the voucher is taken into account.

I got one of these a week ago with a voucher and the contents are lovely The serum is particularly nice.

I got a 6 4 1 in Ashton on Saturday, no questions asked although i did go to the baby counter rather than No7.

Oh has anyone had a 6 4 1 on the No7 suncream and Aftersun? (above 5.50 price tag?)
As i think ive got enough lip shimmer and glossy locks to last the next few years!

Not managed to get enough stuff in Ashton to get the 641, I like the body scrub, please leave some for the weekend. I only managed 341 on Saturday, they did not stock up for sunday either

I went to the camera counter, woman there was amazed at how much I got for £7 (after vouchers), and of that I got half my money back in points.

Not tried Oldham yet

Hi, I posted this on the other thread last night but never got a response from anyone ...

so here goes again, The Boots No7 suncream offer? No signs up at all in either of my Boots stores, Is this a national offer, will it definately work??

Botanics travel size bottles (£1.49ish) do these qualify for free Moisturiser offer?

I have read the first few pages with the offers detailed but they don't answer my 2 questions..

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Did I not reply??? I Must be totally mad anyway I asked the lady to try the minis but they did not work. Reduced stuff does. No signs up but everything you read on here about the sun stuff will def. work - well did yesterday!!
