Does anyone know whether the suncare 6 4 1 offer works on the blue (after sun) items as well?

I saw in a previous thread that the self tanning doesnt work but wonder if the others do.

Yes it does!!

450 points it says on voucher does it get transferred to 250 in england?

theres a promotion and in store you should see a stand either by no7 or by main tills with little booklets pink, orange, green, blue&grey.Each have differnet vouchers points offers inside plus an advice chart for the change 1 thing programme you choose to follow.The green book has vouchers for vitamins which combined with the 300 points makes it a better deal!

Today I spent £11.55 with savings of £33.77 and 1450 points, and I've still got 2 x 250 points to use!!!

Got 3 burgandy bags on 342 (and got 250points), because I only had 1 x £5 voucher. Then used the vouchers to get 3 lots of vitamin C for 75p each (with the £1 change one thing vouchers) and 900 points. Also got 3 lip shimmers for 50p (with the £5 voucher I got from buying bags) with 250points again, and a Umberto Gianni shine mist free with £3 voucher.

A good day, now to plan for tomorrow and Wednesday with the 4 sets of £5/£3 coming from ebay! Saving one to get new gift on Wednesday.

Thanks onle they ran out of the pink freebie boxes in Gloucester and gave me the old lilac bags and of course the voucher inside is out of date. Is it worth ringing customer services?

It depends if you really want to use the points voucher for the Uplifting range. The lilac bag is much better value than the mini pink stripey box as its got a full size lipstick, mini nail varnish and mascara - worth more than 300 pts HTH

Just noticed in our local Boots that there are new notices saying that certain kinds of behaviour will NOT be tolerated. Amongst the more obvious like stealing is a worrying one, acting suspiciously. Ummm guess that rules out staying too long looking for the best deals then, lol.

They have run out of vouchers on the pharmacy till in Harlow but still had some at the main tills. No body bars or waffle mitts left on the botanics offers so had to settle for a lip gloss.

Sunscreen nearly all gone too! Oh woe is me!

My store hasn't got the No7 Suncreams out yet just phoned CS and she said they won't be out until March time.

Does anyone know if Tamworth or Walsall have the suncream and if the 641 will still be on tomorrow?

Called at Tamworth on way home yesterday. They had suncream but no £5.50 items. This was the one on the retail park behind Asda, next to JJB and Sports Soccer.

Hi, it should say 450 on one side and 300 pts on the other. The change 1 thing is a small paper booklet with coupons in, the green one has a £1 off any boots vitamin. I found them on a stand near the vitamins.

I didn't get the points either when I bought a burgundy bag - she said it was because I had used a £5 voucher and it was not to be used in conjunction with any other offer. the same happened with my vitamins - because I used a £1 off voucher I didn't get the 300 points added. Oh well, I did get 4 £15 Botanics bags reduced to £1.50 each and 3 Lynx sets for 99p each.

Got points on £1.75 vitamins and used £1 voucher too, handed points voucher over first, as mentioned by another person on this thread.

in my store there are no £5.50 suncare items left and they have not replenished the stock, when you look at the no 7 products the sa on the other counters all glare at you and stand around whispering, maybe they could do with some training in customer care.
