What is a ACM? and how does it give vouchers out? Sorry for the stupid questions!

:j Went back to get the wrap today from different Boots and not the No.7 counter. Got 2 £7.50 suncare BOGOF so got the wrap for £2.50 after my £5 voucher.

Later went to my usual Boots on the way home from work to use up some more of my £3 haircare vouchers. One of the senior SAs was quite sharp, she came over to the till where I was being served and snidily commented that "I appear to know more about the offers than she does". I commented back that it would be a shame to waste my vouchers. What I really felt like saying was, "with an admission like that you're in the wrong job" but I thought better of it as didn't want to provoke her. I have too much on my AC to get involved in petty arguments and risk being banned!!

The young SA serving me was lovely and agreed with me that it would be a shame not to spend my vouchers and just carried on serving me.

Must say with the exception of a T & G shampoo, I had deliberately gone for low priced items to avoid paying any extra to my vouchers and they don't like that do they.

Thanks to all my friends on here I was brave enough to confront her and continue with my shop without a care. I couldn't have done that a few weeks ago!:T :T :j

I used my points to buy no7 products today and no7 lady refused to give me a voucher, wasnt very nice about it either. i,m taking it back tomorrow

She was right not to give you the voucher, you don't earn vouchers when redeeming points. Not nice to be snotty about it though, she should have explained in a helpful manner.

slight tangent but have you seen the new 'Boots Expert' packaging? Its white with big writing. It has replaced the 'skin kindly' and 'hair science' ranges apparently. i think it looks absolutley tacky and awful!!

the ranges before always looked nice on the bathroom shelf - but the new ones would look like a long line of nit lotion to me

Yes, I agree looks cheap and nasty and wouldn't be tempted to buy any of it from the appearance of the packaging.

ACM stands for advantage card machine. It gives you vouchers when you put your card in. Check out posts 1 and 2 for lots of useful info!

There is a new double voucher being given when you spend £5 instore. Half is a facial skincare voucher for men, other half is a facial skincare voucher for women - both are worth £2.50 each

How gutted am I - going to Florida in May and thought I'd stock up on sun lotion now. But the only offer I could see was on Soltan, which brings me out in a rash! I must keep on top of these threads

They're free when you spend £5.

Has anyone found anything cheap to use the £2.50 men's voucher on yet?

I've been coming into work after lunch with massive Boots carrier bags every day for weeks now, everyone thinks I'm mad, lol!
