6 4 1 worked for me twice today, got an assortment of body shimmers and after suns, the SA already knew about it and was bragging it was even cheaper with their discounts! Going back for normal suncream tomorrow, can't wait to get my "proper" advantage card so I can use the machines for extra vouchers and things too.
Spent £17 in three transactions and gained 1400 points too!

6 4 1 working at 6pm tonight in Durham, Arnison Centre.....the SA even told me how it worked......also they were reducing every single item of botanics in the shop. To make way for new packaging she said. The free moisturiser was working with reduced stuff. All botanics was half price.

This might sound stupid, but how did you get the points voucher out the bag - the ones I've seen have had a plastic tag keeping them shut; I was trying to have a nose inside to see what was there but couldn't see, and don't think I'd manage to get a voucher out without looking very suspicious!!!

Also the vitimins voucher in the bag is great with 300 points on a £1.45 bottle of vits!

No, I know exactly what you mean! I actually took mine outside (after I'd bought it!) to remove said voucher before next transaction. I was wishing I'd taken a pair of scissors with me! Probably as well though to make sure that you do get one with the plastic tag given that there have been reports of vouchers not being there...

Hi does anyone know if the free huggies changing bag voucher is still going through without the nappies?
thank you

I used mine this week and tried it without nappies and IT DIDNT WORK.
I went and picked nappies and it went through fine. Although I have used one before by just buying the 79p one huggie swimmer nappies but they had none in stock this week.

can someone confirm or refute, does the 250pts voucher work with the burgundy bag that is currently selling (was gift with purchase), bought it with the intention of using up my £5 vouchers. Just want to know if I have a right to shout or not!?!?

Mine had to be done manually - did not scan

Easy! Shove first and second fingers into opening. Fish around until you feel paper of voucher, as opposed to tissue paper in which the make-up is wrapped. Grab voucher with scissor action and gently tease it back out the gap. If a bit difficult, try folding it over once or twice before pulling it out. Folding in the shape of an origami lotus flower is not necessary for beginners. It will be quite sufficient to pull the voucher out with a flourish and shout "Ta Da" before joining the queue for the cashdesk.

I spent all day laughing as i relieved boots of its suncare burden and now youve started me off again.Very very funny!!!!!!!!
re 641 working worked for me in the south at 11am,11;30(lunch break) 12;15 and finally 5;00 and 5;20pm so its still there to be had.

hand over the bag, THEN the 250 points voucher, and then the £5 no7 voucher. I have tried it the other way around and it won't add the 250 points for me after it has deducted the £5 (and some sa's won't manually add them).
