I know it's slightly off thread but if you're not getting points voucher from acm for toothpaste, go to Tesco, pick up some quit smoking packs, use vouchers and you'll get toothpaste and the like free.

Yes, I have some quit packs but I cant work out the deal which is as good as the Smile one at Boots. Mind you my lads have a toothpaste obsession so buying £10 of Colgate and just seeing how many 40p Colgates and 1.25/2.50s I can get away with is a lot better than no toothpaste at all. I dont suppose toothpaste counts as a beauty product just beauty. Mind you if I did half tresemme and half colgate I might get more accepted!

if you bought £20 worth of colgate you can use 2x £2.50 handb 5 x £1 handb
2x £1.25 quitpack toiletry and as many of the 40p coupons per toothpaste making the whole shop on toothpaste free and moey off your shopping. MM xx

So are the 'Max factor' giftpacks scanning for free with ANY purchase??

Would be grateful for a reply - about to go to Boots to try it then!!

they are free without any purchase so you don't have to buy anything-i tried once with a kohl pencil£4.50 and once without.Sa didn't query it and it went through fine.Disguise it with a couple of other items and pay at the photo or pharmacy if you feel worried.(they are still reasonable with a purchase-eyepencils are £4.50ish, lip pencils £4.50ish and face powder is £4.45)If a mean Sa does moan just say the eyepencil you planned to purchase slipped out of the basket!

Many, Many Thanks to sonee2405 for alerting us to the Gift boxes going through with any purchase. :T :T :T

May i add on to this, and say that this morning i tried this and confirm it works with any purchase.

BUT.........I found out that you can have both the Red and Black boxes with any purchase. The till recognises them as seperate offers!

In one of my transactions i bought 2 x dove body washes on bogof = £2.95, plus got 1 red and 1 black Max Factor gift boxes free!

HTH

I'm completely itching to go to my local stores to see if they've got any boxes! :rotfl: got a fist full of tesco vouchers so brain is trying to work out deals with them.... sunday should be a day of rest but i'm calculating and contemplating deals

This link shows a list of our stores with Max Factor make-up artists - so best try these stores for availability of the gift boxes. Included are the stores telephone numbers to check if you have to travel far.

Note: The store i got mine at this morning, Fareham, has a big display of them, with signs saying you have to purchase £15 of Max Factor products. Don't be put off, they will work on any purchase.

I know someone posted earlier that there are MF boxes at London Colney, and that's not on the list so it's worth a look in other stores.
