Sorry to be a pain but how do we nominate for post of the month?

Purple bag worked for me no problems but my sister was unable to get the lips bag in her store.

Seems to vary from store to store.

Good Luck

i would just take it back to the store and say they didnt put the voucher through..... is anyone else concerned that the amount of points CS give away they may stop it altogether as anyone could just ring up and say they had a bad experience, no extra points put through etc..??

(please dont think i mean you its just something ive been thinking about since i had to phone up for mine - there have been loads of posts with people phoning to complain etc and getting loads of points just makes you wonder if it will come to an end if they are giving away lots everyday) :eek:

Yes i thought this too! They do seem to give points away easily, but I wouldn't abuse this and ring up/e-mail unless I had a genuine nark about something. I didnt really expect compensation for what i was complaining about, I just suggested they should review their policies ! !

Do you think its just MSE's that complain tho? - probably!!

If you pick up a magazine they have points vouchers in the back...

The no7 bags that are on offer at the minute have vouchers in them, generally when a gift comes out they have vouchers in so always worth checking them out.

Sign up for mailings from boots, double check incase you do think you are already signed up as it may have no mailings next to your preferences.

Have a look in the change one thing booklets as there are points vouchers in there too.

I find small boots/small superdrugs often have a lot of stuff reduced in them anyway - moreso than the big shops ? or maybe its just hidden better in the big shops

Hiya - just wanted to say many thanks to all posters for sharing great tips. There were some Botanics stuff marked down to £1 in my local boots, so FINALLY managed to get hold of some freebies - sitting here freshly scrubbed with my hands & face all moisturised!

Have been using my AC for last few weeks, but once card is in, no offers ever come up for me, it only lets me see & print the offers in store. Have called customer servcies and they say it takes time to build up offers suitable for me, but i thought most of the offers were general ones, e.g. extra points on.... It only worked the very first time i used my card, giving me 400 point for £35 spend, but nothing since. Does this sound right???

Thanks for any responses xx

Try a different machjine in another store if you can, that may help.
