    got one lot of 6 this morning no problem...
    went to another Boots this afternoon and tried 12 shots + 12 Ricolas?(1gbp each as it's also on 'herbal' products ;) ) but got trouted! :( the young male(!!) SA questioned the amount(my fault really as I miscalculated) and started asking lots of SAs/managers etc. and one manager came over and said I can only have one free shot for each 3 Ricolas! And she insisted it's what the offer says! LOL left them to it and will try a different one tomorrow ;) however any suggestions what to do with looaaads of spare vitamins will be very welcome :D

    checked tott h. no cheap vitamins so went to ed g found 79p and 99p so got 9 and 9 shots plus 4 deoderants and 1 no7 bodywash , used 5 pound voucher cost 2.94. Always chat nicely to SA's, distracts them :D but always look bored so they just think you're nice:rotfl:

    The free gift icon (free shot) has returned to the boots website, but is out of stock - no indication of when it will end (hopefully not soon ;)).
    I managed to get 3+3+6+6 in 4 different stores, but also spent £20-odd.. mainly because I was initially hesitant and bought 3 lots at each store instead of 6, so the discount was less. Happy with my purchases though :)

    Thanks a million OP!

    Also, the vitamin bottles are only 1/4 full, so I've placed 3 bottles of multivitamins into one bottle, the bottles are too ugly to bear the vision of so many of them!

    Hello all, thank you once again OP, managed to get myself a few more lots today, that's all for me now :D Please can someone give me some advice though please? I'm very concerned as I have used my advantage card with all (I think) of the transactions I have completed. Has everyone else been using their card. Is there anything Boots could do?? TIA

    No way it will last that long - either they will fix the glitch &/or remove all the stock

    I have used mine too, I wouldn't worry you are not doing anything wrong, you are paying what they ask you to pay for your items :)

    Are these shots the 'boost' ones or 'revitalise', or do any make the glitch work?
