I am just skipping pages here so not sure if your machine is fixed or not. But, once when I went to a boots they had a sign over it saying out of order. I can't remember what I had said to the lady when I got to the till- perhaps I wanted to get a total spend point voucher or somthing anyway she removed the sign told me to use it and then put the sign back up!!!!!!! So perhaps the sign in your store has been up too long and the tape is not holding up anymore????????

I feel a Boots trip coming on this weekend. Skincare voucher I could live without but wave a no7 voucher under my nose and I'm anyone's! :j

I can't find the no7 weekend bag on the boots website but that sounds nice. OR I was thinking of spending some points on the £19.99 illuminated mirror to get a free jewellery wrap and then get a £5 voucher to spend. Can anyone recommend the mirror? Is it a good enough light to show up all imperfections?!

if you bought the mirror with points you wouldnt get a voucher back!

Two of my daughters had the Illuminated Mirror for Christmas and they are brilliant. The magnifying side is so good ( too good actually, shows every line & wrinkle) I use it for plucking my eyebrows. My eyesight is not so good now and I didn't realise how many I was missing.

Botanics shaving gel 50p with voucher.
They also had lots of old mags left!!!
I've got loads of points now!!!!

Thanks to all you Chester Bootsters!!!

I was too much of a wimp to try for MF boxes in chester and liverpool! Chester had a disaster with a pigsback voucher, last time i went v embarassing, kind of worth the troubl cos they credited me 260 pts too many and about £5 too much on my gift card!!

do you ever find any reduced stuff in the chester one? woman on pharmacy was REALLY funny about me ripping out a botanics voucher in my magazine!!

Lpool, had mr jamtart6 with me who was gettng fed up so got 1 nivea for men shaving foam...19p yay and a v quick trip to the ACM to no avail! i like it when mummy jamtart comes its much more fun!!

chester boots is my fave!! i will look out for you!!

Ot's not that impressive for £20 I got one for £10 as it had been opened and no coupons and 8 mini products but looks nice

Hmm, possibly. I'm going in today, asking and if they say no, I'm going to try anf get to head office, store and customer services are just trying to pass me to one another, whats the point in having ACM machines if they're never working?

mine didn't arrive in weeks - i e-mailed telling them this (and hoping they'd put a few extra points by way of appology!) had about 4 e-mails from them all asking for my card no and details....couldn't seem to get their act together but finally allocated my points, you really need to keep on top of them

Oh right - I did say I was out of practice with bootsing!!! Thank you for pointing that out. So, if I bought something else first with cash to get the voucher, could I then use the voucher against the mirror and still get a wrap? The total to pay would 1p under £15 or would it take the original price for the purposes of letting you have a wrap????

...and could I pay with points if I was also using a £5 voucher?

Fed up today. Bought some vouchers from Ebay last week & they've not arrived yet! So guess they're useless now! :mad:
Bought Sanctuary cleansing balm yesterday with some other bits. It was originally £10 reduced to £2.50 ! (showed as £10 on till too) Free with voucher. Was abit cheeky & tried to use 200 points voucher but SA was on the ball & refused to try it. :rolleyes:
But it might work for someone out there if you have a nice SA.

Went to get the mirror with a £16 voucher, but the girl on the till checked with her manager, who would not even let me pay the difference

not sure what to do now!

Also I have 7 mens vouchers, however, I am totally skint, is there anything I can get for free?
