Hi, I seem to have loads of Boots vouchers that will run out at the end of the month. I have AC vouchers, vouchers from the No7 wrap and some others, please feel free to PM me if you are looking for anything specific as I may have it if you don't mind sending a SAE.
I would be interested in any vouchers for Boots points when you buy Huggies or even Tesco point vouchers when you buy nappies, wipes, etc, thanks.

This is not moneysaving. Buying an item for £21.00 then taking it back for £31.00 is a bit dodgy, if you ask me.

I'm glad you didn't find my Advantage Card - imagine if you were unable to "resist temptation" as you put it.

Wow - chill out Mdeebee!

Are you honestly tellin me that if you took an item back for a refund at a national highly succesful retailer who make millions every year, they refunded an extra £10 to your card by accident you would look at it and say "actually this is wrong...." I'm sorry but it is money saving, it's just lucky the till did it.

I disagree with anyone taking a small independent retailer for a ride, it comes out of an individuals pocket. With a national it's a very different story, as a "moneysaver" do you have an issue with people getting free MF boxes, and wraps with a lower spend than supposed to, and what about the 641 on suncare last month? 6 £5.50 items for 50p? It is a very similar thing when you think about it.

As for the Boots card, remember I handed it in. My point is that when I did pass it to a member of staff, they weren't even the slightest bit bothered, not even a thank you. It would be so easy for a less responsible person to spend the points as they are meant to be treated by the customer as cash, and that's Boots stance. I HANDED IT IN.

Sorry for causing a stir.

Plotted a nice voucher haul in my mind, only to find I had forgotten my vouchers at home, gah!

Since I had to buy lunch anyway, i wandered to boots to "have a look..." (in the baskets for discarded vouchers. No joy

Wandered along past the Max Factor area silently cursing the lack of MF boxes... when all of a sudden, there they were! 3 of them on a top shelf and a stack in the corner! hurrah!!! Hovered around, picked up a box (they only had the black ones), and then wondered what else to get so it wouldn't be suspicious that i had something free. The ACM gave me a triple points voucher on a muffin :rotfl: Decided on a BOGOF No7 suncare treat, £7.50 spent plus a wrap... then passed the baskets again and noticed that there was a scrunched up voucher trapped 3 layers down! One very un-subtle wrestling match with the baskets and I'd freed it, off to get some Nivea shaving foam... disaster...! shelf bare! Consoled myself with thought of free botanics lip balm using the "female" voucher, all gone too! lol there must be a few MSE'ers around

Got the botanics wipes with my voucher instead. Typical fashion the pharmacy guy scans the MF box first and says "oh its a gift" so i wave my hand at the basket explaining it's free with stuff in there heheh

bit of a roller coaster boots shop today

Edit: Forgot to say, it's the Kensington High Street (main branch) of Boots with the MF boxes - woohoo!

Hi,can some one tell me, is it still possible to get more for £5 no 7 voucher parenting voucher,like the £16 voucher, eg by picking something up more expensive and it goes through free

Hi chelle333,

Someone managed to get the peel free (£8) with the voucher and I got No7 Hydra Quench Sauna Mask (£9) free and managed to use my 250 point voucher from wrap. Don't know how much it would scan for and of course all depends on whether you get an eagle eyed sa or not.:rotfl:

Hello All

Have been in to Boots this lunch time (fancy that!) as had one mens skincare voucher left. I bought a double pack of mens botanic skin scrub and moisturiser for £5. With £2.50 off, obviously £2.50 to pay. Grabbed a mag and tore out the Botanics 100 extra points as well. Upon looking at my receipt when i left the shop i noticed that yes i did get the 100 extra Botanic points i only actually received 1 point on the total of the actual goods. Any idea why I only got 1 point?. I thought Boots gave 4 per pound spent?

Many thanks in advance fellow Bootsters.

Same thing happened to me last week when I used my voucher on a Sanctuary product. Not sure why it does it.
