Ok I am new to bootsing but have had my advantage card for 4 weeks now, however I still have had no offers from the AC machine, only one I keep getting is some competition, is this right?
I have built up £28 in points on it (although I missed out on another £1.50today as forgot to hand it over and did not realise until I was home).

I have the same problem, i've had that competition up for ages now booo can't wait to get some decent offers

Romford, said no to the boxes again, think ALL SAs know about this, they've constantly refused me. Found a double voucher and a single mens voucher. No mags, but got a botanics facewipe pack a pore refiner lotion and eye makeup remover for 50p each, stock up. Still no shave foam there, stuck as to what to get with vouchers - other half not too fond of the botanics shave gel.

And nothing good reduced And AC machines have now been broken since friday. All 3 of them. Graaaaghhhh!

When I bought mens botanics shave gel, SA said I couldnt use 100 points coupon as it said on £2.50 voucher not to be used in conjunction with any other voucher/coupon.

I mentioned that I had used them both together before. SO she said she would try it but she didnt think points would be added on. Luckily it worked ok.

I find voucher acceptance varies a lot from store to store. Some SA over-ride & let you use anything/ manually put on extra points & others are total jobs worth & just say no, not willing to even give it a try.

I found a great SA the other day, by far the nicest Ive met in boots. She chatted to me as if I was a long lost friend & couldnt of been more helpful.

Saying that I have been treated very rudely before as & made to feel as if I was doing something illegal, when all I was doing was taking advantage of glitches/ extra points for very little spend.

Whilst browsing for the 'elusive' Sanctuary facial products today I did come across a Clearasil offer of buy any two products for £6.50. Selected first time rapid treatment gel at £5.99 each then pre scrub lotion at £4.25 each. No 'extra' points etc. available but at least I got £2.50/£2.50 voucher each time...with two teenagers I feel another stock-pile starting

btw, I did manage to get a reduced £2.49 Botanics face scrub free with ladies voucher but the reduced £2.50 Nivea mens face wash wouldn't link with the mens voucher

And me, I've had mine a few weeks but no offers every time I go to the machine.

I feel left out

I feel like there's a little man in the machine and once he sees me actually paying for something in full rather than using a load of vouchers and the like he'll then press the big green go button lol

I have 3 spare of the 100 points WYB any product from the aromatherapy range, exp 27/2. These are from the AC machine, if anybody would like one pm me. A SAE would be appreciated.

Hi - first posting on this thread .

I have been sent some vouchers from Boots, they are for Huggies nappies (1 x 300pts & 2 x 200 pts). They have my name on them. Can they only be used by me, or can anyone use them? My son wears Pampers - so they are no use to me.

If anyone wants them - please pm me and I can post them out tomorrow.

You could buy 3 packs of huggies to get the £7 worth of points and then exchange them, 1 pack at a time for pampers. Just say 'DH bought the wrong ones'

Hi, I have a £5 parenting voucher off no 7 stuff and a 250 point voucher from the wrap off hydra quench stuff, whats the best thing to go for as my mind goes to jelly when I get in there and have no clue what to do with them. Thanks for your help!

Hi, I went for the Hydra Quench Sauna Mask which is £9 and the cheapest in the range (I think). Chose this in case it all went pear shaped at the till. Went through free, no problems with the £5 voucher and used the 250 point voucher as well. Don't know if it would work with the more expensive things in the range.

I've caught a nasty cold and have almost used up my stash of Cold and Flu sachets which were reduced to 99p so effectively free with the 100pts coupon.
Does anyone know if they are still reduced or has that offer finished now?
