I recently joined the Boots Health Club (leaflet in store) and get mailing and vouchers through that.
Also don't forget if you're over 60 to join the Health Club, register your advantage card and then the till automatically deducts 10% of any Boots own brand stuff! I have saved loads by doing this -it even took 10% off a hair brush I bought at Gatwick airport in the Boots shop. Also of course includes all No. 7 cosmetics.:T

Hey Fenella!

What is the Health Club? Do you have to pay to join or is it like the parenting club, free?

Can you join if you are under 60?

Man, Boots is rubbish this month. I went in armed with 6 £5 sanctuary vouchers, they still dont go through the till. But the good thing is that you can then pay for the products in one transaction as the prices just get overriden. Therefore, you can gain a free luxury bathing/opticians voucher if you get my point

i know its slightly off topic but does any one know where to get any cheap benefit makeup from online?

wenbt to trafford centre, no offers i could justify, so i had to have a sly go of the benefit sharpeners £5 and 500 pts ding ding ding!

I don't know the exact connection, but I do know that Too Faced cosmetics are something to do with Benefit, and there are bits and pieces here:

hiya...

if you have a receipt they will definately take it back. I have had to do this a few times.

Without a receipt they should put it on a gift card if you explain that they are not suitable for your skin type X

Ive had a nightmare reaction to the body butter from the pregnancy med range. Put it on some dry patches last night as it claims to moisturise dry pregnant skin. Ermm no it turned mine red raw!! Had to get baby wipes and wipe it all off while it stung like crazy!

Ive just thrown it out as i got it free with some pregnancy vouchers so didnt feel i could ask for cash back or a card.

I have successfully returned two lots of Botanics body/face creams. Told the SA that it was a present;) and could I return it for something else. I swapped it for some perfume the first time and some tights and shampoo the second time.

I've had my card now for 3 and a half years - nothing through the post, might call up and moan a little - they keep advirtising all these mailings, and i've had nothing!

Hi all

I have noticed a few people saying that they don't get offers through the post.

If you look in the latest Boots Health & Beauty Mag Mar/Apr 07 there is an article about the Advantage card mailing list on page 72-73.

If you haven't got it - basically it sounds like everyone should be sent regular offers - unless you opted not to receive mailings when you signed up for your card.

So if you don't get them ring the advantage helpline number which is 0845 124 45 45 and ask to be added to the mailing list (it says that they don't give your details to anyone else).

Hopefully you should get them then.

Called up about 6 times over the years, regularly check my card details, they are ticked as happy to recieve mailings, and CS have said the same.
