  • Panache 0 25929 18028 2

    Tweed 0 25929 18038 1

    Lace 0 25929 18018 3

    Be careful with the Lace, there is a 100ml spray that looks really similar to the 75ml can, but it doesn't give any points! I picked 2 up by mistake so will have to try & take them back? I don't know if they will accept body sprays as returns though as they aren't sealed?

    I was coming on to say the same thing 100ml didn't work interestingly it was £2.50 for the 100ml and £2.49 for the 75ml and it was all mixed together as I noticed in store the very nice sa refunded me and put through the 75ml for the penny difference but gave me the 100ml I love boots staff they always bend over backwards to help.
  • Thanks OP

    Picked up a few panache sprays. Used 150 points of 15 pound spend from the ACM.

    Everytime I got to the tills the staff say 'ain't you got a lot of points'.. erm...

    I tend to make conversation with them when the receipt is coming out and then pull it off them before they see how many points I have. They do such a big hooha if they see. I'm almost at £700 worth of points thank to the Clarins glitch a while back and the vitamins extra points. Woohoo!

    Managed to get 2 x Yardley Lavender and 2 x Panache. Woohoo. More air freshener and loads more points.

    Be sure to have a look at the clearance stands. Shed loads of Tweezerman manicure kits/nail files at 75% off. Lynx bullets had clearance on them too. Loads and loads of back ache remedies and gels and bits and pieces too.

    Is the points also working on the 75ml yardleys sprays?
  • i see this is now one of 'martins' weekly deals as 'boots perfume loophole'
    he's listed:

    So? Super Star EDT 50ml for £5.24
    So? Kiss Me EDT 50ml for £5.24
    Disney Hannah Montana EDT for £5.53
    Glee Gold or Purple EDT 50ml for £10
    Versace Blue Jeans EDT 75ml for £6.25

    To add to the list SO? Sinful works and actually smells gorgeous.

    I'm slightly concerned that Boots will set a minimum spend on the offer now that the offer has been publicised as even the Boots staff seem unaware of the promotion. If he's put it on twitter I think it's game over!

    I went back to the Hammersmith branch and asked about the offer and the SA said it was an online offer only and I just went along with it and did not let on that 500 points had been added after the transaction.

    For those of you who purchased more than one bottle, did you receive 500 points on each bottle and did you put them through as individual transactions or did the points add up altogether at the end? I want to prepare my legs if I have to keep on going back for more bottles, don't want to let on :rotfl:

    :think: i wonder then if it works on all sprays where the perfume is included in the offer, eg the tweed perfume gives points so does the spray.

    yardley lavender perfume gives points so does spray

    anyone willing to chance it on another yardley spray, maybe rose or daisy?
  • Went in to my local boots today to treat myself to a bottle of Versace Woman 50ml as its on offer for £15.50. Saving £14.50. It is also included in the extra 500 points.:T

    I bought 50ml So.. superstar in the Durham store for £5.24 and got 500 points (plus the 4 points per £1 spend = 20 points)

    Total spend 4p for a bottle of perfume, might sell it on ebay if I don't like it.

    I asked about the cologne water and the SA said "it won't work on that" and took it off me. I'll try a different till tomorrow for the cologne as it was only £4.39

    ***UPDATE***
    Bought the cologne at £4.39 today (30/08) and got 500 points.


    ***UPDATE***
    Bought a Yardley body spray today 31/08 and didn't get bonus points, looks like they've stopped this one.

    So Miss Pleasant SA...it does work!!!!
