    Are your sprays all 75mls as there are some 100mls cans that look almost identical but don't give points?


    Yes they are all 75ml sprays:(

    I think it's the So Exclusive that is not working.


    Do you think I would be too cheeky taking that one back and buying another that does work.

    Has anyone else taken something back when the points didn't work.

    Thanks hun

    Some might disagreee with me, but I would give it a go. You could always say your friend/daughter/mother asked you to get it, and you picked up the wrong one.

    Is it sealed in cellophane or just in a box? If it is sealed there should be no problem retunring, might be more tricky if it is just in a box but give it a go. I find the B00ts SAs are usually very obliging.

    Nearly all the Yardley sprays were reduced in my local Boots to work (Malvern), down to £1.87.

    Got 6 x daisy (@£1.87) and 2 x lavender (still £2.50) and got the points on the lot- plenty left for others.

    I always take these type of things to the pharmacy counter to pay, the ladies on there are very nice and never seem to bother.

    Had to stop myself doing a happy dance :)

    They were all 75ml

    I wouldn't feel guilty at all taking advantage of these offers , after all Boots have either overstocked on suncream mini's and if they don't sell them at 6 for 1 we would likely see them in the £1 shops soon ...... or..... its the lull before Xmas and they are using these sub £5 products to get us to part with our money to ease cashflow. We aren't getting something for nothing, look at it as depositing money in a Xmas Club - when we spend our points it may be on full priced (often over priced) Xmas gifts so on the over all transaction probably no better than half price.

    Went and got some more 75ml!:j

    They all worked except Coty (the red one, sorry forgot the name!):o

    To those who are being trouted, might be useful to buy a couple of other items so it is not too obvious what the points are for and then return them after the promotion is finished.

    Thanks a billion OP!:D

    I tried the 1/2 price L'Aimant rose Bodyspray, but didn't receive any points! swopped them for yardley rose and paid the difference :) I'm saving my points to spend in boots at the airport :D
