    As I am disabled I asked my daughter to visit our local Boots store to take advantgae of this fabulous offer. There was nothing at all in store for this offer. All that she managed to get was 2, So ? Kiss me 30 ml eau de toilette which I think she paid £5.24 each with only double points - very disappointing :(

    I'm so sorry you have not been able to get any. Hopefully you wil be able to get some online or if your daughter or someone else you know if passing the Boots store, they could get you some maybe?

    They don't advertise the offer on the So...? and the other lower branded items. All I have seen is the "£5 worth of points" shelf edge label on the premium branded perfumes/aftershaves which are all over £35.

    I know this will be a bother, but if your daughter is passing the store and the So...? she purchased is sealed, she could always ask for a refund and then look for the 50ml versions. It ONLY works on the 50ml versions, not the 30ml ones.

    PS. Some stores won't refund perfumes, so be warned.

    I got a refund this morning on the So Exclusive I bought yesterday. It was in a sealed box so clearly unused. I didn't get the 500 points on it so returned it and got a different one, So Brit, and got the points

    Went into Edinburgh Gyle store today and picked up the Boots Cologne's...I've wanted enough points to get my Flowerbomb perfume, so picked up 4 at £4.39 and got £20.00 worth of points, woop!!

    IDK what I'm going to do with these...would it be really cheeky to try and get an exchange when the 500 points offer is finished...I really hate the smell of them haha

    I bought a Disney Fairies EDT at £5 and it give me the 500 points. I does not seem to be online.

    Also.... what in the world do I do with 12 Yarley Body Spray's? Perhaps the charity shop might take it!

    Finally... has anybody got the Versace Blue Jeans mentioned in the MSE email. I saw some in the perfume cabinet instore but it seemed to be nearly £30. Was I looking at the wrong bottle?

    Thanks for all your help

    Charity shops will happily take them. Maybe a women's refuge? Perhaps you have some female family members or someone at work maybe?
  • I bought the Versace Blue Jeans last weekend. It was half price @ £11.25, and I got 500 points, plus extra points during the points event as I spent £15+ in store, so it worked out at just over a fiver. It's 75ml, the bottle is inside a metal can. Hope that helps.

    I have the rose and lavender ones and they are brilliant added to the ironing water - make all your ironing smell gorgeous - plus the whole room when you are actually ironing.
    I am also planning to use them as room sprays and in old diffusers and to freshen up pot pouri.
    I was planing to buy the cologne one tomorrow to try on the ironing for the men in the household - a bit more masculine than the rose & lavender I thought.
    At this price (free!) if it doesn't smell nice I can always use it in the toilet as air freshener.;)
