    is it the bottle of 'Boots Rose Water Cologne 400ml' that gives the 500pts instore?

    Yes it is the "water Colognes". I have found that there is no sign advertising the 500 points. I have tried various varieties of these cheaper perfumes and the only 1 I found not giving the points was the So Exclusive. Also with the So perfumes it has to be the 50ml size at least, not the 30mls.

    I think Boots CS will help, they are usually very good, however I would imagine most of the SO perfumes are now out of stock, well they have been showing OS online for a few days. Good luck.

    You were right all So out of stock and didn't want to lose extra points by returning, so got 1000points compensation, not much, but better than nothing.

    I got so Brit from Chelmsford this morn.
  • Picked a box of So...? (the red boxed one) got to the perfume counter and the man scanned it at £3.93. He couldn't believe the price himself, when the shelf price said £5.24. He was soooo helpful and even pointed out that you were given the 500 points on top of the purchase and urged me to buy a few more boxes at that price as it's as though they were literally giving it away for free. We did go back to the shelf to check the prices, he called his female colleague over too, who said that she's going to put a few aside behind the till for herself:)

    Yes, on spends of £15 or more (instore).
  • I also cot the So Brit 50ml for £3.93 - showing as £5.25 on shelf, but no signs showing extra 500 points and the SA was absolutely clueless, just kept going on about having to spend £15 to get extra points, but the points were there on my receipt so all's well.
    It's 5 o'clock somewhere!

    The red So was £5.24 for me, but the Superstar and Brit were £3.93 (and I got the 500 points on each bottle). This was only in one store though, the other one I tried every variety of So was £5.24.
  • Thank you!
    Got 6 SO? Perfumes this morning which can go in my present stash and used the points to get myself the Lacoste Touch of Pink 90ml which is down from £48 to £32! So I got over a hundred quid (going by full prices) of perfume for £30. Very happy!
  • got a few more this morning 3 x brit and 1 x superstar all points worked ok and the brit ones were also £3.93...but the superstar was £5.24 for me..
