    Obviously Boots think so.

    Pat - try not to think that everyone on this board was having a go at you. The op was just asking and it's quite possible they are puzzled why someone would buy 5 bottles of perfume, I don't think it's a criticism. I realise it is different when the shoe is on the other foot and sometimes when it's you're topic that it more difficult to take a step back.

    I didn't ask to be judged, i asked people what they would do if this happened to them.
    I do already know that you can be refused custom by any store/place without them giving a reason.
    I was asking people how they would react.
    I've been quite forthcoming in my answers, got nothing to hide.
    Does no one else spend thousands over a few years?
    Why is that so hard to grasp?
    No one knows my exact circumstances, whether i have bought from boots other than offers, but are quite willing to assume that is the case.

    I give up - still you have a go at me.
    It doesn't matter what people say, you won't listen, you've been given advice. Have I spend a few thousand on shopping at boots - no not at all. Do I buy 5 bottles of perfume at a time- no.
    What would I do - nothing.

    You've had a go at everyone - I'm afraid I've run out of sympathy for you.

    I'd post on the appropriate board instead of clogging up Discussion Time.

    The offers are there.
    I'm not responsible for putting them there.
    They are making a loss who ever buys them if you're looking at it from that point of view.
    Nowhere does it state anything like 'offers strictly limited to one per customer.'
    They should be looking at changing their policies instead of banning ordinary customers from shopping, surely?
    Then why do you think you have been banned?

    Do you think Boots will make more money with you as a customer or without you as a customer?

    OP is annoyed because Boots decided to ban her for continually shopping online offers.

    If you want to vacuum up offers without being tracked, don't use websites, don't use loyalty cards and don't use debit cards. Simples.

    It's not unusual for stores to limit offers, Lidl often limits them to 6 per customer and Ocado to 20 per customer, to name but two.

    If you haven't read the T & C's and don't stick by them any store has the right to ban you and it's your own fault for getting banned.

    That was a joke but that's how Boots may see your actions.
