    Does anyone else still have problems getting vouchers out of the ac machine

    Ive had my card since jan and still get comps? does anyone else still have

    the same problem?


    Have you tried different AC machines or the same one? I have noticed that offers differ from AC machine to machine, even in the same store. Yesterday in one machine I was offered 250pts on £30 spend, then another in the same store 150pts on £20 spend.

    I have stopped receiving mailings for about a year now, have phoned to complain and they keep saying I am on the list, but still nothing!

    Just back from my first ever car boot sale had lots of toys, household stuff and loads of stuff from my Bootsing and Tescoing. Well I sold about 2 toys, very little of the household stuff and HEAPS of Boots and Tesco stuff, No 7 items from bags for £1 each (sold like HOTCAKES), Botanics Bars (25p), Golden Glow (£1) etc etc. Made £155 and I reckon £100 of that was Boots stuff.

    So if like me you have overdone the Bootsing, would definitely recommend selling some of it at a car boot, it's a good day out if nothing else!

    No P&P left at Crystal Peaks today. My MIL asked me to look for her as she wants to see what all the fuss is about !! (She is 66 this year) And hardly a line on her face apart from the laughter lines. She says its not what u put on your face but the massage you rub it in with that stops the lines.

    Ooooh....well done you!! Thats a great profit!!

    I went to a car boot sale this morning, buying, not selling..and there was an awful lot of No7 stuff about, especially suncreams and glossy locks etc. I reckon there must be a few MSE/Bootsers over Battersea way ;)

    On the way home I stopped at a Boots I hadnt been in before, and found the most wonderful SA ever to grace a Boots till. I tried to get 2 different Sanctuary body washes and use the £5 skincare vouchers. "Oh," she said "that voucher wont work with these". I was about to tell her that I had bought non facial skincare with the vouchers yesterday, and that nowhere on the voucher did it say facial only, but she said "I have been trying all sorts of things with those vouchers myself, and the sanctuary stuff in orange packaging seems to go through, but the newer ranges dont, I will cancel this lot while you grab some of the orange packaging stuff if you like, you wont have to pay anything then"

    :eek: What an angel!!! :T

    the boots in EK had a sign up saying there was no stock of P& p.It was a proper head office sign so obviousily a few stores have the same problem.
    Managed to get some sanctuary body lotion with my skincare vouchers for nothing .I also got a sanctuary raidance scrub using the £3 voucher from last months magazine and the £5 skincare voucher.
    I didnt know if the £5 vouchers would work on any of the facial wipes so just left it.

    Cat72...I found the vouchers work on No7 and RoC wipes, and another poster used one on Time Delay wipes. (No7 £1.25 with voucher, RoC 99p with voucher, TD free with voucher)

    HTH :D
