    Hi,
    It has to be a specific type of giftcard which mentions pamper treatment for free. You have to top it with at least £20, fill in the details in the brochure that comes with he card, send it with the receipt from top-up, wait for the booklet with treatments in your area, send back the voucher with preferred treatment and they will call you to book. I did this over a month ago and am still waiting for the call!! This would not be a problem for you since you only spend 2 stamps, unfortunately I think that you only had until the end of may to claim the treatments and the bookings were until the end of June. So either the claim period has expired or there is no time to got through the motions. HTH

    Has anyone had their call to book the treatment or had the free pamper treatment?

    I phoned them on Friday as I had not heard anything for a month since I filled in the form and returned it. The guy I spoke to said there was a huge backlog and they were working through them! 15 mins later a lady called me back to arrange it - she told me the places I could go and asked me for dates/times and she will call me back to confirm - watch this space.

    I have some pamper cards to send off yet & it says need to be sent in by end of June - NO mention of when the treatments run out.

    See my post 1933 - they told me that so long as they receive them by the end of June you will get your treatment as some point!

    Never saw it on boots.com but here is one on ebay. It costs £9.50 in the shop but well worth it i think.

    EDITED: It only comes in the green with black mascara.

    There must be a massive back log coz I sent my form and reciept off about 2 months ago and still have not even got the list of treatments back yet, I cross my fingers every morning waiting for the post but to no avail, wo is me. lol

    As some of you are talking about free pamper treatments if you spend £15 in ELC you get a booklet with a free manicure, beauty treatment and a spa day for two link :)

    Still trying to get one.

    Just found this on a quick search though - check out the prices of No7 in the USA!! http://bootsus.bri-global.com/main.asp?cid=32&sid=7&iid=150 :eek:

    I know cosmetics and skincare are often the same price in dollars in America that they are in pounds here... but that a British brand should be CHEAPER in dollars than it is in pounds is just plain disgusting!!:eek:

    I was reading on another messageboard where a rep for Boots was asking what it would take for No7 to be seen as a "high end" brand. I would reckon not being sold for peanuts in the States would be one way! And not being sold in Target over there too!

    Wonder what they'd do if you ordered from the US site and asked them to send it to the UK? :huh:

    Brilliant Boots shop yesterday! We wanted to but a camera using my points i add 9495, the camera was originally £199.99 reduced to £109 but was the last 1 so they knocked 10% off price so it came to £99. Problem was i was 405 points short! I said no worries ill go and buy some stuff, SA said but to get that many points you will have to spend a lot, obviously she has never been on mse!

    *Bought 2 packs of Diarrohea tablets (used voucher in mag so got them free)
    *3 packets of Huggies pull ups (on bogof)
    *Always silk sanitary towels (had a voucher for a free packet)
    * Hydro Shave gel

    Total to pay £11.34
    Saving £15.75
    Points received 48
    Offer points 300 ( Diarrohea 100, Hydro shave gel 100, Spent over £10 another 100 points)
    Parenting points 72 (for huggies)

    Total points now 9915

    Then i sent dh to get 2 more of the shave gels (which are £1.39 each) and used 2 more 100 points

    Total points now 10115!

    Went back and bought camera. Then bought a half price memory card and they had an extra 250points so least my points are on the way back up but is weird only having £5ish on boots card (am waiting for 2100 oints from a car seat i bought online!)

    DH couldn't believe we got all that for 14.12 and got extra points. The diarrohea glitch was his favourite! ( we were on boots over 1 hr and he didnt complain once, dd did but bribed her with chocolate)
