I personally wouldn't buy a £160 gift card for any store online, regardless where from but like someone said this is £5 which is a LOT different. I can spend anywhere upto £35-£40 a month in Boots, mainly top-ups for mobile but also glitches etc on here so this is a way of saving a little more.

Perhaps it's a boots employee who gets them cheaper?

staff dont get discount on gift cards, just get discount when they pay with a giftcard. Think id be a bit dubious where he gets them from though, with so many.

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:

Just had a look as I'm going to the States shortly so think I might get some P&P, if it really is that cheap over there. Just checked and it's $21.99 (about £11.60) compared to the £16.75 over here. So not quite the same price in dollars as pounds, but a nice discount all the same.

For anyone else taking advantage of the exchange rate in the near future, it's called 'Restore & Renew' - you know what the Americans are like - didn't know how to pronounce "perfect". This is the official explanation:

"No7 Protect & Perfect is the UK name for the Beauty Serum. Restore & Renew was chosen as the international name for the Beauty Serum as feedback from overseas markets was that people were unsure how to pronounce ‘perfect’."

Does anyone know if the No 7 free gift box ia available if you spend £16 online? I can't see it anywhere on the Boots site but it was shown in an advert in a Sunday mag today as being in stores and online. Ta.

Just back from a battle around my local Boots - it was mayhem in there....did you all come to my local??? :-)

Got a freebie Trevor Sorbie conditioner - perfect travel size - with the vouchers from the ACM. Absolutely no No7 GWP's left so saved the voucher for another day. Got lots of BOGOFs though which added up to £20 and another 150 points voucher!

They've run out pretty much everywhere already If you find one in a little store, you're very lucky! They won't be getting any more either. (This info from customer services yesterday)
