Hi this is my first post, i have been reading your tips for the last week and have had a great time at boots. But i have just returned from Boots @ The Mall Bristol.
Heres what happened.
1. Tried to buy a max faxtor eyeliner £4.49 to see if i could get the GWP. Wont go through till.

2. Had a £5 roc voucer from previous GWP. Noticed they had some roc GWP, picked it up and a bottle of £6.95 toner. Then the Roc woman caught me and said i have to buy their crappy £27 foundation. Put that back.

(getting annoyed now!)

3. Looked at the mouth wash could only see triple points it you buy a bottle.

4. Spotted 4 JK nail files, paid for them but no bonus points issued? Think they have cottoned on? Now i am stuck with 4 JK nail files i dont really want. Can i return them?

5. Noticed a new line of fcuk toiletries. Get a free gift set worth £5 if your spend £8 on products. didnt try to swindle that one.

Rant over.

Same happened to me today. I bought 2 JK nial files but didn't receive any bonus points. Does anyone know if they can be returned? Thanks

aaarrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhh....i just got my AC 6 weeks ago and its now kaput. dead.

went to buy some meal deal and a olay facewash. handed my £3 olay voucher and sa wouldnt take it. ok fine. paid with card. there was a 'beep'. i dont know if she pulled the ac out too soon or its the fault of the card itself. dismiss it thinking nothing to do with me. paid, went out of boots, and discovered i wasnt given any points. went back in, and she stuck the card in again, and the card is dead. ......called cs and new card will take 3 to 4 weeks to arrive. very sad. sigh.

Just had an e-mail from boots with a printable voucher for 100 ac points wys £10 or more in store valid until 14/8/07. E-mail title was get beach gorgous.

It says there are 3 ways to get your voucher :
print it off at home
print it out from the ac machine
enter the code on-line if doing an on-line shop.

LOL Is there anyone on here NOT pregnant

I'm not but my 16 year old found out he was thanks to a phone call from customer services after I erm emailled them to find out why after 8 months of getting his card he was still getting no offers.

Woops! I'm sure he was with me at the time I signed him up but he still denies it. He managed to bluff his way saying he was just up (3pm Sunday after noon if I remember correctly!)

The moral of the story is if your signing someone else up to the club - make sure you tell them especially if they are male!!!!!

I'll never forget the look I got and if looks could kill I'd be 6ft under right now, but on a lighter note we still giggle about it.

Woohoo, I had a haul (a small one but a haul nonetheless!).

Max Factor colouradapt foundation £11.95
Max Factor creme puff refill £4.45
Max Factor GWP £0.00

Total £16.40

Used £12 gift vouchers

Amount left to pay £4.40

Also got the free 7 steps booklet and the free stop smoking pack so lots of little freebies. Plus the SA asked for my AC when my OH bought his mouthwash so got some extra points too

Loved that the GWP bag comes in yellow or pink, I picked pink

Oh and the free nail file IS rubbish - mine just split :cool:
